You need to have a UK Train Sim account for those two and:

for a really good Eurostar and heaps of other great trains from the Netherlands, the Koploper is really top notch. No accounts needed for those

Just found an even better way to download the Tunnel route.
Go to http://www.railsim.nl and sign up for a free account there.

It's partly in English and a bit hard to understand but its sufficient. Unlike UKTS which has a 2KBPS download limit and most times a waiting queue. This site doesn't and has better download speeds. On my wireless I've been getting speeds of 12 KBPS. Enjoy!

You, good sirs, are scholars and gentlemen to the last man.

I've just done a quick burn over to Calais, and it was tres grouse. I used the Acela, because I was in a rush (I'm supposed to be working), but later I'll download some more prototypical rolling stock, and have a poke about the rest of the route.

Thanks lads.

Still having fun with this. I downloaded the British Eurostar, which is nice eye candy. The physics seem a little odd. You can pull it up under hard braking from 270kmh in about three feet (well, it seems like it). The cab is strange too (lots of stuff doesn't work), but it's a fun thing to drive nonetheless.

I then took my CPH railmotor along the line. heh. Looked weird sitting at Lille. Anyway this particular CPH is the Lebanese version. I got it up to about four and a half thousand kilometres per hour - if you've ever done this you'll know how MSTS can't render the track ahead in time, and you often find yourself driving across grass. I was out of the tunnel before I knew it, and emergency braked, but still ran through the buffers at the British end at about Mach 1.

I might take the 38er for a run on it later... Or some 48s on a wheatie. I loves me my realism. Cool

Had a small problem with an otherwise good route, when I was driving a train of VR rollingstock, at "British Crossover" I had a coupler brake, which meant game over. This is the first time in many moons this has happened.

My rollingstock was an A class, 2 B's and a string of WCR S/Z cars. Not quite sure which peice broke what from what.

Is there any solution known to be able to fix this problem? Or is it something I will just have to deal with by driving slower? Smile

I was doing approx 145km/h at the time!

Many thanks in advance Smile

I have traveled 360km through the tunnel with realism switched off & using a ICE.

aushuntercoal · Posted: Thu May 11, 2006 7:25 pm

I'm assuming it's the German or French originated ICE, not QR.

There arent any ICE out there for QR, in fact there are no MU's for qr at all.... ive searched for so long!

V2 fixes some bugs and errors in the route and it also updates the track layout as to that of recent. Enjoy
