Zusi in English

[Carsten Hölscher]

the latest updates include an English version of the simulator and the route-editor.

you need the latest programme updates
http://zusiforum.eisenbahn-seiten.de/vi ... c&start=26

and latest add-ons (especially no. 23):
http://zusiforum.eisenbahn-seiten.de/vi ... &start=186

(The downloads will be available on http://www.zusi.de this evening as well).

You will then find a directory %zusi%/sprachen/English/sprachen
It contains two more directories, copy them to the %zusi%-dir (some files will be overwritten). When starting sim or editor the next time, they will be English (and there is an English route-editor-documentation by Christian Gründler)

Humm - must have missed something.

I downloaded and installed all of the pudates and addons liste don the links above and copied the files as directed.

The editor is now in English which is great.

Zusi simulator is still in German.

Can somebody point me in the direction to correct this?

Thanks

Hello lightrail,

a) Zusi.exe should be release 2.4.3.1

b) inside the ...\Zusi\Sprachen folder there should be 55 files (from "FormAbschliessend.txt" to "readme.txt") and 2 subfolders

Is this really the case on your computer?

The manual for the Driving Simulator is still missing (hopefully to be published soon), but the programm should already be English.

Regards,
Christian

Seems I have 2.4.2.2 - I had missed the 4.3 update so the patch would not apply - all is now well.

Thanks

Installed all the updates but why I try and install the fahrsimu2430.upd I get the message that "File is not expected version "2.4.2.2"" even though the Zusi.exe is v.2.4.2.2 ?
I need this before I can install the fahrsimu2431 update.

Any help please.

Thanks

You possibly missed one ot two in the update series. Check the version of the Zusi.exe you have (Explorer pop-up menu, properties | version, or open Zusi.exe and look at help | info). Then apply all the missing updates in a chain.

Thanks for the reply Roland.
I do have Version 2.4 (2.4.2.2) but for some reason I can not update it?
What can I do ?

Thanks

The update procedure is a simple binary patch. Although the file version as indicated by help info or by Windows Explorer is not directly or technically related to the way the patch program verifies the source file version number, it is a convenient method for the user and hence the patch file includes these file version numbers as a file identification info.

So, theoretically, you can have a version of the file that is incompatible with the update, but carries the correct version number. However, apart from not consistently versioned beta files I have never encountered such problems.

Also make sure that your exe is not a compressed file, as thrae are reports that compression may tamper with the checksums that the patch program expects.

Then, you could try and run the update program manually (ZusiUpdate.exe) and see whether you get the same error.

We could compare the exact file size and date of your 2.4.2.2, which may or may not give a hint.

And, as a last resort, you could also retry the update chain from am earlier version (backup). If no backup is available, there is always the CD.

Hi Jason - I had the same problem.

Go to the updates page [from the main page it is Downloads, then Updates] and download fahrsimu2430.zip

Install this update first, then the update patch fahrsimu2431.zip

Install them in order and it works.

Thanks for your help everyone all fixed now.

Who would of thought a few years ago that Zusi would be available in English, I did not.
Thanks to everyone that made this possible and Carsten for allowing it.
