Extending the route to Swanley now. Here is the chalk cliffs near Eynsford.

Could you please tell me where to find clock.wav. Seems to be missing or am I overlooking something?

RE: Ashford to Otford release

There is no clock.wav, Forgot to delete it before releasing the route.

That's tidy!

Just a thought, and I suppose things might have grown up a bit since my last trip down that way! but I remember following the road bridge after Kemsing (Noah's Ark) the land opens out to fields, more or less until the first houses before Otford?

Hello again John,

After the hugely informative [to me anyway] "BVE 4 versus BVE 2 (performance issues again)" topic it's nice to get back to BVE 2.6.3 (I'm a huge fan!). Your route, along with a few other BVE version 2 routes (e.g. Hammerwich to Wood Green, Watford Junction to Milton Keynes, Plymouth to St Austell and ALL the Sandymill routes to name a few), give me very good framerates and are a pleasure to drive. I still don't understand why these routes, like yours, give a Celeron CPU user like me such smooth framerates and generally better performance over the entire route. BVE 4 is absolutely brilliant but, until I decide to spend lots of cash on a brand new PC with ONLY BVE VERSION 4 in mind) I will continue to enjoy, and look forward to, routes like yours.

Thanks.

Neil

Hi Boxcars

My computer is 600MHz, not very powerful these days. So I have to conserve frame rates. The route works okay on my computer which means that anyone with a pc above 600Mhz should have no problems at all.

I'm glad you are enjoying the route.

Thanks for the reply John,

You say that your computer is "600MHz, not very powerful these days." Well looking at my system specs below

http://www.packardbell.co.uk/products/node1821.asp?partNumber=P851008225

my computer seems to be 400MHz, I found that given as my "Bus speed". Is the "Bus speed" (whatever that means!) what you are talking about? Pardon my ignorance but I really am for real! I "cleared my Deltics" at Sandy in the early 70s so that gives my age away a bit! I bought my first PC two years ago ... hence my embarrassing questions!!! It's very important to me to keep up with everything that BVE has to offer.

Thanks fellow BVEer.

No, it's not what he's referring to
The bus speed is another thing entirely. Without going too technical, your PC's is what is referred to under processor, ie. Intel Celeron 2.6ghz. Basically, the bus speed is multiplied by the FSB Multiplier, to give the total processor speed; It's a bit like having several different lanes of traffic. If you want more technical, then I can go that way if you wish :P

RE: Ashford to Otford release

That's technical enough Chris! Now I know!
Thanks very much for that.

Here is an image of disused Lullingstone Station with Eynsford Tunnel. Also a picture of the approach to Swanley, with the Chatham line joining from the right.

This route is starting to get long.

RE: Ashford to Otford release

New lamp posts at Charing. The timetable shows Swanley and you do not have to stop at East Malling,Kemsing,Shoreham or Eynsford.

I might make a BVE route from Sevenoaks - Bat and Ball - Swanley, where you will need to stop at Shoreham and Eynsford. It would be a good addition.
