Transmission Simulator
At one time, the transmission simulator on this site https://www.modeltcentral.com/transmiss ... ation.html showed how the T transmission worked internally with various combinations of pedals engaged. I have not been able to get it to work now. Is it still supported?
It may be something simple but I have not been successful. I remember the site being very informative.
Thanks.

Re: Transmission Simulator
The box where the simulator used to be appears to say "access to Adobe Flash Player is blocked".
Have you tried contacting them via a link on the website?

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: Transmission Simulator
It depends on which browser you use. Google 'Unblock Flash Player' and you will find advice.
For Chrome, when you got to a website that needs Flash, a tiny puzzle piece appears top right.
Click on that, then 'manage'. Click on the switch and you should get the 'ask first' option.
Reload the site and you should be asked if you wish to allow Flash.
Answer is 'allow'

Re: Transmission Simulator
Thanks for the suggestions. I did try to contact them before I posted but had not gotten a response. I switched browsers and was able to get the simulator to work.
Is this explanation/simulator something that should be referenced somewhere on the Forum?
Thanks again.

Re: Transmission Simulator
Putting on my work security administrator hat for a Flash lesson:
The simulator is an Adobe Flash document, designed to be viewed using the FREE Flash player. The Flash format was introduced in 1996 and dominated multi-media production in the 2000's. Flash is now considered to be outdated, and has been replaced with newer formats such as HTML5 and WebGL. The Flash player has a long history of security vulnerabilities, which require frequent patching, and is a network administrator's nightmare.
Modern browsers have restricted or blocked use of Flash, and Adobe will end support of the FREE player on December 31, 2020. To view Flash documents after that date, you will need to run unsupported, potentially vulnerable software, or BUY a suitable viewer. Hopefully the site owner of the simulator has the source code, and the means to convert it to a modern format. Until then it will go the way of that Model T parked in the barn, waiting to be revived.
We are used to dealing with obsolete, unsupported, dangerous devices that few people want.I don't plan to keep a Windows 7 computer around however.
