Ridgeway Services (AutoDrive) Scenario

[emrhd01]

I noticed that today a different type of Scenario has been uploaded to the Workshop for the Ridgeway Route (which is also available in the Workshop).
The following is taken from the Authors description:

Consider this being an EXPERIMENTAL scenario: Either you may drive a Class 37 as usual and your task is to get freight from Lydcott close to the harbour in Dingley or - whenever you want - you may activate "AutoDrive" and your Class-37 drives autonomously.
Besides various speed-limits, "AutoDrive" also takes care about signals and reacts accordingly. Whenever you like, you can switch off "AutoDrive" and drive on your own.
Charming side-effect of this is that you have the freedom to enjoy the scenery via external look 2/3/4 or free-camera "8" and actually see yourself coming or stopping at a signal and proceeding once allowed. Ideal for snapshots or in case you would like to create a video clip about your trip.

I really enjoyed this alternative style of Scenario and thought others may also like to try it and may have missed seeing it.

The above Scenario has plenty of 'AI' traffic interacting with the Player consist.

The Ridgeway Route is a very well made Route with great atmosphere and there are 'normal' Scenarios also available in the Workshop for the Route.

I'm interested in what others have to say about it.

Many thanks go to Coasty and Heyjoe

Wasn't that feature introduced in one of the Thomson Swiss routes? I liked it. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for that information Martin, I wasn't aware it had been done before.
