maybe if L-S will be released on cd like just what NeutronIC did for Scottish Central ?

As has been said many many times before, when the route is finished it will be sold on CD via UKTS - when it is finished!

Thanks for your advise but dont that make this a very large Route?
I make it 10 dowmloads is it worth it? Also how many activities are involved?
Thank you for your advise.

There are 2 downloads, the self installers. It's not large, there is a tiny bit of scenery in the South Western section. There are quite a few activities avaliable for download.

Dont forget the installme.bat
I just installed the route....in 3 mins....from the 2 self installers...and it ran first time...no probs....didn't even stop to build terrain buffers.

You do need the sig patch...as the sigcfg.dat file is set to radius 1.4

Still not a bad install

The kind gents who posted above are right....................and wrong

You need all the things posted above for it to work, and just the two Self-installers, however the SigLight.dat file is included in the patch, and should work. However sometimes it does not and a manual delete, copy and paste is necessary for it to work.

Joe, in future when posting the file links just post the Self-installers as posting the other 7 is very confusing!

Hi Rich
Its the "siglight.ace" that needs changing...to match the size of increased radius in the sigcfg.dat file (that I believe Jonathan included by accident)
However once installed it does work...because you can see them a mile off.

Lol yes thats what i meant the .ace not the .dat. I forgot when i first released the patch to include it as i had installed it a long time b4 i released the patch and so forgot all about it! Everyone had big lollypop signals!!

But as i say it has been included, it just doesnt sometimes overwrite, dunno why. I love the signals now, can drive it with Track Monitor off, much more realistic! (Not that i have anytime to drive it whilst im doing v1.2 )

Look what i found.....

I think ive found my opposite. I didn't know about this for Trainz, anyone else? Looks rather good

General route update: scenery is still continuing well, Maritime is now looking like Maritime , and i have also corrected the exit to Southampton tunnel (east), as it is a 'S' curve, whereas before it was just straight. This also therefore means the 25mph curve is now 'proper tight', although there is no 'Check Rail' due to UKFS 3rd Rail track section limitations

Screenshots to arrive when E-Rail Gallery is available for use properly, which shouldn't be too long.

just noticed that MTs desiro is now avalible for download, becasue i am useless at making activitys, i was wondering if anyone is going to make an activity for this route, one small request, woking to eastleigh(branch to portsmouth harbour,) and eastleigh(branch to portsmouth harbour,) to woking? please please

[trains2]

A few shots i have taken with the MT SWT Desiro on home soil during a real thunderstorm this afternoon, well, i had to match it didnt i!

Eastleigh


Eastleigh


St. Denys


Southampton Central


Maritime


Progress:

Things remain slow at the moment as it is a tweaking-the-track business, trying to get rid of any cinks or correcting incorrect layouts, such as Eastleigh. A bit of scenery is stil being done, but nothing substantial enough to show, yet....

Expect more soon.

Cheers

when traveling form london waterloo to clapham junction the tracks Disappear after i pass the station am i missing anything.

using london to southampton v1.1.

thanks for any help.

[trains2]

Do you have a screenshot? And do you get any error messages at all, or does the track just disappear? It may be something to do with the UKFS track manage, you may nee to update perhaps.

Cheers
