Blue-Mountains v3 Nearly Ready

Hi Old-C-38,

Sorry, but I think you will probably have to re-do the Activities for them to work in v3 - The track layout and signalling are very different on the two versions, and Activities depend on reading these to work.

I am not a big Activities writer myself, and perhaps there are others here who might be more help to you on this matter.

Mike.

G'day Mike,
There appears to be a signal failure just west of Penrith , before the turn out into the yard on the UP line & the only way I could get around it is to go to wrong line running at Emu Plains & cross back over just before Penrith Station.(this was made up as an activity & in Activity Editor it showed the Driveable Train pulling up. I then drove the route & got shot out of the game for passing a "signal at stop"after being told"permission denighed".)
Another appears to be some of the speed boards don't relate to the speed shown using the F4 Button but I will check this out next time I go west using the cabview from a V Set or Diesel.E.G. speed board 75,F4 listed 47.
Regards,Old_C_38.

OK, I thought I had fixed all the signals, but maybe one got through, a lot of the links got broken when I changed some signal types.

With regard to the speedposts are you sure your loco is not showing MPH whereas the speedposts are in KPH? 47 mph is approx 75 kph.

G'day Mike,
Stupid ME !!!. I went up the mountain to Katoomba by Red XPT------Yes,M.P.H. & came down the mountain in a Blue V-Set-----Yes,K.P.H.
Thanks & Regards, Old_C_38.

P.S. All the Old Photos I,ve Got of Wolgan Valley are black & white but so were all the locomotives & the wagons were rusty iron & timber. the trees you would use are green & the skies are blue except when it rained & that was often so "go for it" because no one can say your wrong because none of it is left & I don"t think anyone else will attempt it.
