Fife Circle Enhancement Pack

Description

First the REALLY important stuff:

  1. This will ONLY really work with Fawx's Fife Circle 2024 timetable. Don't ask - but due to Addon-Bleeping-Manager it won't work in Rivet's timetable and will crash in freeroam.
  2. If you have issues with PIS or T Posing characters, this is NOT caused by the EP. Check other out of date packages, and update or delete them.

Caveats

The internal Scotrail parts are placed on the GWR version of the HST. If you need to remove them to drive GWE, please rename or move the main EP Pak from your DLC. This was due to a limitation with the materials in the editor.

Any odd signalling behaviour is down to Rivet to fix, we cannot change those bugs.

Lighting over the Forth Rail Bridge is really quite bright. We haven't touched that, or been able to change it so far.

Version Change Log

v1.4.3 Update 25th Nov 2024

  • Class 170 now fixed and back to the original EP spec (except the PIS font which can no longer be changed)

v1.4.2 Update 21 Nov 24

  • Fix class 170 PIS and the T-Posing driver/passengers after Rivet updated the DLC. This is a quick fix, as we don't have chance to update anything else related to the class 170 lights, LODS, or the Leven Branch

v1.4.1 Update 7 August 2024

  • Fixed the LOD issue on the Class 170. If you have downloaded v1.4 please re-download this

v1.4 Update 7 August 2024

  • Rebuilt train running audio cue, audio, and rebalanced mixes to fix the problem originating from Rivets version, where running audio cuts out after switching cameras or an AI running past
  • Fixed flange audio so it's audible in cab
  • Adjustments to cab lighting to give compatibility with Spratty's class 170 EP

v1.3 Update 4 June 2024

  • Just a wee update to the class 170 lighting in the RVV files after the DTG Summer Patch - to ensure compatibility

v1.2 Update 15 May 2024

  • Noticed that Rivet had nerfed the internal running sound on the class 170. Running sounds replaced and mixes adjusted
  • Removed brake block rubbing sounds. Class 170s have disc brakes. No idea why they added them
  • Fixed Forth road bridge navigation lighting
  • Removed a Rivet floating ball of grass from tunnel entrance at N. Queensferry
  • Swapped the aircraft in default tiles to use London Brighton one (install the BML EP to get Easy A250s). May not load in default TT

v1.1 Update 14 May 2024

Following Rivets patch the following compatibility changes have been made, plus some other changes:

  • Removal of temporary level crossing as Rivet added a working version
  • Removal of duplicate aircraft
  • Fixed up airport runway 24 as Rivet made changes which broke the markings
  • Improved textures on I7C powercars
  • Added grass to tile north of Queensferry
  • Added Transpennine class 802 for future proofing
  • Removed THE TREE growing over the track
