NOTES: 

This scenario is heavily resource intensive. Therefore, to run this scenario you MUST first run the included 9T24 PRE-LOAD free roam scenario. Have a fly around between the spawn location at Birmingham to Soho and the Wolves direction and follow each of the tracks for a few miles and allow the game to load in the problem ‘tiles’. Then, exit and load 9T24 as normal and it *should* work. Failing that, please try adjusting your graphics settings and repeat the above.
