Epping-Ongar Railway

Moderator: senjer

Do you want to be able to run tube trains on the line to Ongar again?

Yes, from Epping to Ongar, so occiasional tube trains, or 'full-tube-service' are possibilities.

Yes, but only halfway; no further then North Weald.

No, I'd rather have it un-electrified as is exists in reality.

Or perhaps he has a small monitor like me (1366x768). It's frustrating to see every bit of software being made just for large screens these days, meanwhile I can't possibly get a larger one because of economic and space constraints.

Only by clicking on the small X in the top right corner.... If you don't see it... Perhaps you have set your computer screen resolution too low. In that case; either set your screen resolution higher, or avoid opening the yard overview.

Perhaps I can reduce the size of the yard overview when I do a next release (still planning to do the line to Hainault, at the moment I'm busy with the MF67). ;)
Thanks for the advice. I just tried to follow what you suggested, however, it didn't work, even after I reduced the screen resolution on the setup.

I just found this video on youtube, and I see that the signal for entering Ongar does not show the destination track number: https://youtu.be/MdjeLB89Bps?t=447

This is a bug that was not found in testing. I have solved it, and updated the download link on the Wiki.
As the issue seemed to be present too for signal NW2 at North Weald (entry signal when coming from Epping), it has now been solved for that signal too (it should show an "L" for a path to track 1, and a "B" for a path to track 3).

I also looked at the problem from this post, by making the texture file height smaller by 200 pixels (900->700). I hope that's enough to solve the problem;

Hi,
Could this "texture file height" fix also be made for the City of Thames map please.
Mike.

O (still planning to do the line to Hainault,
if/when this is done is a London update pack planned??

Because the clicking sound on the class 378 when the brake acelerator handle is moved is FAR too loud. can this be fixed please if it is quick to fix.

This reminded me of an old bug I’d forgotten about. The sound when the doors open in the 2009 stock is quite a bit louder than it should as well

If you mean the dot matrix displays on the platforms this is on puprose because in future CoT updates there will be many ways to go from one place to another and thus a letter won't correspond to one destination only

why on the activites are the central line at 10 minute intervals in reality trains going to epping are very 6 -8 mins apart with a loughton or debedn train every 6-8 mins meaning a train north of buckhurst hill every 3-5 mins. i appreciate the debden/loughton terminators aint included in the game as theroute only goes as far as woodford
