Railworks America

Hi,

So what requirements are there to run WCML?

I'm trying to run the carrer or scenario that has the class 86 and it just crashing with "something bad has happened". I tried the Virgin Class 390 yet it says I'm missing Class 318. I do have the Class 390 installed. Are there some extra packs I'm missing to get this thing going?

WCML has high requirements because of it's high asset count, could you post your PC specs?
I'm running on Core2Duo 3,2GHz, 4GB Ram, ATI 4870 512MB and my framerate with my usual full details setting is just around the magic 25fps mark and drops even lower in the bigger stations.

The Virgin reskin is a bit of trouble to install for some people, in my opinion you just have to follow the readme file step by step very carefully and it should work fine. And it should not be dependant on another train.

For the "SBHH" error, first step is to verify the game files. You may have to do that several times. Also, from the Railworks launch screen, before you start the game, go to "tools and docs" and clear the blueprint cache.

If you are using creative labs Alchemy, make sure you disable it before running WCML, I don't think anyone's got that combo working right. If you don't know what Alchemy is, then it probably doesn't matter.

The 390 isn't in any default scenarios, so I imagine you've downloaded a 3rd-party one for it; in that case check the requirements of the scenario.

WCML?

West Coast Main Line, a very large British route.

Thanks, I thought it might have been something like that... :)

Thanks for your replies.

When I asked for requirements, I meant in terms of extra packs you need for railworks, not PC requirements.

I also did all the verify integrity, clear cache, and manually delete blueprints.pak.
And no, not using Alchemy.

Trying now to get a hold of RW_Tools I seen mentioned, see if that reports anything.

So not sure why class 86 route is just crashig with "something bad happened", but WCML has a 390 scenario, which says I'm missing class 318. Could anyone tell me which one that is? (also, aren't the packs suppose to come with everything needed since you already paid tens of dollars? it feels like when I'm buying a new pack, I'm only getting a car chasis instead of the whole car. Then I need to go buy wheels, brakes, etc)

No, they don't always include all that is needed. Reason being, it's not legal or cool to distribute someone else's payware with your route. That's why it's important to read the readme file that comes with each route. It will spell out all the extras you need to have, either by finding then downloading, or buying. And it's not always easy finding all the extra stuff you need.

Well, I went to their website, and their pack are not mentioning anything of any requirements. Which I don't think it's cool to spend money thinking it's going to work, but it's not, because their page does not have any pack requirements mentioned.

Anyway, could anyone tell me where to get RW_Tools and how to use it, and how to check if I am missing anything? Would it also help to identify why class 86 from WCML scenarios are crashing?

I own WCML and not the 390; I don't have a 390 scenario, and the scenario will appear even if you don't own the stock, it just won't load. Did you pick up some scenario pack from elsewhere, like an armstrong powerhouse one, or one from the UKTS library?

Here is what my WCML looks like

I am actually noticing that I have some AP12 scenarios which not entirely sure where they come from.
I have the following packs installed to date:

AP2 Scenario Pack
Canadian National Locomotives
Class 380
Class 390
Digital Traction - Mark 2e Coaches (needed for AP2)
Glasgow Airport Rail
WCML

If it's an AP12 scenario then I suggest you grab the extra stock pack for it from the AP site.

AP12 has a 390 scenario. The 318 is in the extra stock pack that you can down load from the SP website. Bring up the AP12 page and select the extra stock download.

Beat me to it! That's what I get for checking files first.
