This patch makes a selection of other mods for the 350 compatible, as well as making many other changes. These include:

  • Newly modelled external parts
  • Underframe weathering
  • Colour corrections on certain liveries
  • Passenger views with 2+2 seating on respective subclasses
  • Ex-LM (LNR) livery with no green decals
  • LNR front logo
  • Ex-LM (LNR) variants of British Transport Police and Project 110 liveries
  • Shortened all PreLoad consist names
  • Front LNR logo can be added by adding ;FL=1 to the rail vehicle number in the scenario editor. Applies to LNR 350/1, /3, and /4 subclasses
  • West Midlands decals automatically apply to LNR 350/1s.

Also includes a scenario (1Y70 Birmingham New Street - Milton Keynes Central) made by SlowLineTS

All changes are listed in more detail in the manual, along with scenario requirements.

IMPORTANT - You must have “WCML-South” ticked in the scenario editor assets filter to use this train in scenarios, otherwise you will experience lots of visual glitches. This also means you can only do quick drives on WCML South or routes that use its asset folder.

Is WCML South ticked in the assets filter for the scenario?

I think so. Do you want me to install it again?

Hi,

Excellent work, couple of things.

I was getting no cab view on the LM and Ex-LM 350/2, I found this was because it was looking for the Cabview2 folder in the LM1 folder instead of LM_AP

Any posibility of a DC variant for those loaned to Southern all those years ago and also a 'no 1st class' version of the relevant liveries as LNR abolished it in May 2023.

Thanks

Dale

Hi,
Thanks for your comment, I will sort out the cab view problem.
I don't understand what you mean by a DC variant - it is already included in the EP
I can probably script in the no first class so that you can add ;FC=0 to the rail vehicle number to make it not show.

DC variant as in quick drivable 3rd rail preload which was never included in the EP though I know you can set it through the number script.

I too have encountered an issue with glitching on the Passview and exterior views, it only seems be caused by the LNR /3 & /4 DMC2 vehicles.

I had on a Quckdrive (WCML Trent Valley from Stafford to Rugby)

I went into my test route and placed the 4 vehicles of and LNR 350/3 down individually, I found that when I placed the DMC2 vehicle it was morphed in with the TSOLW car as per picture below

I exited the editor into driving mode and all loaded fine, I then loaded up the same Quickdrive as before and again all loaded fine. Then I exited TS completely before restarting and opening the same Quickdrive again and the glitching reoccured causing the game to dump after a few moves of the 2/3 camera views.

For the issue with Quick Drive, as stated in the description and manual, WCML-South must be ticked in the scenario editor for the train to work - this is because the No Shoe patch and passenger views use assets from WCML South. Therefore a quick drive on WCML Trent Valley wouldn't work. As for the issue you sent a picture of, this is simply happening because the coach needs to be part of a full consist for the scripts to work properly.

Ok thank you, I see what you mean. Would it not be possible to copy the required files across into the PortsmouthDirect folder to get around this?

I wonder if it would be possible to port the entire 350EP onto the WCML South 350 model?
