Hi Adam, I’m ready to give this a go, but I can’t get the train doors to open to begin with. Any idea what I might be getting wrong?
Thanks
Try reinstalling the Missing Link.
Doesn’t seem to have fixed it, but no real matter – the scenarion runs fine otherwise, and it’s stunning. Thanks, Adam
You’re welcome!
Fabulous 4 part scenario, I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
You’re welcome! It’s defo one of the best trains I’ve been on IRL!
Also got the issue where I can’t turn on the headlights or marker lights/turn off the tail lights, and can’t get it to move.
The player train uses the Mk3 DVT UNI variant to work with the Class 86 on the back. The headlights use the standard ‘H’ and ‘Shift+H’ keybinds.
also for the brakes, you have to hold release to get them to come off.
Thanks for this. Not got round to playing all 4 yet but have noticed that I can’t turn off the tail lights, or turn on the headlight and marker lights on the DVT. Is this due to scripting issues with the class 86, or am I missing something obvious??
Same issue. Also out of Liverpool Lime St the throttle wouldnt go to 100% it capped at 36? Is this normal?

For the limited throttle, this is explained in the F1 briefing.
I completed all 4 parts, it was a lovely drive. Really enjoyed the scenario with all the AI!
glad to hear you enjoyed it!
