I've recently bought a tablet / notebook hybrid, and naturally one of the first things I wanted to install was SimSig. SimSig runs fine on the tablet, although scrolling is a pain and you have to be a lot more accurate with your clicking. After having a play around, I've found paged Sims to be much more touch screen friendly as you don't have to worry about the scrolling. They also suit the 10.1" screen a lot better. I was wondering, was there more paged Sims than are currently available? If so, is there any possibility of making them available again? Lucas Log in to reply |

" said:Yes, quite a lot. Swindon and Didcot existed as [separate] paged sims as did Exeter, Westbury, Bristol, Kings Cross, Peterborough, Liverpool Street, North London Line, Southhampton and Stafford to name a few that I can think of. I think if you dig through the Wiki and look at the iteration timeline of the various Sims you can see which changed. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Im not sure all of them will run on a modern 64 bit system. I ended up having issues getting some of them to run in the end even with a modified 64 bit loader.

To be fair, you'd be hard pushed to notice the difference given the lighter use a tablet gets. Log in to reply |

One thing to bear in mind is that paged sims will be old, won;t have the latest features and in some cases, may not run the latest TT's on them, particularly if that sim has now been upgraded to a scrolly.
