Fitz Sub/Update 6 Now Available

[Brad3816]

Make sure to download the ALine update from Hyrail before adding the Fitz.

Not going to lie: I bought the Fitz sub without even looking at the price.

? Should Run8 Update-6 also be installed along with Fitz Update, &, should one be installed prior to the other before installing Fitz itself?
Or, are both updates one in the same, both, being found within the Run8 site as well as Hyrail site?.

First: Update 6
Second: ALine Update from Hyrail site
Third: Fitz

Thank You Kindly Brad
Another from Discord have provided the following from Jason. Reads as follows.

• [COLOR=var(--text-normal)]Update 6 goes first Fitz goes 2nd the update from Hyrail is 3rd in order[/COLOR]
  
  

I'm presently awaiting activation of the Fitz link for download. As the present DL LINK doesn't seem to be activated like usual.
Anyways, hoping to get a jump on update installs prior to word / activation.

Hello Jason.
Yes, I believe all have been rec, installed correctly, as, I had followed Brads installation tree, before learning of other install tree. Somewhat dozed off, thus, have yet to open Run8 / Fitz itself. Hopefully all has gone well.
Thank You Kindly.

Great news, but probably have to wait until next month - used my train sim budget on the Arvin etc. branch and a wagon pack, plus having bought a PS5 adding a few bits for TSW.

However I will assuredly indulge at some point.

[NorthernWarrior]

I do have to ask one question, having skipped through one of the YT clips - what percentage of the route is enclosed in the "avenue of trees", so to speak? Are there plenty of open sections where distant scenery and hills can be seen?

[NorthernWarrior]

NVM the above, just bought it anyway.

I guess Bakersfild Sub makes up for having to pay for Needles a long time ago......

Looks nice but I doubt I'll be using it. My son is interested in Fitzgerald. I just told him you can buy it if you want.

Still the best simulator in North America but it doesn't keep my interest. One other thing that random weight thing imho is useless. When I first heard about it I thought that is really cool. But then I started spawning trains and realized there was no randomization including trains that would serve industries. I would imagine the same thing happens to cars loading at industries.
For all the trouble of accurately getting the right random weights, it's a shame this wasn't included in the spawning and loading of cars at industries.

The scenery upgrades look good as well as the new assets. Having a new free route in Bakersfield is a nice gesture. Not sure why they are still selling it on their site unless it was NOT supposed to be included in the update. Unfortunately it's not enough these days to get my attention for long. It's not just Run8 it seems to be all simulators these days.

Thanks

Sean I keep 2 copies of the sim on my PC.

One has all the DLC, the 2nd copy is base game only.

I am not seeing Bakersfield in my 2nd copy. No map assets, no dispatch screen. My launcher screen shows 3 routes.

As best I can tell, update 6 does not include Bakersfield.

[SurvivorSean]

Well that's strange because I never bought Bakersfield Sub

Thanks

Sean
