Take care, enjoy,

I really enjoyed playing this scenario keep up the good work
Thank you John, as always excellent and faultless. Scenario ran perfectly start to finish. Fortunately I didn’t have the problem that Tom had. Regards, Barrie.
Thank you Barrie, I’m delighted you enjoyed it and didn’t have any OOM issues either. As always, I really appreciate your comment and feedback.
Regards,
John.
I’m getting an out of memory error when trying to load this one john despite turning graphics down and having a decent PC, not sure why as this is a fairly stable route
Tom, sorry to hear you’re having OOM issues with this one. I can’t say I experienced any of that when making and testing it twice. I have fully populated the yards you pass with static AI though which will make it more resource heavy. I’ll quickly edit it and remove most of the static AI and add a second version to the download. Will pop you a FB message and comment on here when it’s been updated Tom, and hopefully that will help with the OOM.
Regards,
John.
Thanks, having similar issues to Tom.
Peter, please note the scenario has now been updated to include an AI lite version as well as the original download. Please redownload the scenario, and follow the instructions on this page (and included with the download) to install the AI lite version. As this removes almost all of the static AI, this should hopefully resolve your OOM issues. If you need any further help, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Regards,
John.
