I have looked on the ap Facebook page as normally people upload videos to that shortly after release but all I see are posts with people saying they have dump files and no sounds on the hst or coaches
Ask Master Key maybe??

On a positive note I think its very realistic, very pleased so far and would say that the 10 min video on Youtube is more than enough to give a preview of what to expect. Another great package from AP. And a real bonus at only £7.99. Couple that with my 14 days on Paypal I dont have to pay till payday at the end of the month... Win Win

Only negative for me is I dont want to update the other packs and lose the Virgin liveries that came with them. I guess I will lose them one day but if I can hold on to them all the better

EDIT: In fact I have just seen the post on the Class 91 pack and it appears I am incorrect regarding the liveries so thank you Richard, thats made my day

:lol:

On a more serious topic, the trailer video on the AP website gives a very good overview of this excellent pack. Thank you once again Richard and the team

When placing the enhanced HST in scenarios, which providers do I need to tick? Just Kuju?

Yes except - as you would in all cases - RivieraLine for the Riviera Line-based FGW, BristolCardiff for the South Wales Coastal-based GWR, and ECMLS for the ECMLS-based East Coast, all of which have been included in the enhancement pack

Rosschris - look I have to ask as it's sitting in my head, are you holding back for the Master Key version because it's AP or because of the model? I can't find much fault with it but clearly others seem to find it dated. Maybe it's because I originated from the early days of MSTS, where nowadays any model looks better! :lol:

I too will like to see what will come of it but I shall be taking the £7.99 offer which thanks to bri2808 I now remember I can take the 14 day option!

One main reason for getting the enhancement pack is I held back on 377 soundpack some time ago to find out a new one was being created. The WIP shots were brilliant, superb features etc but then it vanished and it never saw the light of day. Went straight to the 377 soundpack and wished I got it sooner than later

Hi James nice to see you active on the forums again and also thank you for your recent excellent scenario pack brough me hours of fun so thank you

No it is nothing to do with ap I recently purchased the class 91 and the class 175 enhancement packs and must say they are really really good and can't fault them one bit. Like you I am from the old mars days (still have the big cardboard box and disk lol). I then switched to railworks (still got the black box that came in with the funny black disk with lumps on it lol) and have used the hst from that point to this point as have not had any problems with it. This pack does look good but what is the point in me spending 9,99 for something I am happy with at present to get a few extra sounds which I have not had problems with since railworks days. If this came with a new cab or cab overlay to add extra functions and more detail I would purchased it straight away but for me the benifit of the pack does not appeal to me. That's not to say everyone else should not buy it. As like I said it looks really nice but for me it don't do me anything

We all like different things and I will await the new class 43 from the new developers then compare

I am interested in this, but depsite all i have read in order to qualify for this, such as having a confirmed bank account, I cannot see anywhere in either Paypal or at the point of purchase - where I am only offered a 'Pay Now' button, where I too can take advantage of it as I get paid next Friday.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Will there be a way to retrieve the old MTU Pro scenarios, and any changes made to the Mk3 sounds?

how do you mean Tycoonkid9 are you refering to a old scenario pack from a while back?

On my PayPal I can select pay after delivery, and this then delays the payment until 14 days later.

Click this link may help a little as to whether there is any requirements. I have it for most of my paypal purchases. False economy? Maybe but at least keeps the Mrs off my back :lol:

Follow the instructions in the Manual! They work! All I can do here is repeat them, so just re-check the manual
