Appologies.....Again

Progress on the route basically came to a stop shortly before Christmas and soon to begin again soon, I have made quite a few changes to my pc, upgraded the RAM to 12GB (was supposed to be 16GB but on of the Dimms is broken/faulty and the RAM module cannot fit inside), added a second DVD RW drive because the main one doesn't like some disks (don't know why). I also fitted a new 2TB Hard Drive and and two new 140mm fans to try and keep my PC cool (the processor has always been relatively hot running, it has a maximum temperature of 55⁰ to 62⁰C and usually idles around 45⁰C to 48⁰C. 

Appologies...

I'd just like to apologise for the delay in these photos, this has been because of some issues with steam which have now been resolved. Anyway here they are, enjoy:

Oh and one other thing, I'm going to start the weekly edited image again.

Signals Update

Signalling Dinworth Central Station is now nearly complete pictures very soon.

Update

Route building is going well, will shortly (next few hours or so) be starting to (finally) add signals to the Dinworth Central Approach. Will post pictures soon, maybe a before and after shot if I can find a picture of it before all the work.

Route Building Resumes

After just over a month of emailing Railworks Support we have come to the conclusion that I require more RAM in my computer to stop it crashing, unfortunately I will not be able to afford the upgrade until after Christmas. So to keep route building going I am reverting to my last Railworks 3 Backup and will be using that until I get the RAM upgrade. This should mean normal service will resume. I would also like to thank those who have viewed my blog this month and helped make it the month the blog has been viewed the most in, I noticed that a large proportion of these views are from Russia and the Ukraine, so perhaps in the future I may develop something for that region of Europe. Anyway thanks again.

The Joys of Forgetting to Back Up

Well I forgot to back up and another problem has struck and meant I have had to revert to my last TS2012 back up which has none of the new OLE around Dinworth, so it's back to square 1. Hopefully I'll be where I was last night by next Sunday.

Route Building can resume......?

I think that the problem seems to have just stopped, I am hoping that it won't come back, but in the meantime I'm working faster than before to try and catch up a bit, however all the OLE around Dinworth Central is now complete, just a little bit on the approach to apply and then I can finally try the erm... stressful task of signalling the entire thing.

Apologies

I apologise for the lack of posts however I have little to post about to be honest, I have made little if any progress since the launch of Railworks 4: Trainsimulator 2013. This has been due to the world editor constantly crashing, to give you an idea of how bad this problem has been the progress I have made is to add 15 OLE pieces around Dinworth. Which is looking a lot better after the addition of some rather tall buildings (which were added before RW 4: TS2013) from London to Brighton and the North East Corridor Route, including the Shard and Empire state building (which has a rather nice view of the station from the top of it, I might add a picture when I sort the problem out. I feel that these buildings help to make Dinworth feel less flat and add some nice features to look at.
