I've just purchased this marvellous pack and picked up the Raven Q6 at the same time. Is it intentional that neither locos work with auto-fireman? I also have the County and S160 packs and they work fine, but these LNER ones I cannot drive with auto-fireman. I feel that if it is intentional it should be added to the product descriptions.
That is very odd, there is no reason that they wouldn't work with auto-fireman and we have not had this reported by anyone else. Please report this to Dovetail Games for the Q6 so they can raise a bug ticket and we will investigate.
Thank you for getting back to me, I will do that. It's so strange because as I said, the County and S160 work fine with auto fireman on. To be honest nothing surprises me with Train Sim anymore! ;)
I've just tested the Q6 directly from Steam (rather than our development version) and the fire and water are filled up using auto-fireman as we'd expect. Can you give us details of exactly what it is that you're expecting and isn't happening.
You are correct, the auto-fireman seems to set the water level and fire mass correctly, and the dampers/blower. What then happens is about 30 seconds to a minute after I set off the steam generation rate suddenly plummets to well below 1000psi and no matter what regulator/reverser setting I use it never comes back. When I drive it without the auto-fireman the steam generation rate is absolutely fine. I use the F5 HUD to see my generation/usage rate.
Hi The situation is not set in stone but currently we are focused on releasing with Steam Sounds Supreme. We do promise that we will never put a product that has been released by SSS directly on to Steam - we may perhaps do cut down versions like the IOW Terriers pack - but the way to get the best value for money will always be via SSS.
Hello again VW. Ah well... I do like using your Add-ons, especially for when i'm creating my own workshop scenarios in my spare time. It's almost as if it adds a whole another to the game, sadly the way steam works is that content outside of steam will not be eligable to be published on workshop, which is a shame :/
Regardless that will not stop me from purchasing your pack, I look forward to trying it at some point :-) Cheers

DeleteHello VW. Quick question, seeing as you are releasing products on Steam sounds supreme. Does that mean, that you will no longer publish on steam?
