Fantatsic.....I wish I could of tested the route

 

[Tom B]

The route is absolutely stunning - great atmosphere!

 

[nath9425]

The announcer is briliant...wonder where they hired he from I want him

 

[mbonwick]

Have already taken this route for a spin...absolutely BRILLIANT :wav:

All I can say is well done to everyone who worked on both the train and route.

:wav:

who is the announcer? because that makes the route feel better with an announcer

I hardly think an announcer is authentic for a short branch such as Aldwych.

Oh well done you found it....and I bet it scared you even when you had the sound down low!

I now know who it is, i've seen the readme and it's Nathan Bignell A.K.A. nath9425

 

[Tom]

Again... is the announcer really necessary?

If you dont like it I'm sure you know where the .Announce commands are and the Backspace Button

 

[Tom]

I'm well aware of that - but it's not really authentic or necessary.

 

[EmergencyBrake]

Yes

 

[Tom]

Would they do an announcement on every run on the Aldwych run in the past though!

 

[Dave A]

I agree, the announcement isn't needed and I have removed it. Great work otherwise though.

 

[nickmanl]

I'm pretty certain they would have had an announcement that they were on the end of the line, declaring all change. They do on the East London Line and pretty certain they do on the Waterloo & City now and again!

 

[LondonBVE]

Well I always crashed through the Aldwych Wall, so I am already used to it but when I first crashed into the Aldwych v2's wall and saw the message, I then wanted to stop but overshot, so I reverse and saw that tombstone with a pink flower. Also next time when you are going to die, try and crash yourself through the wall, according to the message behind the wall, you have unlimited chance to survive just turn your face and face Holborn direction.

 

[Coxster]

A very nice update to an already interesting route

 

[Guinness]

I don't think anyone cares.

 

[pedned]

I don't think anyone cares.

Well actually people do care... its a real life route (in the past)
so they want it to be as real life as possible.
After all it is a simulator...

 

[Tom B]

Why all the fuss? It's a brilliant route - if you don't like the announcements, learn what commenting out is.

 

[EmergencyBrake]

igh deeply: I'll put a randomise value for the announcements then next time, which will give a 1 in 10 chance of an announcement... happy that way?

I was happy anyway. I love the route. :thumblef:

 

[pedned]

I like it how it is,
i was just meerly pointing out to chaz that people do care.

Dont go out of your way randomising it just for a select few...
After all, all they've got to do is delete the files which contain the sounds if they dont want it.

You do go out of your way to do it though
