I made a big mistake creating a long scenario using a QD Template instead of a standard one in the Montana Link RR. I tried to change it with RW_Tools but no result as in the scenario editor. Any hint for that one would be appreciated!!

I don't think it can be done. Everything I have tried over the past 2 years has failed

Thanks Overshoe for reply. By the way, is there a way to start the scenario on QD mode instead of scenario editor? The only way I found is to go in scenario editor for starting the scenario.

Does the scenario show up in the QD menu? Probably not, because you probably placed a train like you would in a standard scenario, instead of a player spawn marker.

If you remove the player train and place a player spawn marker, AND a destination, you can then use the scenario in quick drive.

You will need to also select a player train consist to start the scenario.

This is the best you tube tutorial I have found for quick drives. Its all UK stuff but the principles are well illustrated. I've watched it a couple dozen times and find new stuff every time.

Many thanks Overshoe for the link! Will be useful for sure. It's a surprise to learn that you can see a ''scenario'' showing up in QD mode! All I can see in QD mode is choosing a Locomotive, a route and a consist but no scenario showing up. Maybe I have still a lot to learn in Train simulator!!

Hi M. Overshoe! I found a simple way to change QD scenario into a standard one! Let me know if you are still interested

Definitely interested. Please post it here so everyone can try it.

Yes of course I'll post it on the forum for any one interested. Open RW_Tools and go to the folder of the QD scenario you want to change, then open the xml file called ScenarioProperties.xml. Make a search of that key word: ScenarioClass. Now that become interesting, all QD scenario are written that way: ''eTemplateScenarioClass'' while the standard ones are written: ''eStandardScenarioClass.

- « Quick Drive » mode :

<ScenarioClass d:type="cDeltaString">eTemplateScenarioClass</ScenarioClass>

- « Standard » mode :

<ScenarioClass d:type="cDeltaString">eStandardScenarioClass</ScenarioClass>

All you have to do is changing the word ''Template'' for ''Standard'' and saving the file in RW_Tools. You're done. Go to Trains Simulator and you'll find the scenario in the ''Standard'' area. As simple as that! I tried it last night and it works fine.

Sounds good. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

I got it working. Thanks much. I spent hours fooling with the Quick Drive lines at the bottom and missed the template completely.
Some of the QD features like AI & random static spawn don't work but placing stuff and giving AI instructions is a simple process.

Thanks again, this will come in handy.

What I find great in that is the fact that you can use all loose consists already installed in QD scenarios which save you lot of time.
