I have copied the siglight.ace file over, overwriting the other one, but the lights still seem to be huge!

I have been holding back on my activities until getting hold of the 'public version' of the route so expect to see some from me later this month

Hi

I downloaded it last night, re-installed the v0.9 route, ran install-me.bat, and installed v1.1. It all worked straight out of the box for me.

Good work

Hi Rich,

I have a problem with a missing Road2LStrt5m.s file, I get errors saying this file could not be loaded whilst loading the route, and also around swaythling stn.

Many Thanks
Graham

Do you think you could post a screenshot so i can see how big? If you find them too big just edit the radii in the sigcfg file to something smaller or untill they look better.

Graham,

The shape files you have listed were included in the route, along with the textures. It is likely that you have miss placed them, and they are in the wrong folder, probably something to do with your extractor.
If you go into the L-S ROUTE folder, and then SHAPES, scroll through and see if they are there. If not, then copy and paste them from the zip file (move to temp location first, then copy and paste). That should work. If not, i'm stuck!!

Cheers

Thanks Rich,
I carefully checked all the zip files and couldn't find them, However, I have found the solution in the new roads file listed above and also the Magnetic Platform Kit number 2 i think, it's the "White" one.

I found also downloading those files satisfied route riter and stops errors on loading.

At this moment i am installing the whole thing myself to test it, and make sure it all works (which clearly it does not

)

Graham, have you got my email, you may find it useful

(as will I

)

Cheers

trains2 · Post by **trains2** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 5:26 pm

I am pleased to report that the 'test' worked with success bar two things:

1) I forgot to run the install.me bat file

2) (More seriously) The SigLight file may not overwrite, and so a manual delete the origional and replace with the new may be necessary.

Other than that it worked fine, and so as long as you have what you need (described in v0.9) you should be fine.

File 2 has yet again been edited to remove the errors posted above by Graham K. It will be uploaded.....well now

Cheers, and please be patient!

Hi Martin,

Ensure you have installed the UK Finescale Track System, which is available from the UKTS homepage under "quick picks" also make sure you have it updated, with all packs.

Also try downloading the new roads 3.2 listed earlier in this thread, and then also try downloading the Magnetic Platform Kit 1 & 2 fro the UKTS libraries, if you haven't already.

Hope this is some help
Graham

is it possible to bring out the whole roue and patch on 1 cd and sell it on uktrainsim?beacause i couldnt get it to work so i wouldnt mind using it on cd with all the stock and acticities to.I'll pay a tenner to anyone who can do that for me

thenudehamster · Post by **thenudehamster** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 7:57 pm

Martin,

make sure your UKFS install is v3.15. those missing track shapoes are all ukfs shapes, mostly 3rd rail Interworking Straights, but there are a couple of curves (one of them looks an odd name) which were issued in the last v.3.15 update.

The roads are all NewRoads shapes, I believe. Make sure you have the latest.
Magnetic Platforms are listed as roads, but the shape files are named as platforms.

You might try reloading UKFS and NewRoads. then reinstall the route.
