Scenarios not showing in game

AFAIK that's the way the game works with timetabled scenarios. A fair number of the scenarios that come with......

I can't get my head around the fuzzy logic that dictates that if a 3rd party product doesn't work as expected, it simply has to be because of a shortcoming in the game.

Timetabled, and Standard with timed instructions, scenarios show in the Standard section of the Drive menu---only Career has it's own section. For a scenario to show in that list the game has to be able to find it's details, and one of those details is the loco/unit that you drive...

What I've just noticed is that the Train Name column for the errant scenarios are all blank

The game doesn't guess, computers don't guess--the old acronym of GIGO still holds. Give it the information and it'll work.

Correction to my previous statement. In the current version of the game the timetabled scenarios do show if you click on the route's icon but what doesn't seem to work, for the DTG Riviera Line at least, is bringing up the Standard scenarios screen and then typing Riviera Line in the search box. Nothing is returned which is what I've found with previous versions. I assume the search fails if there are no Standard scenarios for the route only Timetabled ones. Shortcoming of the game or a 3rd party problem?

You're adding another level of filtering by searching though, Scenarios marked as Standard show, as do Standard Scenarios with timed instructions. That suggests that the filtering added checks the

Code: Select all

	<ScenarioClass d:type="cDeltaString">eStandardScenarioClass</ScenarioClass>

statement in the scenarios ScenarioProperties.xml file, or such a reference in the SDBCache.

How often do you search for a route?...it's probably quicker and easier to just flick through the routes in the menu, at most you only have to go 50% of the way through the entire catalogue as it's bi-directional.
