I've heard that from a couple people, so I updated the package to include a separate version of the scenario without the abstudios stack trains, hopefully that fixes the issues.

Thank you you sir. I know there have been a few patches released to address the auto rack issue.. Downloading the old pack to use the NS units probably set the models back to default. Something I didn't think of at the time. If you have the old version still, I'd like to get it and test that theory.

Ma'am* No worries though. The updated copy currently available includes both the versions with and without the ABstudios stack trains

You may want to look at this scenario further. The light version is crashing on me as well. I'm not sure what the heck is wrong.

That sucks to hear, unfortunately I get the feeling it's mostly just a result of a somewhat resource intensive scenario with resource intensive stock on a resource intensive (and potentially unstable) route. I don't think there's really anything I can do to improve things further.

I do understand. And being the the game platform itself is very old, it's gonna give you issues that are beyond the end users control. There have been a few times I'd get the game going. As son as I'd cross the bridge after leaving the yard, the scenario would crash. My system is pretty much up to date.

What are your graphic settings in the game?

I run basically everything on max, but I've got a pretty powerful PC

I got the light version to run with no issues. Even swap an NS SD70 for one of the CP version and played it a second TIME. I did get version one to run a few times but it would crash after leaving the initial yard and crossing the bridge. I have pretty decent specs for my pc 💻 and a 4070 RTX 12gb card, 32 gigs of ram, and I set up a large page frame

Huh, you've got similar specs to me, I've got a 3080 with 12gb, and 32 ram as well, TS1 can just be a mystery sometimes.

Yep. It's just one of those things I guess. Will there possibly be a part 2? I've also downloaded your new UP activity. I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

In theory yes there'll be a part 2, in reality I've no idea if/when I'll do it

Good enough answer for me.

Finally got the scenerios to run. I had to uninstall, then reinstall the route. It appears there were corrupt files in the route.
