Full Version: template request for Dorsetv3
Skyline User's Forum > > Templates

I can't count all the sidings and the intricate track layout is wild. I would request it to be done with FREEWARE stock.

The route is free from train-sim - it's right around London and I realize there are many passenger possibilities, the possibilities would be immense for freight activities or whatever else as well. All I've found so far is ONE passenger activity for this amazing route - what a waste. sad.gif

Try this route out - one heck of a maze of track.

Hello BB,

I have downloaded the first two of the four files of the Dorset Coast v3 and was able to load the TDB file. Unfortunately, I have found that there are marked sidings but have no length. That means that we cannot put any markers in any of the sidings to build a template.

Hello again,

I have also checked the TDB files for the for v4 and v5 updates and end up with the same conclusion as for v3, no possibilities for a template.

Denis,

Perhaps the route author would permit you to spread the markers?

I'll give it a try.

Hi to all,

I have recheked the route up to v5 and found that in addition to the marked sidings with no length, more than half of the total routes sidings are estimated to be unmarked. Furthermore, to reach v5, the user must download 13 route files as detailed here:

4 files to have the version 3 route, then 4 more to update to version 4.0, also 3 patch files to update to 4.1 and finally 2 more files to upgrade to version 5.

With that many route files to download, I am not sure anyone would take the hassle to download all these files and it is not even installed yet. It may become complicated for those not very at ease with that many route files and the installation procedures. That would be simpler to have just one easy installer file like the Pentecosta route.

So I believe until all sidings are marked and evnemore make a one file easy installer, this route is not ready for a route template yet.
