Hello, could I make the 323 driveable by putting a 325/365 cab in it?
Yes, I’m also happy for you to upload that modification as long as you do not charge money for it.
Any plans to add the Ordsall Chord or Manchester Airport (That would be Amazing) in the future?
There are currently no plans for any further extensions to this route.
none of the AI trains in scenarios are not moving
Do you own all the requirements for the route and the scenario you are trying to run?
yes have all requirements for route
Sorry, I don’t know what would cause your issue.
The Route is great. The only issue im having is that the dispatcher cant path AI into Piccadilly from the East line for some reason. Any ideas?
Please could you provide more detail? Up or Down East into which platform number.
Sorry, didn’t realise you responded. Its occuring trying to go from either east line into any platform
I have just tested and the dispatcher is able to path from Ardwick P1 & 2 into all platforms at Piccadilly. The only thing I can think of is that you are using an older version of the signals, what is the latest Just Trains route that you own?
Turns out you don’t get notified if some one reponds so sorry i haven’t responded. do you mean what was the last i bought? in which case its Western mainlines
That’s a fairly old route, it’s possible some of the signal scripts have been changed since it was released.
what is this under for quick drive scenarios
It is under Manchester Stations to Huddersfield.
Is there any prospect of getting this to work with if made, or be expanded to include, the line from Guide Bridge to Glossop and Hadfield?
I have no plans to make the line to Glossop & Hadfield, I think it would be boring as there are not a lot of scenario possibilities.
How do I download and Install please. I am new to this.
It shows me that you have downloaded the route, let me know if you still need help with this.
This is great work PenninePacer, I love it! I seem to be missing all signals though, do I need the JT common library to get this? I don’t own any JT routes. I also don’t have the woodhead in BR blue route, what do I need this for?
Also, do you plan on adding the Ordsall Chord onto this route and have any plans to create the Huddersfield to Leeds section of the TransPennine route?
The signals are from the JT Common Library. OHLE, houses & factories are from the Woodhead BR Blue route. There are currently no plans for any further extensions to this route.
Fantastic route! Fair play to you PenninePacer! Enjoyable, good amount of length and stunning scenery and assets used! Especially the baking models haha! Keep it up and hope to see more extensions to this route from ya! Love this route as well, I especially love switching from liverpool to manchester to continue on the route from say Liverpool to manchester piccadilly then switch over to this route to carry on to huddersfield!
Can anyone do a sound mod for the 323?
Anyone can do a sound mod as long as they distribute it for free.
I’ve just tried playing your route which is great but scenario 3Z68 is broken please fix this please one AI is set to go a portal that doesn’t exist
3Z68 & several other scenarios were from a previous version of the route and included in error. If you don’t wish to see these I suggest deleting the route and re-downloading V1.01 of the route.
is there anyway to find the 323s on the train simulator game because i don’t have it
The 323 is AI only, make sure you tick PenninePacer->SYB_MCV & DTG->BedPanLine when creating your scenario.
So i have to copy SYB_MCV into the BedPanLine?
Not sure if i have done something wrong but the entire roof at huddersfield is missing. i claim to have done the free packs and i have all the payware you mention but i have lights hanging from nowhere lol. any help appreciated.
Are you sure you have downloaded the right route? It shows me that you have not downloaded Manchester Stations to Huddersfield, you may have Manchester Victoria – Huddersfield instead. In this version of the route the lights and roof at Huddersfield are all part of one model so it doesn’t make sense that you would only have the lights.
yes I think your right I downloaded man vic to hudds. should i get the man stations to hudds instead ? is this just the same route but newer ? many thanks for the swift reply. should i remove man vic first before putting man stations in ?
regards
Pete
Manchester Stations to Huddersfield is the same route but newer, along with 9 miles of new track from Deansgate to Stalybridge via Guide Bridge. You can have both routes installed at the same time as they install to seperate folders, due to the fact that scenarios are not compatiable between the 2 routes.
Many thanks for the support PenninePacer and congratulations on such a wonderfull route. think i will remove to older one as i dont want hudds without its roof..
regards
Pete
Wow. Just. Wow.
Fantastic route, and the Commonwealth Games scenario is superb.
Thank you.
(Just two signals missing from the HUD – Between Mossley and Stalybridge and at Ashburys Station. Kept me on my toes as they were yellows.)
The signal between Mossley & Stalybridge is a repeater that is not meant to show on the HUD. I’m aware of the missing signal at Ashburys, I replaced the signal and moved the links but it had no effect, so I don’t know how to fix it.
Really is a beautiful route, massive well done.
However, I’m seeing a few missing assets and I’m stuck on how to fix it. Missing some Station posts (on/off boards mainly, the board is there but post isn’t), the signals east of stalybridge has the gantry, signals themselves but they’re floating. Also missing some ground scenery meaning some floating garden fences and grass verges, and finally some large buildings such as Universal square at Ardwick and the main building at Guide Bridge. I’ve got all requirements, reinstalled JT routes aswell as the UKTS packs, so not sure what else I could try?
It sounds like you don’t have the latest version of the JT Common Library. The most up to date JT route I own is the Metropolitan Line. It might be worth re-downloading the latest JT route you own to see if it comes with an updated Common Library.
