Notes:
> SPAD-ing – On only one occasion this should occur throughout the entire scenario. This happens in Part 4 just north of Bilsworth Sidings. A waypoint has been deployed near this red signal to remind you to press TAB.
> Due to the current absence in TSC with the Class 88s, Northern’s Civities, and TfW’s Class 197, these trains are instead represented by the AP Class 68, MajorWales’ Arriva Northern Class 170 Reskin, and CLOWES TfW Class 158, respectively.
> I haven’t included any stationary rolling stock around Basford Hall and the surrounding area, since this can have a detrimental effect on frame rates for some people.
HOW TO INSTALL:
1) Download and extract the provided zip file, where you will find 4 separate folders corresponding to each of the 4 parts of the scenario.
2) Within these separate folders, navigate to their individual ‘Contents’ folders. Simply drag these ‘Contents’ folders into your railworks folder, and the scenario should be installed!
ENJOY!
Hi there,
I have purchased the AP 390 pack and the MWD revamp.
When I try and load the scenario there is no option to add the 390 to drive it if that makes any sense. All my downloaded content is there to see in quick drive but nowhere else. When I boot the scenario obviously I’m just stuck at Glasgow central with no train.
Some Help would be greatly appreciated, cheers
Unfortunately I am getting a missing/broken consist error: Class 66 DBC (L4) AP which i guess indicates the armstrong powerhouse class 66… which I have including all the requirements… so not sure why its doing that.
An colossal achievement providing for a hugely enjoyable end-to-end drive. Many thanks!
Great scenario, start to finish. Thank you.
I’m not sure what it is and I have tried everything I can think of to resolve this issue I am experiencing. Basically, all parts of the scenario will load fine without any errors. However, I cannot get the Pendolino to move. In fact the only keyboard command that works is pressing the ‘T’ to open the doors. The scenario loads with the Pendolino in Neutral instead of the usual Off and with the pantograph lowered. I am unable to activate the Master Key (which is set to off) with the usual keyboard command of Shift and W which means I cannot set the reverser to Forward, cancel the AWS and any other warnings that sound. The headlights, marker lights and taillights are also all illuminated.
I am not sure if I am missing something that is missing on the spec list but wondered if you had any ideas as to what the issue could be and what I need to do to resolve this as I was looking forward to attempting this scenario.
Other scenarios that utilise the same stock as this (which is presume is the stock taken from the WCML South pack on DTG) are working fine.
I’ve had this problem before. I simply reinstalled the AP 390 Sound Pack and the MJW revamp pack and everything seemed to be working again. Hope that helps 🙂
Cheers. I will give it a try and see what happens. I’ll probably remove the scenario at the same time and reinstall that from scratch as well.
Sound mate. Let me know how it goes! Hope you enjoy
Many thanks for your tip on this. I deleted the 4 parts from my installation, reinstalled the AP 390 Sound Pack and the MJW Revamp pack and I am now able to drive the Pendolino.
One question I have though is around the Pendolino itself. Is it supposed to have the Avanti West Coast Branding on it or is this supposed to be missing? I ask as for me, there is no branding on any of the 4 parts. Other scenarios I have downloaded from ATS that have the MJW Revamp Pack and AP Sound pack have the branding present (1H24 by MrDreamLiner being the one I have tested) so I was just curious. It won’t stop me enjoying the drives though.
Nice scenario Thankyou for providing it
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoyed
A couple of the scenarios unzip to the Content/Routes folder, rather than the Content/Routes/Scenarios folder.
Apologies. Will get this sorted as soon as possible.
Issue is now sorted
