Hello! This is one scenario for JT’s “Midland Mainline” route…

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 1Z21 PRE-LOAD standard scenario. Have a fly around Derby once spawned in and follow each of the tracks away from the station for a few miles and allow the game to load in the problem ‘tiles’. Then, exit and load 1Z21 as normal and it *should* work.
