New Beta

[Claude350]

I downloaded the new beta which is posted as 1695. However when opening the update it still shows it to be 1691. Is this correct for the new beta or has a mistake been made?

Do you mean the beta v0.9 or the experimental v1691?

The experimental version. V1695 is suppose to be the latest but when you open the program to the menu screen it shows v1691. Sorry for the confusion. I forgot to mention that it was not the v0.9 version but the experimental version.

Go to this thread, scroll down, and see the instructions for downloading the X1695 RunActivity.exe

Drop it into your X1691 folder (if that's how you file it) to replace the X1691 version.

Exactly what I did but I will download and try 1696 in the latest trunk file.

I also noticed with the latest version of v1695 that the dynamic brakes barely hold the train in the range where they should be most effective. I'm hoping this will get some attention with a fix.

The bad dynamics have been around since the introduction of the gearbox feature and is known. A fix is being worked on, but we will have to wait because the fixer is a busy person.

At least you don't get tossed into the middle of next week when they cut in, as you do with Railworks (TS2013)!

And I thought I was the only one with that problem. It mainly occurs with the Dash 9 model. I've had a few derailments when the dynamics kick in with all that unnecessary force, lol.

It's a mistake. Sorry about that. Fixed it a couple of days ago.

Fixed in X1704.
