Just wanted to give a huge thank you to Andy for this, it's a stunning freeware route, outstanding work Sir, and thanks also to David for allowing you to upgrade it and the other associates involved in the construction of this project. Your route building skills are superb with smooth trackwork, brilliant OHLE, the Stations are all excellently put together, your good use of 2D trees has kept fps up into the high numbers, you've included enough trackwork at the major stations for more variety of train consists, and your use of assets is fabulous. I was quite taken with your viaduct at Bletchley, not a brick out of place, everywhere across the whole layout is polished and everything is in its right place, just enough width of scenery along the whole route when in helicopter view to keep the stability, superlevation is there but not too intrusive, trackwork speeds and signage excellent, you've even provided a bit of mileage for the Tube fans, and your various yards and sidings along with Willesden Motive Power Depot and other areas of interest will undoubtedly offer a whole host of varied scenario action in the future, and apart from a couple of hiccups that have already been spotted, it's an amazing achievement, thank you for this contribution, well done, now go and have a rest, young man, you deserve it.

Cheerz. Steve.

Thanks Steve.
I don't think I'll ever rest, there's always too much to do and not enough hours in a day. I may just do some recreational driving for a change (if I get chance :wink: )

Crikey, those fields of wheat don't know when to give up - first enticing Mrs.May, now trying it with a Pendolino :lol:

Had a little drive from Euston - Harrow in the AP 319, very impressed with what I've seen so far - love the assent up Camden Bank and looking forward to exploring the underground section, big thank you to everyone involved with this project!

Looking at the installer bat, I've not got these. I assume that's the problem with the missing portals :lol:

Right then scenario creators get cracking! :) I'll let you off if you are waiting for the 64-bit version... :wink:

Probably already on the case knowing Andy but with the fast lines quickdrive from Euston to BNS there's a red as a crossover is stuck against you around Scrubs Lane after Kensal Green and just before the Olympia line converges from your left.
Can't tab the signal or change the points but there's no derail if you just roll over them.

I found this problem as well - it's the crossover just west of the Willesden Up Fast label which is set to cross from the Up Fast to the Down Fast, and is so set against any train leaving on the Down Fast. The signals are working correctly, and tell you to stop - if you don't ignore them. The first time I tried this I did ignore them, drove through and line speed, and derailed.

One other thing - the gradient ramp on the fast lines leaving Euston around Park Street Tunnel reaches 1 in 16, and stands out as very unprototypical - I hope you can make this more realistic in the next version.

I must thank the authors for this - installs without problem with just the one missing file that has already been reported, and looks great. I'm off to explore some more.

Yes, after much tinkering I couldn't find the problem, so I've re-written this QD and it now works fine. Will include it in the "Fix" patch
I've never really been happy with the gradient on the fast lines leaving Park Street tunnel, but the short distance available to climb 8 to 10 meters, taking into account the crossovers, has made modelling this section difficult.
I'll try to have a look at this if I get chance, but no promises.

I believe this texture is as it should be. If where this type of fence is being used is appropriate, is another question ? :wink:

I hadn't got those files either but now have them, and the headwalls are still missing for me.

Re-run the installer.bat , overwrite any other files if prompted.
