Stuck on Chapter II Mission 10

[Alguy]

I got to the point where I needed to create a line to bus around the press for 5 minutes, so i did so. The line is created correctly(Checked off), but I put a bus on the line and the game refuses to check off that a vehicle is enroute. Anyone have a solution to this? It's preventing me from progressing the campaign.

Takes a while. Just create the line, make it longer with some waypoints (not stops!), making sure the "line with 2 stops created" is checked. Send vehicle on the line and just let it run, it will maybe go forth and back once, before the timer starts.

[Alguy]

^ already done exactly that. Which is why i'm perplexed as to why it won't work.

Also make sure someone is actually riding the bus, if they are not try stopping the other routes in the city until people wait at the stop by the airport

I'm on this mission and cant seem to get the alcohol delivered to hotel, any ideas, thanks

[Alguy]

Renshi thank you for the help as that was the problem As for the alcohol, ship it by rail to the train station in los angeles, then by truck to the hotel

Hmm... just finished that one. One bus from the airfield to the press event is more than 10 minutes round trip, but waypoints in exactly one way. But if you have passengers serving other lines, it doesn't help.

I also got stuck at that spot and couldn't figure out what exactly the problem was supposed to be. Even got the impression that it might be bugged...
In the end, I just gave up on that one (everything else was done) and edited my profile to get past that scenario.

In case you want to do that, too, go to
[Your Steam folder] \ userdata \ [your user profile number] \ 1066780 \ local

Then,
1. Make a backup of the profile.lua in this folder for safety's sake.
2. Open the profile.lua with a text editor of your choice.
3. Scroll down to the section "playedScenarios" and there the "era_b" section.
4. Under ["09"] = true, just add another entry ["10"] = true

This marks scenario 10 as finished and unlocks scenario 11.

I’m having the same issue. Everything except “Chauffeuring the press around” is complete. I can’t get a “vehicle en route” to trigger. I’ve tried deleting all other lines in Los Angeles so everyone has to take the line from the airport to the premier. I’ve also tried putting 40 busses on the line to decrease the time between busses in the hopes of luring riders. Nothing seems to work for me.

The 5 minute trigger starts at the airfield as soon as a passenger gets on board. It must take at least 5 minutes from there to the press event building on a two stop line with waypoints between those two stops. Basically, remove any other passenger stops on other lines within the catchment area of the airport and passengers will find an alternate route to their destination by taking the two stop line.

I THINK I JUST SOLVED IT!! My line was too long, so I removed waypoints. (Open up the line and see the frequency, mine was 14 minutes for one vehicle on the line). Here’s the real trick: take out ALL your waypoints and then just stop your vehicle until the timer counts down. Good luck!

[G8erJoe]

Thanks dude, but that wasn’t my issue. It turned out that I had way too long of a route to attract any passengers. I figured it out now.

Actually in this case, you need the waypoints to increase the time so that it will take at least 5 minutes! It's the passengers you'd be missing with other route competition.

That's the same issue (attracting passengers, and deciding how to solve), but a 2 stop line without waypoints isn't the minimum 5 minutes here.

I understand what you’re saying, but having too many waypoints or too long of a route will not give you passengers. As I said in a previous post, you can use NO waypoints and just stop the vehicle. The timer will keep counting.

Certainly stopping the vehicle will work currently, but given the description of the task, I'd expect them to add an additional condition to make that description accurate (the task description clearly shows that it's intended that you do add waypoints)! Yes, you'll get passengers when longer than 5 minutes as long as there isn't competition.
