Kinsgwear station

They aren't manual points though, so no user intervention is needed.

Ok I thought they were from the screenshot of the map, I'm not at home tonight so I couldn't verify.

The screenshot was from a free roam scenario, where all junctions are manually controlled.

That clarifies it then. Cheers.

For your scenario to work it has to programmed in a certain way because (as gptech says), there are no manual points. Tried a test scenario with a King and a C 37 loco.
1. P/U passenger at KW P 1.
2. Drop off instruction at KW P 1.
3. Stop at instruction (pointing hand icon), Platform head shunt.
4. Way point or Go via (Flag or Hand with mph) via KW P Loop.
5. Stop at inst; at any of the sidings by the signal box. (Or put your own marker in as above).
6. Add to front inst; at P 1.

Hope this helps.

The icon is the red flag, and is also known as a waypoint. If wherever you need to "go via" doesn't have a marker just add a destination marker as a scenario specific asset.

Slight problem, and it is probably me not seeing it straight. Every time I set up a scenario and click on the red flag it always says stop at wherever, and there is a marker for Platform 1 already.

God knows why you're getting a "stop at" notation, but as for there being an existing marker...

If wherever you need to "go via" doesn't have a marker just add a destination marker as a scenario specific asset.

That starts with "If"... it doesn't mean you have to add a new marker if one exists, as you'd just use the existing one which in this case isn't Kingswear Platform 1, but Kingswear Platform 1 Loop.

OK, to work through it from the start....

Default Kuju BR Blue class 47 and 3 MKI seconds, starting just outside Kingswear. Routed to pick up passengers from Kingswear Platform 1....
click on the red flag to add a "go via/waypoint"



Click on the red flag in the instruction listing to bring up the destinations box...



and then click the arrow to expand the destinations themselves.



scroll down the list and click on Kingswear Platform 1 Loop



You'll notice that there's no instruction to stop/go via the head shunt there, as jp suggested (step 3 in his list)---it's not always necessary to add that kind of instruction, but on testing the scenario it was shown that in this case one is needed as the points refused to budge without one.

So...back to the editor...

Click on the "stop at" icon and use the above procedure to set the destination as the headshunt



That instruction is in the wrong place though, it should be before the "go via the loop" instruction.
Click the box to the left of that "stop at", and use the "Up Arrow" button to shift it up the listing--it jumps up (or down if you use the "Down" arrow) by one step per mouse click.





The scenario is then finished off with a "Couple to the front of the loco" and a "Final destination"



and on running the scenario through you get...



Once again it differs from jp's instructions by not having a destination set for a stop before reversing (step 5 in his list) but there's nothing to say you couldn't or even shouldn't use one--I just prefer to keep things as simple as possible.

If you want to see the scenario in action on your own machine, and have a mess about with it, you can download it from https://ln.sync.com/dl/41d9443b0/tkpbqq ... n-4b7tp78e

Just extract the contents into your ..\Content\Routes\00000059-0000-0000-0000-000000002015\Scenarios folder. It will show in the Sceanrios listing as the imaginatively named "Test"

Nobody gets away with a bollocking in circumstances like this though; by all means ask if there's the possibility of a route or even the game having a fault, but please don't argue that it definitely does and we're all wrong when, by your own admission, you haven't enough experience/knowledge to work out what's what...

....with my limited knowledge I do not see a way around this problem.

....makes life a lot easier for everybody.

A very comprehensive, pictorial explanation of my instructions. Wish I could do that.

I do not get this number(Content\Routes\00000059-0000-0000-0000-000000002015\Scenarios folder) when I extract, I get this:-10bb1ce0-7e87-45c6-a0ea-87d9b2e7c623.

There are those that understand, and there are those who do not. On that basis I give up, and as Robert Matthew Cardine once said, "Dream Over".

For your information Mr. Padley, I never have, nor never will, play tennis.

End of!

You won't, that folder doesn't exist in the archive.

Just extract the contents into your ..\Content\Routes\00000059-0000-0000-0000-000000002015\Scenarios folder.

You extract the contents of the archive (which is just the scenario itself) into YOUR (existing) ..\..\Content\Routes\00000059-0000-0000-0000-000000002015\Scenarios folder.
