Hello.
Right I have installed the Simsig and I have download a Westbury game.
The Westbury game is in my download area on my laptop but when I open it, it comes up as "How do you like to open this file (.WTT?) Look for an app in the store"
When I go into Simsig, it says "Welcome to Simsig. What would you like to do?" But when I go into the thing the Westbury game isn't there.
So how do I transfer the Westbury game on to the Welcome to Simsig bit for me to play the game??
It is really confusing somehow.
Thank you.

sounds like you've only downloaded the loader not the actual westbury SimSig

go to here http://www.SimSig.co.uk/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=56&func=fileinfo&id=647 and click download to download westbury sim

then move the .WTT file you have to

C:\Users\Public\Documents\SimSig\Timetables\Westbury

and then go back into the loader and start from there

Have you read, and followed, the Installation Guide?

It looks like you've downloaded the SimSig Loader and a Westbury timetable, but not the Westbury simulation itself.

Thank you, got it.
Got a train 2C90, messages showing 5A02 but the train headcode is still showing 2C90 on the track. Do I change the headcode or what?

Yes, you do. Right click description, click interpose and type new code, or press the 'I' button, type code and click the signal you want to enter it at.

You might want to read through these pages and the Westbury user manual, which explain the basics of operating a simulation.

It will be worth following Steamers advice and reading the two manuals provided in order to give yourself the basic understandings of SimSig...it worked for me!!

All you need to docks give a path out of Whatley quarry and the train will follow it.

To obtain permission to yards click on the phone button and click the relevant yard/quarry/depot and request permission using the head code of the train requiring permission.
