With Everton playing Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley various extra trains were put on to transport fans down to the capital.

Unfortunately I’m getting out of memory dumps too. I tried a couple workarounds, including creating a blank scenario in the editor at Lime Street then double tapping this one (so that the route is already loaded) but I got a dump.
Interestingly I only get this problem on WCML Midlands and Northwest Phase 3 – phase 2 was absolutely rock solid. The scenario has to have a realistic amount of AI before this happens. Can’t tell if it may be down to some stock that appears exclusively on the scenario itself, which I could reinstall or some assets on the route (trees, grass etc). Any ideas? I raised it on the Phase 3 route page but nothing has ever been fixed. Quite frustrating when you’ve forked out the money for the subscription and the product doesn’t work properly
It’s odd. I too only seem to have this problem with this route – I assumed it might be down to the route needing to load assets from a lot of different folders. Hopefully its something that can be fixed as it does sometimes limit the amount of stock you can put in a scenario.
i loaded scenario up and NO missing stock.all went fine.thx
Great to hear, thanks 🙂
I’m having the exact same problem as Jamie. I’ve tried swapping it for the MJW 390 using TS TOOLS, but the scenario still dumps literally as the cab view loads! Could just be TS being TS, but I’ve unistalled & reinstalled a number of times over the last couple of days with no joy. Something I’ve never had an issue with before. Very odd.
I had a few issues when testing it and found that if you load the route in the editor, then load the scenario (can be worth loading the scenario in editor first, then pressing play). Seems to be on the edge of the limit for TS!
Not sure about the 390 problem – it looks like it should come from the Horgy reskin, unless its from an AP pack but I haven’t a clue which one!
Hope some of that is helpful!
Just to let you know the scenario has been updated which should fix the issue with the 390 no driver variant
I’m having problems with this scenario mate, on load up i have the following ‘missing item’ message:
Class 390 K DMRFO Virgin [Open] nd. ( i have the horngy pack installed)
after a split second the sim them Dumps to desktop
The 390 issue seems strange – the path for it should be which looks like it should come from the Horgy reskin: S9BL\Class390Addon\RailVehicles\Electric\Class390\VT\DMRFO\Class390DMRFO_openhatch_nd.xml
Regarding the dumping – I had this issue as well. Have you tried loading the route first, then loading the scenario (sometimes in editor then pressing play). It’s pretty resource heavy!
strange question , The missing 390 is a No Driver variant whereas the horgy pack dosen’t have a no driver varient within the pack.
Could this be the issue, if so do you know where the No driver varient can be found ?
That’s a good point – I hadn’t realised that! I’ve looked into it and have no idea where the no driver variant comes from. I’ll swap it out and re-upload shortly. Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Just to let you know the scenario has been updated which should fix the issue with the 390 no driver variant
This is a CRACKING scenario. Superb AI, no tabbing of signals, and on the WCML! Thoroughly recommend this one. 10/10
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
