Weather conditions:
The day starts on a hazy note. It stays that way till Edinburgh. One can expect few spells of showers along the way and then back to dullness at Newcastle. The hot and humid condition gets overwhelmed with thunderstorm just before entering York. Post which the day looks grim and drizzles with variable intensity. All these variations are possible due to AP Weather EP, so it is recommended to have it installed. Otherwise, the default pattern will take over.
I am still having the problem with the stop at Alnmouth not registering
The third scenario will also not load because it is not recognising the route, despite the fact i’ve installed it…
Hi I am making a scenario and was just wondering how do you change the destination plate on the door of the BH reskins 225 vtec/lner.
The destination codes are given in the manual so please go through that I don’t remember tbh. Once you have the code suffix it with each coach number and it should be visible.
Hi Stenkil, Would like to let you know that parts 3, 4 and 5 ran perfectly, problem free, and were really enjoyable. Thank you. I did notice that in part 3 the Readme listed stops at only Darlington and York, whereas in reality there was an additional stop at Durham.
Hello, that’s great to hear. Yes there was stop at Durham which I forgot to mention in readme. Appreciate the feedback and once again thanks for playing these scenarios.
Great part 3, problem free. Thank you.
I had the same 2 problems as Mick.
I am sorry to hear that Benelena. I will look into these scenarios when I get some free time and will update you accordingly. As I mentioned in my reply to Mick these issues are random and might not occur during testing. Please let me know if something similar happens with other parts.
Enjoying the scenarios, but have had a couple of issues. In part one just after leaving Glasgow Central there is a GO VIA. You do this, but it doesn’t register so you get scenario incomplete (I’m not worried about the green tick but some peeps are).
Part 2, I can’t get the stop at Alnmouth to register. Tried moving the train a number of times but nothing. The doors open but no timer runs. When I arrived at Newcastle the activity list was still showing stop at Alnmouth!
Really enjoying the scenarios & AI though. Cheers.
Thank you Mick for pointing these out. Apologies for these issues. While testing I did not come across the GO VIA issue in part 1. Though I have noticed that ‘Pick up passengers at Alnmouth’ instruction is quite buggy. If you happen to go to scenario editor you can see that the instruction is to pick up passengers and not ‘Stop at’. Even when F1 is pressed it shows the same thing. Overall these issue are random and may not appear while testing. But I will try to sort these out and give you an update. Thanks for playing and let me know how rest of the parts behave.
Hi mate. Thanks for the reply. Still enjoying the scenarios. Just thought I would let you know. 😊 Will let you know how the other parts run. 👍
Hello mate. Just finished the scenario. Apart from having to Tab a signal on the approach to Huntingdon as it wouldn’t clear (it didn’t cause any issues), parts 3,4 & 5 ran faultlesly. A very enjoyable scenario with plenty of AI. Cheers
Thanks for letting me know. Glad all worked well for the last 3 parts. Cheers! 🙂
How come it wasn’t done on the ECML merge?
Thanks for downloading. I do not have ECML merge route. Even if I did I highly doubt that my machine can take this many AIs on a single run. Eventually I have to break it up into part by part scenarios. Also troubleshooting is easier in this case.
