I searched for a similar topic, but did not find one, so here goes... What sim would you recommend for a small tablet? I bought a HP Steam 7 from teh Microsoft Store (actually I bought two but only one for me) because it was so ludicrously cheap and I have wanted for a while a computer to use in the bath. It runs full Windows 8.1 so will run Simsig - the question is which sims are best suited. Probably simple layouts but this also includes ideally a good amount of spacing between signals so that touchscreen route setting is easy. I have downloaded Aston to confirm how it works on tablet, and while it is a bit fiddly - especially the crossing releases - with my chubby (ahem) fingers, it is perfectly playable without frustration. If enough others are interested in playing on a touchscreen, any chance of adding an option to increase the area of the clickable region around a signal? Another, completely different thing just to mention - what is the logic in a separate limit to how many times you can download the same file in one day? I understand entirely why restrictions on total downloads are there, but do not understand the reason to further restrict the number of times one user can download the same file in 24 hours? The only reason someone would do that is because they had download problems; surely someone in that position should be allowed as many downloads as they like at least up to the global limit.

One with a decent point should make operation easier. As a side note, I'm not sure using a touchscreen in the bath is a good idea... Simulation-wise, Wembley Suburban, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Lancing, Chicago Loop, Lime Street, Watford Jn and Royston have small control areas.

If anyone is thinking of rushing out and getting a touchscreen, I have a touchscreen laptop (windows 8.1) and it is almost impossible to play SimSig using the touchscreen.

The Drain, Chicago Loop, Wembley Suburban (fits nicely on a single laptop screen, not sure about a tablet). Up periscope - hey, there's a train coming! (Added) Lancing Last edited: 12/02/2015 at 01:59 by maxand Log in to reply |

Southampton is very horizontally long but vertically short — my friend plays it on his netbook.

I wouldn't like to try complicated shunting operations) - I have now completed two bath sessions and one car session (where I was a passenger going to pick up a courtesty car after I crashed my car this morning - oops) and it is perfectly playable. Thanks all for suggestions, I am sticking with Aston until I complete the play through of the timetable, may then keep you all updated as I try others out. Log in to reply |
