[tubenutter]

excellent, i'll download it now.

thanks

 

[dennis63uk]

Just downloaded and installed it. Tried on NWM route. Is really excellent many thanks.

 

[eifion]

Went straight to BRR and swapped it for The Voyager on the 0700 Maybank - Hammerwich.
Rode like a dream.
Just like going along on A Carpet of Air.
Going back now for another go.
Regards. Eifion.:-P

Its good on the 14:00 to Hammerwich with only 1 stop at Riverside however a piece of advice stop at riverside until you get a green aspect then you should get a pritty clear run though to hammerwich!

Went straight to BRR and swapped it for The Voyager on the 0700 Maybank - Hammerwich.

Exactly what I did I wanted to try it out on a run with a couple of stops, as well as ride the yellows for a while meaning lots of accelerating and braking

 

[devon_metro]

I might replace my HST that has replaced a unit on the 0937 Maybank-Hammerwich with 5 stops until Hammerwich. I love the acceleration rate!

 

[Turbostar]

Cracking train! Maybe I'm a bit dumb, but one question, where & what do I change for where you stop at stations, so that you stop at the 'S' sign please?

Mart

 

[dennis63uk]

You stop at (4) instead of (S) as i tried the run a few times. As it is a 4 coach train.

 

[Turbostar]

??? A Pendolino is a 9-car unit, hence why I would like to know how to change what I asked above. :roll: Many thanks.

Mart

 

[dennis63uk]

Never seen in real life yet a 9 carriage Pendo. As i live not far from Manchester Piccadilly and mostly get 4 carriage units going in there.

 

[Turbostar]

Eh??? Wot u on??? A Pendo is a 9-car unit. A Voyager is a 4-car unit, Super Voyager a 5-car. Thought this was gonna be easy! :roll:

Mart

 

[Mintona]

Martin, BVE still thinks your driving a Voyager, so you still stop at 4 car stops.
So I did it on the HST routes, though I'm sure there's a way of changing it in the coding, though I don't know it.

The released train is the latter.

Before editing any route file, back it up first in case it all goes horribly wrong.

To change the stopping points, open up the route file and move (best to cut and paste to prevent accidental duplication) the stop commands to wherever you want to put them, presumably in line with the S-car stop signs.

If you are not familiar with editing BVE routes, this is the sort of thing you will need to move...


53187,
.Freeobj 0;383;-6;0.3,
.Stop 0;25;25,


just the bit in bold and take care with the syntax, all commands are separated by ,.

BTW, in the example shown, you are allowed + or -25m leeway each side of the nominal stopping point; for a more challenging drive, try reducing this by altering the 25's to say 10.

 

[nutter]

Is anyone else having trouble getting onto TSC. It's the only URL which ain't working for me, just typical it's the only one i really want :roll:

 

[Craig]

The site seems to have slowed down quite a bit this evening. The Pendolino download is 19mb so the sites bandwidth is probably taking a hammering.


I've just given it a run on one of the NWM night runs, very impressive! I'm off to take it for a spin on a day express route now.

 

[Tom]

AFAIK Craig the 390 download itself was on tsc.railuk.org - which is on this server... it was certainly taking a battering earlier today.

 

[nutter]

Just to let you all know, I've just been able to download the pendo, so it all seems to be up and running.

Still yet to run it though, thought i'd tell you all it's working cos I don't think I'll be here again tonight

 

[LondonBVE]

Great Train espically with the BRR Tilting feature, I downloaded the Pendo in just 1min 35 sec with a speed of average 127KB/s. Maybe because I download the train at 9:37am which I suppose everyone is in school.

 

[voyagerdude220]

This really was worth waiting for, many thanks to the people/person who created this train, it definately is a great train to drive.

 

[thefab444]

Pendolinos were originally 8 carriages, but are now 9. You're think of Voyagers.

A Voyager is a 4-car unit, Super Voyager a 5-car

To be picky, there are 4-car Super Voyagers, but only four.

 

[mbonwick]

Looks absolutely fabulous! Well done to all :thumbup:

 

[devon_metro]

Or if you don't want to change the route file just open the doors yourself...

 

[nath9425]

Just incase you hadn't realised it is "Our" Half term! Good news for us!

 

[Derek Kaye]

Downloaded fine here.. averaged at 477kB/s. will try it out later

 

[ChrisM]

Just downloaded it and had a little try certainly worth the wait.
I swapped it for the 23:00 Maybank to Hammerwich and replaced the HST.
Well done to all involved.

 

[Bastiaan]

Thanks for this wonderful train!

I did that one too, managed to be a few mins early into Hammerwich so was well happy!
Just was a few mins early on the 1400 HST to Hammerwich too! Gonna attempt a commuter run to Hobbs Cross now!

 

[Bastiaan]

I drove it on the 17:36 Maybank - Hammerwich (originally with a 321). It accelerates and brakes perfectly. Concerning to the 4-car thingy: Just pretent you drive a 4-car Pendolino
