NOTES:
This scenario has been designed and tested with the AP Sky & Weather Enhancement Pack and TrainSimCommunity’s TimeOfDay pack installed. While not essential, it is recommended for the most accurate and realistic weather, sky, and lighting conditions corresponding to the scenario’s time and season. Without it, the visual environment may appear inconsistent or unrealistic for the given date and setting
This scenario is extremely resource intensive. Therefore, to run this scenario, you MUST first run the included 1F44 PRE-LOAD standard scenario. Have a fly around Leicester once spawned in and follow each of the tracks away from the station for a few miles (particularly North to Syston) and allow the game to load in the problem ‘tiles’. Then, exit and load 1F44 as normal and it *should* work
Items marked with a bold asterisk (*) are optional and relate only to static scenery at Derby RTC. The scenario will run perfectly well without them; they’re not required, but simply included to enhance realism and immersion

…and that’s it for this scenario. My other creations can be found here. Anyway, enjoy! 🙂





Absolute cracking run, thoroughly enjoyable.
As suggested I also had to run the PRE- LOAD and fly up to Syston to stop the dreaded OOM issue.
Many Thanks
An excellent run as always. Had indeed to preload up to Syston north to avoid OOMing!
