Reliable rumour states that we should expect it within the next week/couple of weeks. It has, apparantly, been finished and awaiting upload. The message on the Bakerloo page has changed from "postponed due to other commitments" to "Coming very soon.". |

Sorry for the brief post was half way through a fight night boxing match.
Anyway, I recall someone on railuk saying the sounds wern't very good, only thing I can base the HST on is them doing full power out of York while you stand at the Café Ritazza and have your ear drums blown out. I will have to try it on some 'real' sound tomorrow. hehehe *rubs hands*
The HST however has an anticlimax once you get to 125mph, you bring it back to control and the engines just well..fade into the background.
And let's topic hop yet again. I was looking at train driver option on Kudos (job choosing program) there was a nice chappy setting up the HST for use and when he went into the engine part (dont ask me how) I swear the machines in there were twice the size of him, it was like a snapshot of a victorian mill they were that big.
But yeah, HST mega success in my eyes.

Sam could be right -I'm not sure. Brilliant pickup and sounds etc., but are the brakes REALLY that good? It seems to pull up far too quickly when you've made a mistake!!  |

The speedo on 90mph and 100mph is a bit high it says Exceeded Speed limit when needle is a few milimeters down.

Sam Would be helpful to the developers if you could list these inaccuracies either here or via PM so as they could be rectified, bearing in mind there a few we know of but can't do anything about due to the limitations of BVE itself. Ta. |

This was on RailUK which should take care of any small inacuracies. (Like failing to spell the damn word!!)
Does anyone else find that it gets a bit jerky at times?

Yep i'd agree with the three listed in that posting. Another problem is the fact that you can't open up the throttle with the brake on, although this may be a problem with BVE?

Taa Sam BVE limitation - you can't open the throtle while the brake is on. Can't wait for the Northern Lights run on Edinburgh-Aberdeen route. |

Taa Sam Yeah, this is a limitation of BVE itself. Pity as you can't do hill starts properly. The other faults have been duely noted and are being worked on. Including some other consist varients. |

Well no, but it would be nice!
It's not nescessary to rev up the HSTs standing with brakes on, a lot of drivers don't and it can mean a smoother start as the amps pick up, providing you are not on a gradient. All trains are affected by this on BVE.
