Glad to see someone finally doing the class 458. I got the sounds for this unit but have not really got time to get around to program the panel. The panel of the 458 is unique form other units, with the speedo above the brake meter.

That 458 drives very nicely, v. controlloble. I think the motor whine helps, you don't have to at look what you're doing, to know what you're doing!Just a thought, that whine wouldn't be out of place on the 421? (which currently makes very little noise) - Update anyone?Ramsbury is a v. nice little route too, tis good to have the variety and choice, thank you - to all concerned.

cl458 is perfect, but in a new version of Ramsbury is the same problem as in version 1 with red light before entering the terminal station !!! What about some "red light patch" as in previous version? Or anybody hasn't this problem??

>as in previous version? Or anybody hasn't this problem?? Which route file is that? I have the same fix in this one as in the first release, which sorted the problem. Just make sure that the 2 .pretrain commands after the final station both have times after the arrival time for your train. Also, how long have you waited at the light, if you are early then you may have to wait.Cheers

RE: Ramsbury Route update & Class 458-jop

You also need to change the final station command to this:.sta Whelford;15.3300;T;0;-1;0;;,,,,,,,,,,, (semi-fast)
.sta Whelford;11.1900;T;0;-1;0;;,,,,,,,,,, (slow)The 0 after the -1 (6th parameter) sets the station signal to green. Originally this was set to 1, which is red. If set to red at the station, I find that last signal before the station never clears. You can then play around with the last two pretrain lines, changing the times if you want a shorter delay (use an earlier time). I used 33400,.sig -4;W100;0;7.4;1,.pretrain 15.3100,
34440,.sig -4;W101;0;7.4;1,.Pretrain 15.3430,for the semi-fast line and36650,.sig -4;W100;0;7.4;1,.pretrain 11.1730,,,,,,,,,,,,,
37650,.sig -4;W101;0;7.4;1,.Pretrain 11.2150,,,,,,,,,,,,,for the slow line.If you leave Radcot on time, these give a short delay at the last signal. Even with no delay at all, you will be hard pressed to get to Whelford on time, unless you ignore speed limits.I think I may have also changed the waiting time at Radcot, as it looked to me as though a ";" was missing from the station command parameters. For reference, here is the .sta command syntax, taken from the CSV command help document. The station wait time is parameter 9..Sta x1;x2;x3;x4;x5;x6;x7;x8;x9;x10;x11, Places a station.
x1=Station Name
x2=Arrival time in HH.MMSS
x3=Departure time in HH.MMSS
x4=Pass alarm. 1 will alert the driver when he or she has passed a station he or she was supposed to stop at and 0 will disable the alert. Can be left blank.
x5=Sets which side of the track the platform sits on. (-1 for left, 1 for right)
x6=Sets a signal at the station. 0 will show green, 1 will show red until the train is near the stop marker or there is 23 seconds to departure.
x7=Can be used to activate a safety system, or left blank. 0 will activate ATS, 1 will activate ATC.
x8=Plays a sound when arriving at the station (after the doors open). Format: Directory\x.wav. Default directory is BVE\Railway\Sound.
x9=Minimum stop time in seconds. This will only come into play if the stop is longer than that specified by the arrival and departures or if the train is running late.
x10=Determines how full the train will be upon departure from this station. Use 0 for empty and 250 for full. 0-100 is best because a more full train (150+) means the passengers are unhappy to begin with and thusly make a very hard job for the driver.
x11=Sound to play before doors close to depart. Format same as above.

RE: Ramsbury Route update & Class 458-jop

HiSorry about that, I didn't notice it before I released the route. The attachment here is the route files with the changes suggested by Nigel B (Cheers ).There should now only be a small wait at the final set of signals.Cheers

That is "slow" route (2nd) with cl458 train. I have waited more than 5 minutes - I couldn't keep timetable, so I decided to go and message about red signal break appeared.
