Just Trains V2

[black8]

Further to the blacked out windows of the Gresley coaches in the 'Progres, what progress?' scenario, I just received a response from Just Trains that these coaches do not have a passenger outside view and are therefore 'blacked out'. Anyway, just to let you know that this is no bug that will be corrected but is as intended by JT. No passenger outside view in these (Matrix) coaches is a bit strange imo but who knows JT will decide to add this in some future update.

There must have been a misunderstanding somewhere along the line because the windows are definitely not deliberately blacked out, and it is a bug that will be fixed in due course. Very sorry for the confusion.

Kind regards,

That is what I expected Chris, but this is the answer that I got from JT:

"These coaches do not include a passenger view so you will not be able to see out I'm afraid".

No indication whatsoever that it is a bug that will be fixed but I am glad that it will be. It is a small issue that by no means spoils the V2 package as a whole.

Best regards, Jos

Thoroughly enjoying the V2 @ v102 now; Intermediate mode seems pretty ok nice quick fix there, Thanks! - I do have a problem with the Elizabethan scenario on the Weardale Teesdale route, which throws up a consist error on loading - has anyone else experienced this?

No isssues for me either,I'd suggest loading into scenario editor,changing something (such as moving the scenario icon slightly) and resaving,that should fix,though I must reiterate this isn't a bug with the V2,it's a TS bug that for some reason I have also noticed on other addons recently.

Alright for me too.

Hi Guys,
I have tried the carriages mentioned in a free roam with a different loco and still had the same blacked out windows. I have sent a detailed message to Just trains and this is the total message sent."These coaches do not include a passenger view so it is not surprising". Seems to be some crossed wires at JT. Hopefully Chris may figure this out.
Regards...Phill

Yes Phil, I had a similar response from JT (see my recent posts). Fortunately Chris Barnes has since sent a clearer message.
Cheers, Jos

I see that version 1.02 is available, anyone know what the changes are ?

Just realised that I didn't get the V2...

It came out just as I boxed up the PC for a house move, then had no internet, no computer, loads of boxes everywhere for 6ish months...!

Is the V2 worth a punt? Presumably its on a par with the 4, 5, 7MT etc???

Hi rkk01,
I just got the V2 as an early X-Mas present from the War Department and can say I'm delighted with it. It's a large pack with many LNER and BR liveries, Matrix Trains teaks, 14 scenarios (if you have the routes, of course) Mk1s in many liveries. Also included are the 4, 5 and A4 as AI only.

Well worth it just to see Green Arrow on the rails, if only on our PCs.

Well, that's the sort of idea that had occurred to me

[passedcleaner]

If you want to experience the V2 at its best, try hauling a 50 wagon fitted freight over the Port Road. It might not be a prototypical route, but boy can this engine slog away on long gradients

Probably the most immersive TS steam experience to date.

Hi Has the Front coupler been fixed on the V2 especially Green Arrow,as this has been a problem since it's release,also do the sanders work on this loco

Ok Thanks

I could not get the front coupler to engage after repeated attempts, though I could make a consist with stock coupled to the front. Sort of like the 57xx Riviera in the 50s issue.

I did get the sanders to function, but I had to do it from inside the cab. There's a lever right against the left cab wall for backwards sanding and a valve on the backhead for steam sanding. The cylinder cocks also had to be worked from inside the cab.

I have the same issue
