I don't have that much patience

A mint PC?

Yes that is a Northern Expression

I think anyone who lives south of Birmingham won't know what it means!

Let's not tell either, eh Jordy?

26th July 2005, 16:52

Oh, a new PC?

Rich · 26th July 2005, 16:55

Well, sort of. It means, in Northern terms, to be great, or excellent.
Just like sick, in Northern terms means great, or excellent (well it does in Manchester anyway!)

26th July 2005, 16:56

Normally, it means new.

.

A great/excellent PC doesn't mean its a good PC!

Rich · 26th July 2005, 17:02

Well, it's not the best, but it's only two years old, and was the top of the range then, so I can't be that bad.

It has big storage and stuff, and big ram (not sure how much, so don't ask!)

26th July 2005, 17:03

So does mine, but it's still rubbish!

The old one - yes. The new one - no.

Since you don't have this BETA version, who are you to say?
How do I know you don't have this version? Simply because it doesn't take that long to load - even on a 900Mhz PC and you say you have a 'mint' one! Please do not lie - it's not good for you.

He means the old Piccadilly line

I'm not lying!

I have a decent PC, which loads the Piccadilly Line v4 in around 20mins, which is quite a long time for BVE route nowerdays. I don't have route you are testing, just the Picc v4, and the Picc v5 demo (Earls Court to King's Cross) which loads fine.

26th July 2005, 18:01

v4 loads in about 2 minutes on BVE4 on this rubbish 950MHz PC!

At no point did you mention v4, nor did you imply it was v4 you were on about.

Rich · 26th July 2005, 18:09

Oh, sorry! I didn't did I!

Sorry if I missled you.
And TC, My PC, althogh it's decent, it often has slow paches! It's fine on minute, and the next it crashes, and goes dead slow. It must be me!

Ah well, I just leave it to load, and go and get a drink!

The main component is the graphics card. On my Laptop which is P4, 2.4Ghz, 512RAM, 40GB, intel graphics, the average framerate in Bve 4 is around 7fps.

But on my old back up PC which is P2, 350Mhz, 300 & something Ram, 6GB, but has a 16 MB graphics card, the average framerate in Bve 4 is around 15fps.

But I agree that all the Piccadilly Lines V4 & below on both of my computers do take along time to load!
