Armstrong Powerhouse Mk1 Brakes - fixed

[daveannjon]

These coaches do look very good, but can someone tell me if the blood and custard ones all have the BR crest? If so it is incorrect, only coming in with maroon stock I believe, although some present day charter stock may carry them.

Thanks

Going by the AP changelog it looks like they've uploaded fixed versions of these carriages now

If you add ;L=0 (number 0 not letter 0) to the coach number in the scenario editor the crest is removed---21389 would become 21389;L=0 for example.

Excellent, thank you!

They are probably always going to be run behind air braked locos but many TS locomotives ( even things like class 40's) have dual brake set-ups. Also some of the mark 2 stock may be run behind steam locos perhaps ? But the point is that its a relatively easy fix to something that might have an impact.

In fact so easy that Armstrong Powerhouse have fixed it tonight and updated their downloads...

Amazing
Updating via Armstrong Powerhouse for both - a download of 2GB is needed PLUS a 2GB remnant (not needed) left on your hard drive.
Updating via UKTS Mk 1 553Kb (say Mk2 is the same if and when published) so around 1 MB for both and NO remnant on the hard drive.

I wonder why there is such a huge discrepancy?

Because the AP is a full download of the updated package which includes the fix so that future customers have a correct complete set. The UKTS one is just my modified .bin files. A critical view is always best supported by a profound understanding I find.

A sensible mode of thinking, BUT.....wouldn't a small fix package for those who'd already downloaded the coaches available at AP do the job with no extraneous disc space used?

[maxtedrw]

I am not sure I really understand the question about the remnant, I am perhaps not as observant as some so I must admit that all I have seen is the downloads - which I wanted to replace in my own archive / store as the correct ones. Is there something that happens with the AP installer leaving bits behind then ?

Anyway the update at AP is the same thing as the files on here so UKTS has the shorter updater as a special thingy

"These coaches do look very good, but can someone tell me if the blood and custard ones all have the BR crest? If so it is incorrect, only coming in with maroon stock I believe, although some present day charter stock may carry them."

I have just been doing a quickdrive on WLOS (Patriot + 12 Coach Blood and Custard Scarborough set) and as defaults they are logo'd, and so are logo'd on a quickdrive consist. I have had a look at the script that controls this which is rather clever and a cracking way of solving the problem of otherwise having vast numbers of near identical coaches. However, its a "have one coach design logo'd as default - have them all" sort of switch. The only other option would be to have a vast number of near identical textures and coaches that loaded every time. 10 coaches x 3 bogie options x 3 logo options x 6 colour schemes.

I've just had a look on UK Trainsim and can see the Mk1 file upload but no sign of the Mk2 upload; I'm looking under Trainsim 2013 'Newest Uploaded Files'
