I am not a happy camper, after getting to within 4.3 miles of my destination with this scenario, it crashed and I get a message that said" some thing bad happened to your file would you like to save it" which I did but where is it?.
I would also like to add that this is quite a boring trip at 25 miles per hours, also has any body figured out why TS 2012 has that annoying habit of cutting out momentarily ir is it my computer?.
Any suggetsions please.
Thanks
Bill Webb

This doesn't actually answer your question, but let me just note that there is a way to cut travel time in long, boring scenarios. On the settings screen (the one where you select TSX), check the EnableAsyncKeys option. If the scenario you're running dumps you into an overly long run between points of interest, press Ctrl/Shift/2 to double the rate of play. You can keep accelerating up to Ctrl/Shift/5. This speeds up the game without increasing the trains' acceleration. Warning: keep an eye on changing speed limits and manual switch changes!!!!!

Thanks for this tip are there any other options that we can use in the the EnableAsyncKeys option? Are any of these tips documented anywhere?
BTW just completed your HSC scenario the repair jobs - fantastic - thanks
