INTRODUCTION - PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
While BVE4 is great, one thing I have found frustrating is that the Timetable isn't displayed if you're driving a BVE 4 route with an older train. BVE 4 has a panel2.cfg file for each train it uses, and by ferreting around the forums and looking at BVE 4 compatible trains, I found the [timetable] statement that you need to add to the panel2.cfg file to make BVE 4 timetables appear in older train cabs.
So, I've written a brief "how to" which is available using the link opposite. To make things even easier, I've also made some downloadable .zip files for the trains I use most frequently (class 104).
Please note, I fully respect and acknowledge original authors' copyright and intellectual property rights in the original train files. The downloads are merely the extra files you need to make the BVE4 timetable appear in (most) BVE4 routes (although I don't guarantee this!). You should download the train files from the usual places first, if you haven't already got them. I have published these additional files and the "how to" purely as a quick fix, mainly for people who simply enjoy driving trains, and having first canvassed the opinions of some train authors... so, if I've trodden on any toes, I apologise!
These files are provided to enable some older trains to use the Timetable feature in some BVE 4 routes. The trains have been tested on the Maybank routes and Tyne Valley. I tested them on Uchibo, but THEY DID NOT WORK on that route, so they are provided with no warranty whatsoever!
Please note, as new trains become available for BVE 4, I am withdrawing my mod files. The only file remaining now is for the class 104 DMU.
DOWNLOAD THE “HOW TO” AND READ IT BEFORE DOWNLOADING AND UNZIPPING THE OTHER FILES
