I'm sorry if I missed this, but will Exeter be a Gold (Price &36) or Platinum (Price &45) simulation? Or perhaps a different price? The four screens on the...
... Definitely Platinum! It's taken the best part of a year to code, not counting research, and over 2 months just to test. Best wishes, Tim Bourne (SIAM)...
That sounds like a cry from the heart :-) You didn't say which Bank Holiday though, so I suppose the answer has to be "yes". Perhaps Tim will tell us which...
Just to make sure you all know there is an update available from our Support page. There are a few minor corrections, mostly detecting unforeseen errors. The...
Tim thanks for this: will download: quick update on current game status DML1 excellent, but need to knack of stopping quicker RG54 excellent if hard PZ55 - run...
Paul For Aller Junction (and for all the signal box sims in fact) you need to follow a set procedure. Once you have received and acknowledged the bells from...
I don't know if this is a bug or me (more likely). Anyway I can't get the 0910 Abbey Yard to Up Yard into the Up Yard. Having reversed down the Leicester...
Hello Tim If it is not too much of a problem, could we have the useful "Esc + S" function that was incorporated into CL57 added to EX55 at some point, please?...
I don't know if this is a bug or me (more likely). Anyway I can't get the 0910 Abbey Yard to Up Yard into the Up Yard. Having reversed down the Leicester...
... If the version you have is dated earlier than 27/11/97, you need an update. ... The trains respond to the signals. You set the signals, the train moves...
Exeter 55 is a very interesting simulation, but also a frustrating one, because you can lose so many points on the GW line without a chance to do anything...
... That one was Brian's, and to be honest I don't know quite what he did! There are lots of ways to make a simulation pause: click on a blank part of the...
... Tim, It enables one to go around all of the screens adn put in movements - the time doesn't chnage until the next time you click on the advance time...
So far as I am concerned the Time Stop feature is what made CL57 possible. If nothing else it saves wear and tear on the Space Bar. I generally go round the...
Has anyone managed to successfully run Carlisle under dosbax? I find that it will not complete loading. Any tips [apart from try another sim/computer!!!!]...
I don't know how many CPU you allocate to SIAM normally but I run mine at 3000. For Carlisle though I cranked this all the way up to 20k and full screen it...
It's clear that a project the size of Exeter 1955 is close to, or perhaps beyond, the limit of what can be done by one person in a reasonable time. The point...
Personally would like to see something in a different area. Feel the West country has had its fair share of simulations with Exeter, Newton Abbot, Plymouth and...
Personally, I would like to see Nottingham early 1970's. I guess a waterloo or Clapham junction (any era) would be too hard.. A protoype crossrail 2000 might...
Paul, I'm not too sure what you mean by, "the look and feel changes considerably with various versions of the same stations (eg reading 72/54)." The example...
Tim, How about something Welsh for a change? Somewhere like Cardiff General or the wider Cardiff area in steam days would probably be a "major" project...
... Thanks for this info, Tim I think the main need for any simulation is research. Thus, any project that has not been adequately researched has no real ...
