Sounds Good! Tom's routes are usually very realistic too.

As Tom's MSN BETA (basically means I'm bombarded with newer versions - but I don't mind), I can say this route even runs with max detail with about 20fps minimum on a 900Mhz machine!!!

Shame it's not on BVE2 though! :cry: I can't see the difference, when I did the MHE last month, the BVE4 routefile ran in BVE2, except the rain and fog didn't work - Hmmmm??? :?: Is there something that is specific for BVE4 which I didn't include?
I wonder if Picc v5.2 will run anyway on BVE2?????

Yeah, the only problem with the old Picc route was that it required a really powerful computer to run it.

Yes, I have a mint PC, and it still take 20 mins to load the full line! And it's jumpy, I mean the train stop with sound still going, and then carries on.

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!) :D

Normally, it means new. :P.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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! :(
