Good stuff Rob! Notice how the nameplates on the green version are the wrong colour? (they should be red) We raised this and other issues literally years ago and they've never been rectified. Meanwhile, N3V continue to sell this model in their Download Store while washing their hands of any kind...

I take your point Mike. If they're insisting on a £100 a year subscription to be able to play this game fully, then that raises the bar on the DLC they're providing. Two versions of the class 47 in three years isn't good enough. There still isn't an option there for 60s and 70s modellers (like...

Thanks for the responses. Not hugely reassuring. Bit like spinning a roulette wheel. Hmm.

Shame that N3V are no longer monitoring these forums and so won't see this thread. Obviously the Discord is full of youngsters who love a 'jazz' font (as did I back in the day, but now I can't see them!)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I'm not being blinded by the forums! (My optician suggested I may be developing a cataract earlier this year which they want to keep an eye on, so I have a sense of where you're at with this John.)

Good to see the Warship in some of your pics Mike. It's not a bad model (I was one of a group who were consulted during the development) but it's let down by some problems in the config (so you may have noticed there are no nameplates showing even though they're in the model). We communicated...

Yeah, I guess I was triggered, so that comment was a bit intemperate. Looks like I will be re-joining Gold this week so I'll be back at the elite level. But I promise not to sneer!

I wasn't thinking of you Mike! I was responding to a particular post (that I must say rather triggered me) on another thread* that was along the lines of, 'well if you can't afford Gold, go and make your own models...." I know that's not your view, but you do hear it on here from some people...

I agree with these sentiments. I commonly toggle between both (love S2.0 for working on splines) and I'm happy to have them side by side in the game. However, I doubt it's efficient for N3V to have two UIs hard wired into Surveyor so I've always assumed they'll move exclusively to S2.0 for the...

Thanks for the responses. This is quite an important point as my routes make extensive use of speed trees so I need to know if they're still going to work in SP6 with HF1 installed. Is it a framerate issue or is the appearance of the trees themselves also impaired?

I must say my attitude about Gold is hardening due to the arrogance of many Gold users that you see on here who feel a sense of entitlement because they can afford the subscription compared to those who can't. 20 years ago we had a united community that worked together to create the Download...

Well thanks for your stinking arrogance. Very typical of the Gold elite. 'New models for us. 20 year old models for everyone else!' The Marie Antoinette of Trainz!

I'd like to check this: what is the impact on existing speedtrees from installing SP6? does it in any way impact on their appearance and performance?

I missed this post when I had my original scan through this thread. I share this philosophy completely - I enjoy spending time (years?) adding exquisite detail to a small area. Razor's original small routes - Asburton, Windrush, Much Murkle - were inspirational for me. Check out his latest...

Yeah, I think Jan's later stuff is much better optimised (though his trackside splines were a favourite of mine for a long time).
