I was really looking forward to driving on this package of scenarios but unfortunately for me at least I am unable to complete 4 out of the 7. My findings are below.
Part 1 – Runs and completes fine
Part 2 – I am still experiencing the derailment issue that others have mentioned. I have reinstalled the scenario but the same issue persists.
Part 3 – Runs and completes fine
Part 4 – The scenario starts as a rolling start but with both power cars shut down. I can drive it pretty much all the way except when I reach Leamington Spa, I am routed on to the fast line through the middle instead of in to the platform to pick up passengers. There is a red signal on the fast line and I am unable to proceed further. If I tab, I get permission denied and if I continue I derail on the points.
Part 5 – The scenario also starts as a rolling start with both power cars shut down. I can drive it to the last signal before the line from London Marylebone joins in to the North of Oxford but can go no further. The signal does not change from Red as the points in front are set for a service to depart Oxford heading for Marylebone. There is however no train in the platform at Oxford to facilitate this.
Part 6 – This scenario too starts with a rolling start with both power cars shut down. I can only make it as far as St Deny’s before reaching a red signal. There is a service from Cardiff Central to Portsmouth Harbour that runs in front of me followed by a service in the opposite direction that crosses in front of me. However, the signal still does not change to green after this nor can I request permission to pass it at danger. I get permission denied if I do this as the points in front of me do not change to allow my onward path to Southampton Central and beyond.
Part 7 – I have not attempted to drive this one yet but it launches fine with both power cars running and I can open the doors to allow passenger boarding at Wareham. I just need to wait the 5 minutes for my departure time to see if it will allow me to depart. When the scenario starts, the signal at the end of Wareham platform is at danger. I need to wait and see if it changes to green the closer to departure I get.
One other thing I have noticed is that with scenarios 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (the first 4 of which I am unable to complete), the distance markers in the bottom left hand corner of the HUD do not work. By this I mean that nothing shows in terms of distance between each stopping point nor does the ETA for each station show.
Apologies for the long response on this but do you have any ideas of what could be causing me these issues? Also, has anyone else had similar issues to me with the parts that I am unable to complete?
Many thanks.
Updated Part 2, it now appears to work, you need to re-download.
Hi Darren, I redownloaded as you suggest, but unfortunately had the same thing happen. Looking like it is a problem with my installation after all.
Pts 1 and 3 so far, very enjoyable. In part 2 as soon as the scenario loaded, being on the move, at the very first junction I got a derailment due to the junction switched against the player train. I wondered if anyone else had reported this problem Darren, or was it just my installation. Thank you for sharing.
