Hello,
Scenario was okay for some of it, the issues I have were the following:
> Unnecessary Waypoints – Not entirely sure why there were waypoints placed at stations, this tends to throw a few people off that they need to stop there and there were WPs all between BHM and Barnt Green, additionally a waypoint placed right in front of a red signal telling you to TAB it and could only be achievable by stopping in front of it which seemingly put the whole timetable into thinking we were going to be delayed, I would’ve personally set this message up further away from the signal to have time to prepare for it and set the “mph” limit to 1 as its only a player train and the minimum to achieve the hidden tick.
> Routing Issue – To carry on the topic of waypoints, you should’ve checked the whole routing as you are forced to go Worcester Shrub Hill and reverse to Foregate Street rather than go via the Tunnel Jn Chord, a waypoint there would have sufficed (https://gyazo.com/281b45f93b2d7411da1a2857e32f4d58).
> Lastly, it seems there’s something that will delay the service going into Hereford (as judged by the final instruction opposing the pick up instruction @ Hereford) so I would probably double check that if it’s unintentional. https://gyazo.com/ed90104340e9a18399de141f1604b4d1
Thank you Cranky, for the constructive criticism, this is exactly the type of comment I hoped to get, I will make sure to improve on future scenarios and will take these into mind, I made this scenario by following your guide, but anyway thanks for the feedback 🙂
Having s bit of an issue with this one, scenario starts to load then get a black screen, nothing happens then sim CTD. Have all requirements, seems unusual to crash with only a dozen services in it, other scenarios on the route are fine, have tried re-installing but still doing it. TSC throwing a wobbly again I guess.
I had no issues on this scenario when testing. Theres only around 12 AI like you mentioned because it was a quiet time on the line. I think its just TS being dumb, sorry to hear this 🙁
