Name of Route: ADFRRV4 Update (ADF/M&RM)
Version and Release Date: Version 4 Update (and probably the last) May/06/2005
Description: The ADF/M&RM is a fictional Midwestern connecting line of approximately 345 point to point miles (including main branches) with trackage rights leased to many better known Railways so it's common to see many different names and types of equipment at any given time. It ranges from two mountain ranges to the hills and rolling plains in between with a variety of single vs. double track. This version has changes to Ada, and adds a small freight yard and branch South of Nuggett to fill out the Eastern End. Also some industries have been contracted in a couple of different areas.
Installation Method: 1 Full zip (80+meg) or 4 smaller zips (20-25meg each). (Prerequisites: Need to have ADFRRV3 already installed and running - 10 Self-installers inside zip files with installme.bat (by Route-Riter) that should be allowed to run after the FIRST Install file)
Size of Download: Approx 82meg (update alone)
Size of Installed Route: 755 meg including terrain buffers
Fantasy, Prototypical, or Freelance Operations: Freelance with emphasis on prototypical operations
Freight or Passenger: both
Era or Genre: 1950's forward
Location: USA - Midwest
Length of Mainline: 287 linear miles not including M&RM
Length of Branches: 105 miles
Number of Branches: 4 Short, 4 longer (5, 11, 15 and 77 miles-M&RM)
Number of Sidings: approx 80?
Number of Yards: 7 small with wyes, 5 interchange yards and 2 staging tracks
Mixture of Dual and Single Track: 60/40?
Level of Trackside Detail: Signals, Milemarkers, Platforms Siding and Yard Markers, Sound Sources, Sound Regions, Carspawners and many Custom addons from the TrainSim Community
Amount of Scenery Completed: 100% (some locations lighter than others befitting the Western setting)
FPS Specs, with qualifiers: 10-34fps @1024x768x16bit on PIII-800, 64mg vid-card 256mg ram with sliders maxed except shadows
Activities Provided: 55 simple activities (in apk form, found in the Extras folder) to highlight the changed sections with default consists which you can easily change to reflect your roundhouse and preferences. See web site below for briefings
Non-Default Consists or Rolling Stock Required in Activities: None in installed activity, but some required for the Extras Folder Activities
Add-In Track Sets: Xtracks required, compatible with v3.10 or later
Tsection.dat file used: standardized Tsection.dat, release 00018 or later
Payware or Freeware: Freeware with distribution restrictions
URL for More Information and Screenshots: http://www.adfrr.com/index.html go to Version4, Guide
Known Problems: 1. Still some bumpy track at Junctionville and between Bogville and the Mousetrap. 2. Also a switch North of Bailey has visual problems that I'm working on but haven't found a solution to as yet. 3. Probably would help to compact it with Route Riter once installed and running to get rid of any old files not being used (about 20-25meg)
