Convert Career Scenario to Standard

[chrisonline]

This tip is not for the afficionados here, for whom this is probably second nature, but for those like me who every now and again have "a-ha" moments while tinkering!

If you are annoyed at scenarios in the Career menu because (a) you like all your scenarios in one place; and (b) you perhaps aren't bothered about Career mode anyway; then you can easily do the following:-

1. Copy & paste the route in the same folder, changing the complex file name (for convention, I just change the first 6 digits to aaaaaa so that I can easily identify the origin)

2. Under <ID> at the top of the XML listing, change <DevString d:type="cDeltaString">4e609076-a9b8-4381-b427-122d00b07513</DevString> (yours will have a different set of digits matching the original file name) to match the same file name you created in (1) above

3. Change <ScenarioClass d:type="cDeltaString">eCareerScenarioClass</ScenarioClass>
to <ScenarioClass d:type="cDeltaString">eStandardScenarioClass</ScenarioClass>

On re-starting TS2014, you will have retained the Career scenario, but will now also have the route available as a Standard scenario and appearing in the Standard menu
