Ah I know why the red signal occurs; the 321 at the start triggers it when unloading passengers at KGX. I just made it a driverless consist (for personal use) so that it can’t move.
I’m unable to leave Kings cross due to the light being red and won’t change. Seeing as this is the beginning of the route I cannot play it at all. Tab request is declined
I am sorry to hear that! Do you have all the requirements, and can you see if any train is blocking your path?
Does this work with the new version of the route?
I have done some minor testing, and it should run fine. However, this is not a guarantee.
Will this work with the newer version of the route?
dont know if you can help me when i load this one in i get JT Class 221 CCa (DMF) nd is missing i have Just Trains – Voyager Advanced 2019 installed but still get it not sure what to do now
SORTED IT NOW
Great scenario, only problem I had was, same as Alexander , Unable to unload passengers at Edinburgh.
Thank you.
Hi, very nice scenario. All ran very smoothly until I arrived at Edinburgh where, despite stopping exactly on the HST mark, I couldn’t unload passengers. I then tried to stop at many other points on the platform, but to no avail. I notice that the HST stop marker never reaches 0ft, you can’t get closer that 1ft no matter where you stop. Bit gutted not to complete the scenario after such a long drive!
Hi, I’m very sorry to hear that! There was an issue in an earlier version of this scenario where this happened, hence the custom stop marker to fix this issue. I believe it is an issue with the route itself. If you have a save of the scenario, you can try to reach Edinburgh, however try to stop and open the doors with 0.10 miles before the marker. Once again, I am very sorry!
Thanks, I saved at Newcastle, so I’ll have another go, thanks.
The scenario doesn’t work, it dumps as soon as it loads.
Do you have more than 8GB of RAM, and have you cleared the Train Sim cache before loading the scenario?
hi, Yes i have 16gb of ram, and have cleared cache its still dumps.
This might be an obvious question, but are you running 64 bit? Just want to be sure before trying to see if the issue can be resolved. It worked fine with myself and others testing the scenario, but I’ll see if there is anything else that can be done. Sorry for the trouble!
Yeah definitely running in 64 bit, at first i had a few requirements missing then i installed them, then once id installed them i started getting the access violation error about 2 secs after the scenario loaded. Thanks and No worries mate.
Hi, I’ve had the exact same problem. While looking for the problem, I’ve reinstalled these 2 (actually I’ve installed 4 versions):
DP Simulation – Class 365 ‘FCC Great Cities of Hertfordshire’
DP Simulation – Class 365 ‘FCC Peterborough’
Finchy – Class 185 ‘Desiro’ Pack
Also I reinstalled Class 365 AP from their website.
Then, instead of starting the scenario directly, I opened it with scenario editor, jump to couple of places on the map to see if the different trains loaded correctly and then started the scenario.
Hope it works.
It’s amazing btw, thanks LeanderIversen.
