Clinchfield route-very heavy freight scenario (Elkhorn-Boody) broken?

[HighBypass]

I ran it twice now today. The fist time I made good time in getting to Berta junction. 16:49 came and went and the Collco train still didn't move. The second time I ran the scenario, the Collco train moved as expected..... BUT the train which should move into Delano did not and I was left waiting at the Delano red to no avail. I wonder if the wheelslip is random too? The second time, I only got to Berta about 3 minutes late..

Also when I ran the scenario the ETA for Delano said 16:09 which was prior to my departure time! The second time I ran the scenario, after going into it in the editor to look at the instructions on my train (not that i know what I'm looking for lol, and then coming out of the editor so the scenario reset, the ETA was at a more realistic 17:00 (no more Back To The Future!)

Wow that's weird. You should probably contact the creator

With workshop scenarios, you learn to shrug and move on.

I have reported the Berta Junction train stopped at the red signal to the author. Also, I see someone else has reported a lot of faults to the author too.

[trev123]

I got up to Berta Junction for the second time and stopped at the red and waited for about ten minutes or so then the sound went all funny making a buzzing sound then a screen came up saying that your device has encountered a problem and needs to reset. I think it is about time to unsubscribe from this WS scenario.

Thanks. I know what you mean, but it seems to me that DTG hardly listen when we voice complaints regarding new routes/scenarios they release. I say hardly, because apparently sometimes stuff does get patched (Birmingham Cross City I believe). buzz456 does have a point I think; the real complaining should be directed to the developers of the payware although we might be able to vent (a little!) to fellow users.
There is a great modding and editing community here - swapping rolling stock and other things seems to be de rigeur, so some people can, and do, fix broken scenarios quite quickly if they have the time. Not for me as yet! I am trying to learn (have a couple more questions in my Cab Forward on Donner Pass thread).

Out of curiosity I had a quick look at the WS scenario ( subject of this post) in the scenario editor.
Only the Player train (P) is scheduled to move. There are no Ai trains programmed to move at all. There are at least a dozen clashes with static consists flagged up as warnings.
Best to unsubscribe from this one unless you fancy a challenge fixing it yourself.

As a note, for the first few years I played TS I also had the if it's broken they should fix it attitude. Over the years I have accepted reality as it applies to TS. It may not ever be fixed or someone here will post a fix. If it can't be fixed I just move on to the next scenario. With so many talented people on this site usually someone comes through. If it is within my pay grade I will attempt to fix and let others how. If it is broken for me is it broken for others, a little research will clear this up. Not worth getting my skivvies in a knot. With 19 routes and who knows how many scenarios I will find something to make me smile and keep me off the streets.

This has nothing to do with DTG but is a workshop scenario. Have you not read previous posts?

[HighBypass]

Considering this is a thread that I started then yes, I've read the posts. Someone said that, with workshop scenarios, one learns to shrug and move on. It was I who stated that with some DLCs, i.e. payware, one also learns to shrug and move on, thus the conversation diverged a little into broken payware. Some posts have been deleted.

[buzz456]

Just for the record it was not I who did the deleting.

Buzz,

Not a problem for me. No fingers were pointed. Forums all have their own rules and the mods would just be doing their jobs
