Durango & Silverton

I was having issues too till I used a program I've had called "Free Download Manager". Then it ran fine at a steady 1.5 megs per second. Download took like 5 minutes. Already running the route, looks pretty good so far. Love the whistle on the K-27

I am still waiting for my download link

and yes, I did send an email to Gtrax support.

Check your spam box, thats where mine was

I tried that free download thing, WOW! 6 minutes and it's done! Gonna try it now for the tip!

Finally got it now I have to go out so I cant even install it lol

[PapaXpress]

Yup, it was hiding in the Spam...

Thanks!

I'm gonna keep that Free Download Manager. Thanks, Shi, a great find! I thought Firefox was good. I just downloaded the entire D&S in under 4 minutes. Wow. OK, time to run FRAPS and get some screen shots! See y'all on the tracks!

Chris, get the FlashGot plugin for FF & integrate FDM into it.

I managed to get mine hours ago, still haven't got round to installing it...

[arizonachris]

get the FlashGot plugin for FF & integrate FDM into it.

OK, I'll see if I can figure out how to do that later. just taking a little break right now from this fantastic route. Runs so good I can't believe 45 to 60 frames! smooth, beautiful. gonna post screen shots after I sift thru them later (took way too many pics, LOL)

Flash Got was easy. Firefox says the FDM plug in is not compatable with FF11.0. It's OK, I can still use FDM manually. Now, back to your regularly scheduled Railworks!

Finally got it downloaded and installed. Gave it a quick test run and already I can't wait for the upgrades!!

Congrats.

I am not so lucky in downloading yet. The server is a real PITA, dropping the connection every 5 minutes or so. I am still able to resume the broken download each time, fingers crossed. Hopefully the file is intact, so I won't have to stay up the whole night to start all over again.

[PapaXpress]

Same here. At around 27mb it fails.

It's ok, tell Flashgot you've got FDM installed and it will use it.

Only had a quick play, but yeah the route seems to work very well.

oddly enough, when driving my steam generation rate somehow went to 1500 down to 2.4 for no apparant reason and will not go back up!?!?!?!?

[arizonachris]

Y'all that are having trouble downloading, the "Magic Bullet" is Free Download manager: http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download.htm I'm tellin' Y'all, took me all of 4 minutes to download the whole enchilada!

Thanks, Kali, I'll give that a try soon as I come up for air, LOL. Fell into the river once, won't do that again.

i tested this route over a couple of weeks and I can tell you, it is both fun and hard At one point climbing up past Pinkerton Siding and Shanoma Lake, I was down to under 2 1/2 miles an hour, so I would NEVER get a real job with the D&S (although did manage to not stall it out on the grade, and there was NO CHANCE of a photo run by for any photographers) Then you have to keep it below speed on the downhill run round the Highline - it is not as easy as it looks; but it does look beautiful

Hats off to Rick and Timm - a super project and a worthy cause.
