Routes that contain the DTG AP01 Scenery Pack

[amtrake8a]

Hello,

I have the North London Line 1985 route and all the requirements that need to be installed except for the DTG AP01 Scenery Pack. I don't have the Woodhead route that contains the scenery pack, but according to the route author, there are other routes that have this pack. Can anyone please tell me which DLC routes do have the AP01 Scenery Pack?

I think that it is also available as part of the West Of Scotland Lines, though that appears to be more expensive than Woodhead on the Steam store at the moment.

Thank you. I would like to have the Woodhead route, but not until Armstrong Powerhouse creates a sound pack for the EM1s and 2s.

Won't it be a bit difficult for Richard to record any sounds?

Erm, he doesn't create sounds, but pieces together high quality recordings from the actual things. There are none operational and only one EM1 got preserved I believe and 3 EM2s (could 3 out of 7 be a preservation record ratio for a class?). Even if there was an operational one there would be nowhere for it to run.

Didn't the AP01 Scenery pack come come with Falmouth aswell?

I think one is possibly operational in Holland or at least was quite recently, Only 7 were built so that's almost half the class preserved

Some routes have come out since this post which may also contain the Asset Pack

The route is worth getting anyway, it is still one of the most atmospheric routes as far as I am concerned and some of the scenery is lovely.

You can drive steam and diesel realistically over it too.

The EM1 and EM2 loco's sound fine to me but I have never heard one in real life so I don't know what they sound like but I can't imagine they can be much different.

However I suspect you will be waiting a long time for a sound pack.

Hi

As the old southern region routes are the only DC routes left in the country maybe the nearest sound to old EM1\2 might be one of GBRf electro diesel loco's(Is Mersey Rail DC?)
.
With train sims some times you have to compromise,you will never get any thing 100% right

I have seen this video on YouTube with an operational EM2 in Holland.

However, I may consider getting the route as is. It's better than nothing, and I think the RailRight class 40 would feel right at home.

And thank you DaveDewhurst for providing that forum link with a list of routes that might have what I need.

Hi

in answer to amtrake8a's original question, APStation has been a default steam download on my installation since 2011 so I cant say how I originally got it, but I have done a quick check on my routes using RWTools and the following all show the RSC APStation pack as a requirement:

China Clay for Export
Doncaster Works
Falmouth Branch Line
Hatchet Hill Quarry
Horseshoe Curve
Northeast Corridor
Portsmouth Direct Line
Pietermaritzburg to Ladysmith
Settle to Carlisle
WCML over Shap
Woodhead Line

Hope that helps

Peter

Much different to what?
RSC thought the same thing and gave the locos a two-tone AC Electric Horn

Woodhead would be a nice route if there wern't so many things wrong with it and the locos.

Operational in "November-December 2006?" when the video was shot....according to the text under it anyway. If you're basing your opinion of the EM1/EM2 sounds on a single video though......

In real life they 'clunked and clanked' along, particularly the EM1s as they were used on slower, often un-fitted freights.

I believe it was a freebie, existing users got it but it never became a 'core' pack so those coming into the game later didn't automatically get it.

They sound like an electric loco, that it good enough as I never heard the originals in action. I can recognise the sound of an class 81 to class 87 and would know if the sounds on one of those was wrong. Maybe if I heard a class 76 I would notice the difference but it would be pretty hard to DTG or RSC as they were then to record one.

As I never travelled on the route it looks good to me, it has plenty of atmosphere and captures the area well (from what I can imagine it feeling like in the time period set). Maybe you could enlighten us to all the problems with the route, or better still tell DTG about them, maybe they would put the route right for you.

I am just expressing my opinion, just as you are.
