P42DC/Superliner addon pros & cons

[johnmckenzie]

I beg to differ. That's Phil, before he lost his hair, sitting in the abacab. The other guy is obviously Peter Gabriel in disguise.

And they're clearly counting out time...

Also - has anyone else run into this: In the Riding the Chief (#4 EB) scenario I hit a red signal @ MP 38 (Frost Switch) and got - well - stuck. The switch was set for me - but there was on-coming traffic labelled BNSF 8340 that was blocking my track and not moving.

Yeah, I ran into that one as well.

In the winter scenario I was rammed by an empty coal train whilst held at a red.

I have now run both scenarios without a single issue. OK, except for speeding.

That's going to generate a lot of paperwork!

Is that what they call a "green sheet" like in that movie "unstoppable"?

Great to hear.

All the others who have problems: Did you save the scenario at some point and then quit the game/scenario? - Later you did continue from the saved point?
This could be a cause for the problems.

[arizonachris]

Yes, I did have to save and continue. It's a 120 minute scenario! Had to run to the grocery store. Got back, continued, and ran fine. I have seen this on several other long scenarios as well. Maybe RW gets tired after an hour? I know I do.

Myself: negative. I ran the scenario straight through (until said red light encounter) I did hit pause a couple of times, but no save/exit.

I think maybe the engineer on the reefer just got tired & fell asleep. It was getting rather late after all.

[chrisreb]

Yes I did a save and came back in another session. Ok will wait until I have plenty of time and see if I can run directly past this point.

[Samwolf]

My "con" is that the auto brake lever on Raildriver does not register.

All other controls work fine.

Great looking engine and passenger cars !!

[bigphill]

Hi all
I played right thru to that red ,then saved and exited then continued and all was well.Also the raildriver works fine with the 390/57 drivers loaded up. all round a great effort

Regards....Phill

When playing the Ridin the Chief scenario I had to resume from a save and knew I need to save at a red light near Victorville. However when about 5 miles from Victorville the scenario ended with AI BNSF Refridgerator Left path error.

Is this just a symptom of the scenario being unstable from a save?

That's the guy who fell asleep at the controls when I played! He's a menace!!

I have tried various changes to get the #8340 to move with no luck. Then I decided to run the scenario without moving the player train from the start point. Watching on the 2D map #8340 moved on time. There may be some issue between #8340 and the player path.
