So if you want this one, better pick up the DTG version in the sale, if possible!

Re: Return of the Backdated North London Line
I misread the FB post in the week and thought I needed all of those routes for the DTG AP Station Pack, but it seems I only need to have one which I have so I should be ok. I have been following updates on FB for months now. Cant waitxguerra wrote:If you're not on Facebook then you might not have known about this.
Yours truly has been working since the DTG North London Line's release to make a version backdated to the 1980s, or there abouts.
As it's currently under testing, I'd thought I'd share a few photos.
See more at:
https://www.facebook.com/nll1980s/
Requirements:
· DTG North London Line Add-on (Steam)
· DTG London—Brighton Add-on (Steam)

Re: Return of the Backdated North London Line
I am pleased to be able to share four shots during testing from my beta-tester, James (billythepet123).








Re: Return of the Backdated North London Line
Those shots are absolutely stunning, the last two could pass as photographs

Re: Return of the Backdated North London Line
Xavier, I haven't got Pietmaritzburg to Ladysmith, nor, the Zombies add-on, neither of these have any appeal to me personally, have you used much content from these 2 offerings please?

Hi Steve, he has only used the apstation pack which is available with ANY of the routes in that box - you don't need all of them!

Re: Return of the Backdated North London Line
Yep only need one of those routes that contain the AP Station Pack.
I've tried to make the route as low on DLC as possible.

Re: Return of the Backdated North London Line
Today's the day! And you can now download the route from the link below!
BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD! PLEASE READ!
The installer has a built-in function for checking whether all the requirements have been installed. It will display a message when you select your installation directory saying "Error. Required file missing." if you haven't installed one of the requirements. If you're absolutely sure you have all the requirements, and this message still appears, please let me know and I will try to help resolve the issue.
Have fun!

Hi Xavier, Smartscreen has blocked the download as an unsafe download - don't know why.

Re: Return of the Backdated North London Line
Hmm, the filter probably does that because the file hasn't been downloaded until now. Are you able to allow the file through?markpullinger wrote:Hi Xavier, Smartscreen has blocked the download as an unsafe download - don't know why.
I could stick it inside a .zip file but it isn't really necessary.

Re: Return of the Backdated North London Line
I only came across your new version of the NLL a few days ago.
The download worked faultlessly, fired up with no problem and I've just started out from Broad Street.
BRILLIANT!!!!
Takes me back years and I can't wait to explore the route in detail.
Thank you, so very much.
