Armstrong Powerhouse Class 205 Thumper!!

Scenario for the Wherry Lines here http://rail-sim.de/forum/wsif/index.php ... 0e93#files

Doesn't show up in-game?

[smarty2]

Just tried to make a scenario with a consist but the game just hung? Are AP working on a solution to this since it has been reported already?

I also had a problem putting down a consist but putting down the individual vehicles was fine.

Really enjoying driving it - what a superb piece of work!

Sorry about this. Re-download and you should be sorted.

Another Wherry scenario http://rail-sim.de/forum/wsif/index.php ... c29f#files

I tried this scenario after re-downloading the Class 205:

After re-installing, I cleared the cache (of course). The scenario still crashes with a black screen after loading.
Who can help?

Hi Richard,

Thanks for sorting this out so quickly. Re-downloading worked for me.

Sorry if it's old news, but there's a bug fix patch for the 205 which includes a very nice bonus Railtrack sandite unit.

Still seem to be getting the shadow of the roller blind showing through the windscreen though.

Should the panels when lit be visible from the outside during the day? They seem too dark?

[holzroller]

In real life they were lit by two light bulbs which only was apparent in the dark. Like other units of the time.

Right, two other points, not got my grumpy hat on either just a few observations 1: you can't hear any engine sounds in the non powered driving trailer at all, one would assume you would hear them especially with the powered trailer directly behind in a two car setup even at reduced levels? 2: unlike AP's tweaked 37 you can hear engine reverb under bridges and tunnels... you can't in the 205? I'm guessing they are just omissions? But despite these inconsistencies I am loving driving these demu's!

1) Hard to believe I know but in reality, the engine is almost inaudible in the cab of the DTC, even in a 2 car. They are there in-game but very subtle and require you to have your volume quite loud.
2) Reverb is purely route based and not specific to rolling stock.

Hope that helps and I'm pleased that, on the whole, you're enjoying the unit!

Hi Rich, wow, they must be really subtle! I do crank up the volume pretty high! Even with the windows open? As for the reverb I am using it on the Wherry lines and notice the 37's grunt really reverbs but not the 205? And yes I am having tons of fun driving it on that line! Non Prototypical as that is
