Hi, Ik this is going to be a no-no sim request but I'll ask anyways. Could there be any future chance that Ashford (either the HS1 panels or the BR lines panels or both) could be produced as I think that its stupid (excuse the word input) how such sims cant be made just because of it been made by Geoff. However, Liverpool Street IECC (the station area and the West Anglia panels) was produced without any problems?!?!?!?! I in all personal honestly cant see the difference between the Liverpool Street and Ashford IECC's. There both IECCs and they use near enough the same equipment and ARS system, so if there is any differences, please do point them out because I'm curious to see why Liverpool Street (the mentioned panels) was produced and Ashford cant be.

Someone may, or may not, cover Ashford IECC in the future. In order to do this they would need vast amounts of data:

* Lengths of every track circuit
* distance between signsls
* gradients
* Line speeds
* details of the interlockings (control tables)

And probably vast quantities of other stuff. It's not easy to get some of the information, and development can (and does) take years.

Exactly, it just isn't that easy or quick to build a sim as it takes many many many hours from idea to finished product plus you have to remember that the developers have a long list of jobs they need to complete ie Cambridge is still a paged sim built using now outdated coding which one day hopefully will be converted to loader BUT the developer of that specific sim has a lot of stuff to do which means that Cambridge simply won't appear as a loader sim any time soon.

It's very hard work to do end of.

My point is not that directly, it is that Ashford is not allowed to be produced (as mentioned on Conflicts of Interests page) however Liverpool Street was. That't the point I am trying to get to and I am already fully aware of the time it takes to make new sims.

Liverpool St was one of our oldest sims and predated the CoI.

But you see on the areas that can not be simulated page on SimSig, it says that you cant produce Ashford. But okay, I understand what CoI (Conflict of Interest) is now.

Oh, okay I understand now. But originally, I thought you gained permission to produce Liverpool Street.

If you read the conflict of interest page somewhat better you will see why Geoff said 'never say never' (and why Liverpool Street was possible in first place).
