Help on Train Simulator 2014

[bentrain14]

Hey guys I have recently purchased TS2014 and have a few questions. Are there supposed to be the updated GEVOS in this? I opened the game and it has the gevos that came with TS2012. I know there was an update in TS2013 and I have seen people with these updated GEVO's in 2014. I am curiouse as is this a built in thing or do you have to purchase these?

I've a feeling you are referring to a version of Railworks/Train Simulator, which is not marketed or made by N3V.

You will need to ask on a Railworks/Train Simulator forum to get a proper answer for that specific question.

ok ill try to find one.

 

[shaneturner12]

I think UKTS handle that kind of thing from memory - other members here may know of others.

Ok, could you send me a link? I was hoping someone here who has the game would know.

I'm not sure if anyone here is likely to give you a straight answer though I'm afraid.

Did you check in the consist creator? They might be in there.

 

[bentrain14]

Yes I did. They still havn come up. I do have TS2012 installed, could that be screwing something up?

 

[GDennish]

How do you have TS2012 installed? Steam should have updated the game to TS2014 by now.

I ave two shortcuts the 2012 one and the 2014 one. I bought the disks.

If you can take the TS2014 disk back to the store, if you bought it from one, do so. Then let Steam upgrade TS2012 to 2014. It will do so automatically. It did for me.

Saves money and means all the DLC and other things you had in TS2012 will be kept.

For future Failworks questions, Steam has its own forum which are very helpful provided you are polite. Though I am sure being polite is not an issue for you.

Interesting. I still have the first Railworks disc and it always updates mine to the latest version.

Have a look at this video clip from Train Simulator 2013 and see if this GEVO is different from yours?

Train Simulator always loads through "Steam" and updates itself every couple of weeks so you should always have the latest version.

What you can do, from the Steam menu, is right click on "TRAIN SIMULATOR" and choose "Local Files" and then "Verify Integrity of Local Cache" - sometimes you have outdated, corrupted or missing files which Steam will download and install again.

Hope that helps.

Ill try this and es that GEVO is different.

The product is made by a different company www.railsimulator.com it is a totally different simulator. You should use their support system for your questions.

It means they will have to be redownloaded. Reacquired means obtained or gotten again because something happened to the others.

ok, so I i got those but still nothing. Im going to the other forums you guys were talking about now to figure this out. thanks guys!

UKTS is a bit cliquish. (For "a bit" actually read "very").

You might be better off posting at Trainsim.com www.trainsim.com or Railworks America http://railworksamerica.com/ though the latter while there are usually people able to help has a fairly low tolerance of any posting deemed to be "negative".

I hadn't realised until recently that the guy who owns UKTS is now working as a Project Manager for Rail Simulator (or whatever they are called now). No wonder other sims get such short shrift over on UKTS. The editorial and moderation style over there leaves much to be desired in my view, and is very largely driven by the commercial relationships of the site owner.

If you are posting there, you need to be aware that there are a large number of things you can't even mention without getting slapped down.
