Hi guys,
As you know, I am making a fictioanl route for BVE2/4.2. However, I can't be bothered removing all the BVE4 stuff I've put in the routefiles so they will be compatible with BVE2. :?
I would like you to vote in a poll for whether I should make the route for BVE4.2 only or both. I am sure most of you use BVE4, and if you don't, get using it, it is SO much better than 2.

With foresight it is easy to be able to create BVE2 routefiles. Before every BVE4 command put a comment like thus:

;BVE4,.beacon 21;0;0;100,

Then just do a simple Find & Replace job in your favourite editor replacing ;BVE4, with ;BVE4 which will comment out all the BVE4 commands.

OK, I will have a look at that. Just wondered if there was much point making the route BVE2, as I don't think many people use it anymore. What do you think guys? Vote now!

I use both because of graphics card problems so BVE4 stock choice is limited. Also there are so many routes that just aren't available for BVE4 yet. Routes like Sandymill - Balfearn & Glasgow Underground.

Yeah, I agree with you there, about the Sanymill routes - they would be SO, SO good for BVE4!

*pedant* AFAIK they are CSV so could be run in BVE4. Otherwise just run them through BVE4. Change the .signal to .sigF and slap a few beacons and brightness commands in and hey presto! (OK it's a bit more complex but).

The Sandymill Loop route has been upgraded to BVE4 and has had another upgrade for BVE2. You can find it at http://ferrovipathe.free.fr
Hope this helps.

Can you explain that a little, and I might be able to help!

Both - especially for me, my laptop is unable to run BVE4 trains or routes without fuzzing it up completely.

Thanks very much BVEinEssex. That is a website that has been kept quiet. Its such a great route, first one i drove when i started BVE, so I'm very faithful to it.

Not at all, Chris. The developer normally posts news at the Train-Sim.com forum: http://forums.flightsim.com/ts/dcboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=16
Thanks
