    The fact that width of route or track cannot be
    altered is a drawback (presuming it is not the result
    of OS pressure!), but why were the routes/tracks
    thinner in MM3?

    Track widths and other stuff are user configurable
    in Anquet.

    Why so many OS restrictions with MM when Anquet doesn't
    seem to suffer from the same limitations?

    As I've pointed out, the big restriction with Anquet is
    that each map has to be copied to hard disc and registered
    before it can be used. That process ties you to use of
    each map on only one computer. With MM you can run the
    maps off of the CDs which means you can pop a CD into a
    laptop an use it there or you can run it off of the CDs on
    a desktop machine. Also the MM licence allows you to
    upload copies of the OS maps to a PDA for use with the PDA
    version of the MM software.

    So both MM and Anquet do have restrictions, they're just
    different restrictions.

    Anquet can be used from hard disc as well as CD.

    You can unstall the software on your computer and install it
    on another one.

    With Anquet you can also download maps from your computer to
    your PDA or PPC. (not to a Palm)

    Not so. Anquet can be run from CD also. I guess it would be
    slower that way though.

    So how does Anquet know you've uninstalled it on the first
    computer??

    It might have changed. They have a new product out.

    It uses a cache for which you can set the size. Areas that
    have been viewed previously remain in the cache so it
    doesn't need to access the CD unless you view a new area. Of
    course if you regularly look at new areas the older stuff in
    the cache will be wiped so you'll need to reinsert a (not
    "the"😉 CD for the local areas. Best to just stick it all on
    the hard drive, it's only 2 gig for half the country. The
    latest racing games are double that.

    I've had to reinstall Anquet from scratch 3 times on my PC.
    (Nothing wrong with the program, just me messing about with
    Linux) Each time Anquet have supplied new codes to unlock
    the discs without any trouble: you just send them an email-
    the address will be on www.anquet.com

    Yes, sorry hadn't thought of that. I was referring to the
    original 1:50k mapping.

    Absolutely, I've both N&S on my hard drive. But then I
    have very little else in the way of games or photos
    stashed there.

    Even if you did, hard disk space is really not a problem
    anymore, not unless you need to store thousands of 120 meg
    hi res photo scans.

    I've currently got 270 gig of hard disk space, a few gig is
    nothing these days.

    I haven't got one gig spare!

    I know, I know - but getting a new PC would mean XP, and
    I'm getting to know it via my mate's m/c first..... ;-)

    But you'll need a huge hard drive for the latest batch of
    games, not to mention loads of memory, a powerful processor
    and a graphics card with more memory and processing power
    than most computers had a few years back. Oh, and did I
    mention the DVD drive? Games are getting so big now that CDs
    are getting too small to hold them.

    Just to put this in perspective, FS2004 plus the four UK
    photographic scenery disks will consume 13 gig of hard drive
    space. Makes the 4 gig of my next racing game seem small,
    but I can't buy it until I get a DVD drive and a new
    graphics card first.
