The Edinburgh to Aberdeen is a good contender for the longest route. I've yet to finish it in one sitting.

But are there any longer ones available?

Likewise, the Edinburgh to Aberdeen route is the longest route I've come across so far. Again, I'm yet to finish it in one sitting! lol

I shouldn't think that there are any longer than that.

Ive only completed Nothern line in 1 sitting most I get bored with , Maybank is a fair route if you go on the non-electrified section!

Carlisle - Sunderland on Tyne Valley is 77 miles long in real life... my representation takes 1 hour 43 minutes to drive properly..... probably comes second for overall length!

I'm sure the full Network West Midlands is possibly close, but the full Tyne Valley is definately up there.

142 miles done on the east coast main line since 2002. rather slow process though, some of it ranging from highly detailed to just a pair of tracks. one section was started when a hard drive faliure prevented me from working on york- doncaster and the other section done to see if a route could be constructed quickly and error free.

and no, it won't be out soon. sorry

Sorry, Tom, this thread was about the longest driveable route, which I've assumed to mean released route.... surely, something that you haven't yet released can't count, because we can't drive it yet...

And York - Doncaster surely isn't 142 miles... which other bits have you built?

Kind regards

yeah, that's the sad thing. i'm not actually saying people can drive it, or even the whole thing will be released, but it is there on my HD. I was just using it for comparison.

So, let's see if I can get this straight in my mind... you've been building this for five years (based on your other posts)... I can only recall ever seeing two (admittedly impressive) screenshots (track detail and a platform, as far as I recall, and a screenie at York).... and it only exists on your machine?

So, what's going to happen next?

I'll tell you...

This post will be followed by a rash of gushing posts, along the lines of "Can't Wait!"; "Sounds fantastic!"; "Keep up the good work!"... that sort of thing..... then, six months later, someone will dare to ask if there's been any progress, and will get slapped down ("It'll be ready when it's ready", "No news means the developer's busy working on it", "If you can't wait, try building it yourself," and so on...).

I'm sorry to say this, TomBoyRacer, but I find this sort of "teasing" posting, with its non-promise of ever offering anything back to the community, irritating beyond belief... it's this sort of thing that spoils BVE for me.

If an individual is not up to the job of contributing, don't con people into thinking that you are....
