Map question please?

[pcohen]

Hi everybody.

I am currently looking at the Route "Northern Rail Routes V6".

But when the programme starts a Map appears Briefely, but not long enough to read.

I have tried to find this Map to have on my Desktop but with no success.

hope somebody can help with this please?

Many thanks

Paul.

In the route's main folder, look for load.ace

Hi,
eric : In my version of the route, load.ace is exactly the same as that file in the default Europe1 (Settle Carlisle) route! It is not the map of the complete route.

paul : I cannot find a download version of that route so I assume you have the CD. If so, the map is file nrr6map.gif in the README folder on the CD.
Point of interest - this route covers a huge area but is described as a "Virtual Railway" (ie, not real) with some stock carrying a fictitious livery. Stock is dated 2001/2002 (with all that means!).

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged and Eric, thanks for your the replies.

The only thing on the CD is a file Titled nrr6 Notepad which contains no Map but does contains the following Text:-

Eric's Post only contained a load of Computer jargon.

Many thanks

HI Paul,
That is a puzzle! You MUST have the CD because the file you listed is nrr6.cdr.
Above that, you should see 5 folders :- images, README, ROUTE, STOCK and wavs
Open the README folder and you'll have 2 files :- nrr6map.gif and readme.html
If you've got a graphics program installed (you should have Paint!), you should be able to double-click nrr6map.gif and it will be displayed, otherwise double-click readme.html and you should see the map.

I'm sure you'll find things easier for you if you set Explorer to show the file extensions! I've mentioned this before, but you've probably forgotten!
From any Explorer screen, left-click 'View' at the top left of centre of the screen, then left-click the box 'File name extensions' (towards the top right) so that a tick appears in it.
That's it! Now, files in every Explorer screen will show their extensions (.eng, .wag, etc).

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Paul

MY NRR6 CD readme folder has two tiles,nrr6map.gif and readme.html which also has a map of the route. Both have a little more detail than the load.ace, which I suspect is from version 5 of the route.

Good Morning Ged and Mervyn. thanks again for your replies.

I have done. your quote:-"From any Explorer screen, left-click 'View' at the top left of centre of the screen, then left-click the box 'File name extensions' (towards the top right) so that a tick appears in it." and now have the Map.

Thanks again for the help.

Paul.
