Does BVE4 and the Class 66 include this feature?

Ah ok. Is there any way in BVE to tell what station Im at? Other than trying to follow the map/line diagrams? I did a run in the Class 37 down the NWM and I missed a few stops

You only stop at Riverside and Radley Junction, and as far as I'm aware, they signal you down anyways....
Hammerwich being your terminating station, so you shouldn't really miss that one, especially at just 30mph

Basically, if it's any help, Riverside is that one where you go into a TPWS protected 40 limit and it's just before a bridge over the river into another tunnel.
Radley Junction should always slow you for a junction approach signal before you are signalled into the platform, it's just after a very large dip in the hillside.

Hey Kingboy D. Apparently you have been able to get BVE4 running on Vista. How did you overcome the problems you detailed earlier and advised me about? I am still having the same prob you were having...Windows error...and would love to know how you overcame this! Thanks.

I'd like to just give KindboyD a hint- You could perhaps right click once your chosen service has booted up, and use the "jump to station" tool, move to the booked stops, and perhaps use the Shift+F7 (to move forwards), and CTRL+F7 (to move backwards), to get a picture of what you should see on the approach to the station.

Remember to isolate the TPWS, and close the doors before you move, to stop the emergency brake from having a field day.

Thanks for the tips guys!!

Petrail - I have totaly given up trying to run BVE on my Vista Laptop, I have re-comissioned my desktop that runs XP to use BVE hock:

Thanks KingboyD. Might have to do the same.

Alternatively, you will now find that Track Viewer has been integrated with BVE. Pressing CTRL+M will send you into Viewer Mode.

Or if you're on time, use the clock (By pressing F2 twice) to a rough guide to when you should be near a stopping point.
