Post by orangzeb »

Hi,

I have tried this out and I did not have any problem thus far. You didn't really explain what you have done but once you get to Evercreech Junction platform 2 you have to make sure that the last carriage is past the points ( they should change automatically ) to get to the middle siding to drop off the passenger carriages as per the instructions. Once you do that and get the message you did it ok, move forward back to platform 2 and the points should change allowing you to reverse back to couple to the freight wagons as per the instructions. You couple up to them and then you can continue on to the next drop off siding at Cole.

I hope this helps

John

Thanks for replying mate, but this scenario is making me sick, tried it 100 times already , no way I can get to evercreech new 2 without breaking speed limited (70,30,70) If I try to maintain the speed I don't get there in time, so... I think I suck on driving steam locomotives, unstoppable , uncontrollable stupid old rigs..

plz help me and upload a video of this scenario on youtube.. Thanks

Having read through this thread I thought I would try this scenario, which I have now "passed". Keeping to timetable, within the speed limits and stopping at stations in time proved quite demanding initially, as I had to restart the scenario two or three times to get it right. It is, after all, classified as a "hard" scenario.
I had no problems accessing the sidings at Evercreech Junction: I used the 2D view to help locate them.
Do try it again, Orangzeb - I think patience will win the day!

@ ash : Okay sorry

no man , I tried this scenario 5 times last night, still no luck thus far, I know it says hard but I completed many hard scenarios, this one is rather too tough for me or there is a bug in this scenario which does not let you complete by keeping tough timings and speed limits..

Finally Finished it, to help peoples :

-always keep your hand on the brakes ! (apply , release, apply, release)
-try to keep up with speed limits for example if it's 70 then stay around 68, etc
-100% apply the brakes when your destination is 0.7 Mile away

can't wait for railworks 3 :drinking:

In case anyone is still interested, I've actually made a video of how I ran (most of) this scenario. Unfortunately it's too long for YouTube, so instead I've made a torrent of it:

The sound goes out of sync by a few seconds, unfortunately, but it is close enough to make sense most of the time.

awesome... now this is helping out ppl , thanks :fadein: but there's no way anyone would download 445 MB, just compress the video using format factory or something else and upload it to hotfile.. im sure you can bring down the size to 40 mb or less :new-bday:

I've already compressed it pretty heavily. There is no way that a 35-minute video will fit in 40MB and still be worth watching.

okay then please upload it to hotfile or megaupload from where I can download at full speed, as I can not download torrents at high speeds ! I will try to upload the video to youtube using adobe premiere and aftereffects then. Thanks
