:angry: I have been away from SimSig for various reasons, when I returned I have found that you have changed the format for loading a game. After spending almost 90 minutes I have worked out how to load the locations in using the SimSig loader. Now my problem is I can not load a time table for the Kings Cross sim, so could some one please help a dinosaur with this problem. I have got wtt in the c/users/public/public doccuments/SimSig/timetables so how do I get them from there to the sim so that I can play Log in to reply |

You're very nearly there, Kings Cross timetables go in that folder, in their own KingsX folder (or whatever the name of the relevant .sim is).

In the timetables folder there should be sub folders for each sim and the WTT files should be inside those. If this is already the case then I'm not sure what is going wrong. Log in to reply |

" said::angry: Thanks SACRO I have done that but when I go and start I find that the TT has not loaded into the sim, so my query is how do you get the TT you select into the sim so that you can playJust to eliminate it as a possibility, when you select the Simulation in the Loader, do you press 'Next' (taking you onto an options/TT selection page) or just 'Start'?

This was all so simple before the new loader was introduced. I admit I am a technofobe and find it quite difficult at times. I can't seem to do this either. I use Windows 7 . Life is not easy.When I downloaded a timetable iam not given the option to download it to the loader however it has downloaded else where on the computer and I now have no idea where to find it.

Use that to look for the file. Microsoft also give some other suggestions on how to find downloaded files in Vista here some of which may be applicable to Windows 7. If it a zip file, you will need to move the WTT file out of the zip folder to put it into the Simsig\Timetables\{Sim Name} folder.

It's what I have ticked in mine (Chrome), albeit that Chrome cancelled the setting when it 'updated' itself. I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either. Log in to reply |

It's may be even easier than that. Many browsers have a download history which you can access using <Ctrl>-J. If you downloaded the TT, it will be in this list. Depending on the browser, you should be able to open the folder the TT was downloaded into. Here's the browsers I know how to do it... In FireFox, right-click the file and select the "Open Containing folder...". In Google Chrome, there is a "Show In folder" link just underneath the filename. Doing the above opens the folder where the download was saved to so you shouldn't need to search for it. Now, TT's aren't built into an installer (unless its part of the installation package for the sim itself). This is because Geoff would have to create one for every TT that a user submits (unless the user knows how to create an windows installer themselves that is). It's do-able but a quite time consuming process. As a result, the TT's are just left as files you download, usually Zipped up, that you have to first extract and then copy to the correct location. What you are after for Windows 7 for sims that use the loader is to first extract the WTT file from the download (asuming you don't just get the .WTT on it's own) and then move your .WTT file to C:\Users\Public Documents\SimSig\Timetables\<Sim Name> where <Sim Name> is the name of the sim. If you have downloaded and installed the specific simulation to the default location, the relevant folder should already exist. Log in to reply |

Thankyou to everyone for these helpful suggestions but they are all a step beyond me. I still have a copy of my old hard drive from my Windows XP machine and although I had a session with someone from a computer shop who even wrote down fairly easy to follow steps when I try to do them I can't get them to work.I now use Windows 7 or try to. I will just make do with what I have for now until I can find someone willing to give me further reasonably priced tuition.

Hugh, If your instructions are for Windows XP then they aren't likely to work on Windows 7 because the lovely Microsoft moved things around and renamed things when it released Windows Vista which is what Windows 7 is based on). If you have an electronic copy of those instructions and you can get them to me, I will be happy to go through them and make the necessary alterations so that it will work under Windows 7 and send them back to you. You shouldn't have to pay someone to show you how to use a PC, not for something like this after all. Edit: If I lived in the UK I'd offer to drive to your house and do it for you as it would take only a matter of a few minutes to get things sorted out for you. Sadly though, I am an 8-hour flight away..... Last edited: 20/11/2013 at 22:35 by Lardybiker Log in to reply |

:evil: I tried the Victoria LUL with timetable supplied, I clicked start but still not got the time table that came with the sim so I am still frustrated, so the old saying should apply "If it is not broke why fix it" Log in to reply |

When you select a sim in the loader you should then press "Next" so that you can then select which scenarios and timetable you would like to use - Do not press start until the "Next" button is greyed out and no longer available
