If you don’t have any of the requirements you can still play the scenario, just press F2 when the ‘Missing consist’ error comes up and click ‘cancel’ to bypass it.
Items with an asterisk (*) only feature fleetingly so are not required for full enjoyment of this scenario!
I’ve tried reinstalling the scenario twice but, it doesn’t appear in my scenario list, unfortunately.
I had a little look into this and I think it’s because I made this for an older version of XC Route so it gets put in a different folder! I’ll upload a version in the right folder and (fingers crossed) it should all work!
Really enjoyable scenario, thank you. Not driven to Chepstow before so messed up at Gloucester – swapped ends and started to drive to Bristol instead! Re-ran the scenario and made it to Cardiff on time. Recommended.
Thanks Alexander!
Just re-run this as far as Cheltenham Spa (er – oops!!) – the FGW 150/1 is still standing on the ballast between the main and the siding, coughing out an impressive cloud of white smoke, although it doesn’t show up on my 2D map at all – strange indeed! Checked my S9BL/…/VT directory – it’s there OK and works fine in QDs. Just two of TS2019’s mysteries I guess – got used to them over the years – no problem.
I think I’ve figured out the problem with the Class 150/1 – turns out the siding I placed it in when I made the scenario doesn’t actually exist in newer versions of XC Route – oops! I’ll upload a fixed version at some point!
Enjoyed this scenario, which was downloaded earlier from your website. Just a couple of oddities – I have the old 390 (with the Horgy reskin), but It says I’m missing Virgin 390s – also encountered a 150/1(?) standing on the ballast in the sidings just before Leamington Spa – neither of these were a big deal in a good scenario, just thought it was worth mentioning.
Thanks for downloading, glad you enjoyed it!
Not sure what’s going on with the 390, I had a look in RW_Tools and they all seem to be located in the S9BL/…/VT directory.
I’m guessing you mean Cheltenham Spa not Leamington! That 150/1 is meant to be there, he’s just chilling in the sidings as empty stock while waiting for you to go past!
