How do you get the Anglia logo on the centre windscreen, as in your picture?

Hi Poolecj, thanks for uploading this pack. I’m afraid I’ve been having issues with every scenario. Every scenario I’ve tried has a pathing issue where a set of points is against me, usually the first set of points my route would encounter. Sometimes it’s a set of points that needs to be against me initially, such as in 1P32, where a couple of AI services arrive before I leave, and sometimes it’s a set of points where no AI services pass over; they’re just set wrongly. I’ve had a read through all the comments already here about various similar issues people have been having, and I’ve tried some of those fixes, such as reinstalling, and making sure I have all the requirements (which I do). I’ve never encountered any initial-load errors – the scenarios load fine with no missing stock, and all the AI services behave exactly as I would expect.
The only other thing I’d say is that the 86 seems to behave a bit unusually – when I load in it’s always the wrong way around (so ‘2’ is the rear of the train) but I wondered if you’d done this intentionally for pantograph orientation, etc, and the guard buzzer is always sounding continually. Pressing the buzzer stops it. I’ve tried swapping the loco in the editor for the same loco and moving the instructions across but this doesn’t change anything. Is there anything that could be different between my install and yours that would be causing these repetitive issues? Or is there an easy-ish way for me to just force-change these points in the scenario? Many thanks
Thank you for your comment. From what I can tell, your game/the scenarios seem to be loading completely fine in terms of no missing stock. It was brought to my attention that a few users had pathing issues with a few of the scenarios which I did release a patch for. Although, sadly due to the nature of train sim then particularly on intensive scenarios such as on the GEML, some users still encounter issues. I’ve ran all the scenarios numerous times both before and after releasing this scenario pack and at my end everything works completely fine. Sadly the consequence of this is that it’s impossible for me to diagnose and fix any issues specific users may have.
In regards to the No.2 end leading in some scenarios, this is perfectly intentional. The signal buzzer is another issue people have raised which again I can’t seem to be able to recreate at my end. Pressing the ‘C’ key should silence it.
Whilst I admit this response probably isn’t the perfect answer in terms of fixing the issues as such, at this point sadly as mentioned there really isn’t a lot I can do. If I was able to recreate these issues at my end it would be a different answer and I’d be able to provide a more helpful response in terms of a fix however from what I’ve gathered, if you’re one of the unlucky users where the scenarios refuse to work as they should do then sadly unless you are able to edit the scenario and fix the issue yourself then they will have to remain unplayable. Sorry about this.
Hi mate, thanks for your quick reply! Good to know that the No.2 end was supposed to be leading! I’ve been playing this game for a good while now and I’m more than familiar with its tendency to produce issues for different people. I may look into trying to fix them but if not I shalln’t lose too much sleep. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying your other packs, like the WCML o/Shap, which seem to be working fine. Many thanks for your time! Ollie
No worries at all mate! Thank you for your understanding, it’s greatly appreciated. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed some of my other packs and I’m glad that they all work fine too. Many thanks for your reply! Poolecj
I’m sorry to say that both GEML scenarios are both broken at my end. I have no path to leave Liverpool Lime Street (1P32) and there is a red light at the end of platform 3 at Colchester and no path to leave (1P47). I’ve reinstalled numerous times and still no joy. I think I’ll give up for now.
Sorry, that should be Liverpool St not Lime Street!
Sorry to hear you are still having issues. Sadly the 1P32 scenario is one of those issues which a few people get but not everybody. As everything works fine at my end and other users haven’t had the issue then sadly there’s not a lot I can do in terms of bug fixing. As for the 1P47 scenario I released a fix for that the other day, so please ensure you have downloaded the latest version. If it’s still not working then sadly the only thing I can say is then unfortunately you will indeed have to give it a miss.
Seem to have a issue with the 1P32 scenario. The starting signal at liverpool street will stay red with no route being called for the player train. Waited about 7 mins after departure time also to see if it was to do with AI services. Any help of advice please?
Sadly this is one of those issues which a few people get but not everybody. As everything works fine at my end and other users haven’t had the issue then sadly there’s not a lot I can do in terms of bug fixing. The only thing I would ask is are you missing any requirements?
Where is the 47 AP for the 5Z86 – 14:00 Crewe C.S. to Carnforth,but I do have all the requirments for this 86 pack?
It should be part of the AP Class 40 Extra Stock pack (I’ve stupidly missed this from the list), although any other AP Packs with a BR Blue 47 reskin should also work. I’ll get the requirements list updated as I release the next update. Sorry for the inconvenience but I hope my answer helps.
Gonna join the bandwagon of 1P47 issues and say I had the same issue with the route at Colchester being blocked by the 1538 Liverpool Street to Colchester Town service. Didn’t have any issues on the other GEML one however.
Thanks for letting me know. I’m working on a fix for this just now. Keep an eye out for this download being updated and I should have it all sorted.
On the 5N20 scenario the coaches are at
AP\BRMk2Pack01\RailVehicles\Mk2\Virgin\Assets\AP\BRMk2Pack01\RailVehicles\Mk2\Virgin\BSO\Mk2e_bso.bin
AP\BRMk2Pack01\RailVehicles\Mk2\Virgin\Assets\AP\BRMk2Pack01\RailVehicles\Mk2\Virgin\FO\Mk2e_fo.bin
AP\BRMk2Pack01\RailVehicles\Mk2\Virgin\Assets\AP\BRMk2Pack01\RailVehicles\Mk2\Virgin\RFO\Mk2e_rfo.bin
which seems a funny place to put them.
Ok thanks for the info. This may explain why others had issues with the Mk2s. I’ll be honest I’m at a bit of a loss here. In my DLC directory I don’t have the ‘duplicate’/bizzare file path, instead the file path is as it should be, yet it still loads fine at my end. Additionally, the coaches used are identical to the ones in 1C20. It’s safe to say I am equally as confused as to what is happening but I’ll do some investigating nevertheless.
Update: I’ve found the issue. I’ll roll the update out and hopefully the download will be reapproved ASAP.
Just tried to do the second scenario on the GEML, 1P47 and the path into Colchester Platform 3 is blocked to the player train. Something weird is going on.
Again, this scenario was tested thoroughly with no such issues. As with my advice for your issue with the other scenario, it may be worth reinstalling and also ensuring you have all the requirements. Also as Colchester seems to be the mutual issue, have you got any route modifications to the GEML installed as if so then perhaps that has altered the pathing.
Thank you for the reply. I have all the requirements to run the scenario. The only modification I have is the Mayflower Line scenery extension from Just Trains, but this only adds scenery and I’ve not encountered problems running any other scenarios on this route. I will try and reinstall the pack this evening and if that fails, I will remove the Mayflower scenery.
No problem at all. Hmm the Mayflower line certainly doesn’t sound like it would be responsible for the issues that you are encountering although hopefully the reinstallation will cure the problem.
Just tried the scenario SP01 1P32 and I cannot leave Liverpool St Station, I have no path to Colchester…not sure why?
As with all the scenarios, I have tested them fully with no such issues. The only thing I can suggest is perhaps try reinstalling. Also are you missing any of the scenario requirements as that can often be the cause of a scenario playing up.
I’ve just finished one of the virgin runs and went to do the ECS back and it can’t find the virgin MK2’s even though I just used them on the other run..
Even on a fresh install of the Mk2 pack, the Mk2s appear in both scenarios fine for me and use the same coach blueprints in both cases. What exactly does the error say when you try and load the scenario?
Consist Builder- Can’t load rail vehicle- AP Mk2e.
it says that for the BSO, FO and RFO
Ok thanks for finding that out. Did it specify a specific livery (e.g. the red/black livery or the IC livery)? Also is it an issue with the player train or an AI train? The coaches used are the exact same ones as the previous scenario so if possible it might be worth pressing F2 then Cancel and drive the scenario anyway if possible in case it is just the simulator throwing random, false erros at you. I hope this helps.
the coaches where red/black and pressing f2 results in no train being seen.
Ok I’ve now found the issue. I’ll get this update rolled out just now and hopefully the download will be reapproved ASAP.
I appear to be missing Scotrail Sleepers on both 0S26 and 5S26, I have redownloaded James Ivell’s sleepers and the same error gets thrown up, I can’t figure out what I’m missing. Any help would be appreciated.
The sleeper coaches are the ones reskinned by the AP Class 90/Mk3 DVT pack. The base model for these is the EWS Class 67 pack on Steam. Therefore you’ll need the 67 for the coaches to appear. By all means though feel free to swap them out with the James Ivell reskinned ones. Hope this helps.
I have both packs, I’m still missing 6 “BR Mk3 SLEP Scotrail” sleepers. Might just have to swap them for James Ivell’s own sleepers.
Oh dear, sorry about that. I’m really not sure what is going on then. Please do swap them out for James Ivell’s ones if that works for you.
