District Line Route Beta1 kit uploaded

It might, also, be the lack of Newroads?

You can lead a luser to clue, but you can't make him think.

I kept getting the incredibly informative message "Train world initialization failed". This was actually caused by having the "Textured skies" option turned off in advanced graphics options.

glasgowdriver - some of the area (Earls Court - Turnham Green i think, but probably wrong) has no scenery. It is just tracks and grass!

Unless I need to fiddle with my settings too...

I downloaded the route - and after a few problems getting it to work (it's not a 'man' thing to read the README! ). Got it working.

Looks stunning in the completed areas. I also very much like the senario's in the activities, makes for a more interesting ride.

Can't wait for the completed route - this route made me sign up for the UKTS subscription, well worth every penny IMHO on it's own.

Thanks to everyone who was involved in creating such a good route.

Sorry to speak for you Jimi but Jimi gauged the platforms on the length of the CO/CP stock 3 years ago, the D-stock is longer than this, there are plans to extend the platforms.

Well on the strength of what I saw in here over christmas, I decided to give BVE as rest for a bit, and I went out and got MSTS (brand new copy for only a fiver !). After messing about with that for a day or two I downloaded all the bits and pieces I needed (the mirror site for this is good speedwise Dr Jimi ).

Had a couple of problems with the 73 refurb consists files but a quick check on another forum somewheres revealed what was wrong and some quick copying over of files and away it went.

Very Impressive Dr Jimi..... I too like the tutorials and the scenarios, and the detail of the scenery and the AI movements is brilliant (even running on my laptop).

Great job, and I hope you and your band of advisors/helpers carry on and get it finished one day.


frimm

Just catching up on all this....

Firstly, it's been a pleasure to give a little help to Jimi on all this and I think the results are stunning - albeit I still haven't had a chance to do the final version!

But - as alluded to by T/Op D78 V125 got their commentary wrong! The first thing I pointed out to Peter Middleton was the error in the commentary about Richmond box; his reply went something like 'b*gger'!

One day I'll tell the story of that filming........

Yes! That'd make an interesting 'sideline' to the V125 version!!!

How well timed RC's narration/comments were about being on time as you enter Errols Court!

Well, all I will say is that despite the planning that had gone into it all, the railway conspired to make it a nightmare. Though I haven't looked at the recording for a while I seem to recall cab shots of me looking at my watch and I *think* we were already about 15 mins down - and it was a bloody hot day - and the film kit started overheating.

Maybe that gives a hint?

I have a feeling that when the discussions were started V125 knew of my association with the DR, and when the matter came to the level of actual production it seemed that it was a natural step to pass it to me.....

No - in fairness - the day was great fun, but despite the planning it turned out to be long, hot and very tiring; you have no idea how much kit is used!!! Just trying to get it all on and off is a challenge - let alone setting it up all within timetable slots!

Please tell us the full story, Dave.
