[TrainSim] Summer Sale

Just a heads up that the summer sale at Steam has started with most TS2012 addons at 50% discount. http://store.steampowered.com/publis...lSimulator.com

I can't get on there at the moment (server is busy... something along those lines), does anyone know if London to Brighton is discounted?

Also of note is this http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comme...ams_big_sales/ which is worth a read about Steam sales

Thanks for that. Mind defo made up on that one then! Will 'sneak up' on steam and go on there early tomorrow morning before work, get it downloading for when I come back

This is soooo annoying! I've only just bought a load of add-ons, and the main game itself!

Oh that really is annoying, well, if there's anything you pondered about and didn't get now is your chance I guess.

On a sidenote, does anyone know how to move the 150/2. The brakes don't seem to release, nor do I get any power when I put the accelerator to 700 (yes it comes up as 700!)%?

Yeah I did. Today I picked up the 390+WCML North+HST Buffer Pack+UK LED Signal Pack package, the Settle to Carlisle package and the Portsmouth+4VEP package.

So just a couple of things to keep you busy then?

Once you've played them, I'd be interested in your opinions on those routes - none of which I've got. Was going to buy one at full price, will now buy two (already done Brighton - Vic), once of which will be the above.

If you haven't already got it, I really recomend Bristol to Exeter. A great route, and those guys at Just Trains are fantastic IMO.

Just a few.

I'd already purchased the Northeast Corridor, Acela Express and the London to Brighton+4CIG add ons.

I haven't really got anything to compare them with. The last train sim I played was MSTS.

I already got Scottish East Coast Mainline package from them.

Easy when you know how.

You need to put the master key in and set it, move the reverser to forward, reset the AWS and then you can release the brakes and give it power.

I would advise reading the digital manual it comes with, as it explains all the extra controls

P.S. Don't forget the lights, destination blinds and its light too

Harbon 1 · 13th July 2012, 22:03

I've put a limit of £20 to spend and will be digging in on monday night with a list of additions

And just when I was thinking of saving up

Thanks for that. I sort of stumbled my way through it in the end. At first I was going nowhere!

Do you have to do something with the DRA too? I did when I got it moving, although I'm now not sure whether you need to.

How do you get into the digital manuals for the DLC btw?

cheers

matt · 14th July 2012, 09:47

All manuals will be in your Railworks folder somewhere like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Manuals\EN

Just make sure the DRA button isn't lit then you are free to move away

The location of the manuals are where Matt said.

Crossover · 14th July 2012, 15:09

Sorry, yes, you must also turn the DRA off as well! (letter 'Y' if I remember correctly)

As matt said for the manuals, though remember, if you don't have a 64 bit operating system, then look for the Program Files folder that isn't appended by anything else (if you have a 32 bit OS, it will be the only Program Files folder)
