Bromley South to London Victoria

[outsider]

I always get a train derailment AI collision error as I approach the Victoria platform. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm arriving just on time.

I asked this recently and received a reply with a solution that works. It's a few pages further down in this forum. I'd post a link but I'm using a tablet and can't get the copy/paste to work on the URL...

This scenario has been flawed since the DLC was introduced.

The problem is caused by two AI trains - SN02 and SN09. They collide in Platform 19 at Victoria, causing the scenario to end. The fault appears to be because AI train SN09 fails to stop at a red signal (VC238) at the approach to Victoria. This signal is protecting train SN02 which has not yet left the platform.

I solved the problem by cloning the scenario and removing train SN02 from Platform 19. The scenario then works fine.

Incidentally, because the original scenario came with the Chatham Main Line DLC, it cannot be removed or altered - you get the message "Save disabled" if you try and save any changes. Does anybody know how to get round this. Locking and then unlocking the padlock doesn't seem to work.

Unfortunate bug. Any chance this will be patched by DTG?

Thanks!

Will it be fixed? I highly doubt it but I would like to be proved wrong.

[7817]

It won't get fixed.

This happens on a few occasions with scenarios in official DLCs. In my view it is unprofessional not to check that scenarios work properly before releasing them.

I always check and double check any scenario I put on the workshop to be sure it works properly.

I'm fairly new to this game. What is the best way to search for a workshop scenario that I can play given the DLCs I have available?

On the workshop tab, to the right there is a very long list of the DLC. You can click these to filter workshop content.

The problem with that is it doesn't work. Tick the Weardale and Teesdale Network for example it tells you there's nothing.

When you click on an item in the workshop, to the right of the picture should be a list of the DLC and/or locos needed to run the scenario.

When I write a scenario, I always list what's needed as part of the description.

I take it back- I just ticked the W&T in the Workshop and it listed pages and pages of scenarios. When did that start working?

(Of course there is no discrimination at all so there are scenarios for other routes that use assets from the W&T and no way to rule out scenarios that require assets you don't have so it is still necessary to trawl through the list of results but it's a start.)

Hi there, I'm a bit confused here. Are you referring to career scenario [465] 07. 1B90 09:32 Bromley South to London Victoria via the Catford Loop? If so, I completed this scenario successfully and received 1,000 points and so did Growler. Perhaps DTG have fixed it?

It is possible to complete this if you're really quick and reach your destination before the AI collision occurs.

I tried the scenario again yesterday and it still crashed - but when I tried it yesterday I was halfway along the platform at Victoris when the AI crash occurred. If I'd been 1 minute quicker I would probably have completed it.

There wasn't a flaw when the scenario was originally released - an unintentional issue found its way into a patch version (where southern 377s were added into the scenario - basically it's one of those that didin't want to move and basically another AI rammed it)

I did a workshop version that fixes that (the best that I can do at the moment to fix it)

No it wasn't - the original version didn't have the Southern 377s in the route - those only came in with a patch! :)

Interesting, thanks for your response. I guess Growler and I must have arrived at Victoria early?
