Did you clear the blueprints cache?

Hi pretent

If you have not already done this, verify your games cache with Steam.

Your problem, though, sounds a bit more like a PhysX matter. If the game crashes when you select a loco then this is often an indication of something wrong with your PhysX driver. You may need to download and install the driver again. I would suggest you first verify your games cache with Steam before doing anything with your driver though.

No problems opening and running the route here, and it looks very good.

However, it does make a mess of RW Tools. Although it is installed in the folder 00000009-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 in Routes, the DevString in RouteProperties.xml is 2e185bdc-1c2f-455c-870d-54d3643abe57. I don't know if this is intentional, but it means that RW Tools can't find the folder to examine the route/scenarios, because it is looking for a folder called 2e185bdc-1c2f-455c-870d-54d3643abe57, and that doesn't exist.

As far as I can see, in all other routes the folder name and DevString are identical.

And yes, I have verified my cache files in Steam.

Lots of steam and early diesels from 1959 to 1963.

I did try the shunter 07 scenery (out to sea), and like others it derailed. After dropping the wagons at Phorum siding 4, i raced uphill and at top of the hill i kind of bumped into something. I did cross this place several times before.
Two other things i noticed in the same scenario is, that i failed dropping the wagons at Phorum siding 4 because i dropped the last car instead of all 4, and i didn't get another chance, even though i picked up all cars again and tried to drop them once more.

Besides that i love it, and thinks it can be used for a lot of fun and great scenarios.
Are there any restrictions on the assets or can it be used freely in other routes and scenarios? I cant find anything in the manual, and figures that it follows the same rules as standard RW assets!

Hi pretent

Great news. I am not an expert on drivers but I remember this problem from the Rail Simulator days.

Hi All

I too have a problem with the 07 Shunter scenario. I found that by uncoupling the last wagon I was able to move off so it seems that the last wagon is hitting something.

Adam is looking into the setup of this wagon.

Due to time frame in making this I am not that surprised of a few small issues. Please report them to us and we will update next week.

regards

Nothing to do with Steam, more to do with Adam...
I give him grief but he and Dan have been stars on this project.
There so many last minute fixes for that route once we got to the bottom of the problems.
The scenarios were removed and I thought the trams, We will still be updating the addon next week.

cheers

I got the trams too, one works perfectly, sounds doors etc the other (with the nuber 1050) doesn't have a whistle sound and the doors don't open at stops. They both however seem to have a little too much accelleration, and no chance of using just 5% power, which I would prefer. (Managed to get the "decent" one to spin it's wheels on the Prom from a standing start by accidentally holding the A button down too long :( ) Could these be edited to give a better (one press) accelerator without having to hold A down for so long?
