Career Mode: Can't Get Gold Star? Last Orders, S&D

[McDuders]

So I'm trying to get a perfect score on Last Orders (Somerset and Dorset Railway). I stop on time at every station and I'm even a few minutes early. I get 100 points for all 7 stops, and no more. What else am I supposed to do to get a perfect score?

Here's a screenshot.

Takes a peculiarly childish mind to do that, where's the satisfaction in a job well done?

And yes Luca, there are a few people who have scored 1000. I assume they're using cheats, though.

i don't think there using cheats but more likely found away to edit the files there are quite a few Scenarios where the max points you can get is like 700 but yet some people have managed to get 1000 the gordie deltic scenario for the ECML newcastle to york is one of them for example

Problem is its quite easy to change the score using an editor..

I would really like to know how to do this. Typically on career scenarios the editor won't allow you to save. You can clone it certainly, but then you don't get any points at all.

Why. So you can cheat and give yourself a better score?

ps...Im not talking about the game editor by the way.
pps I have never changed a score of my own either - not that sad

Uh no, so I could fix all their many broken scenarios.

I don't think I'll ever understand why people attach so much value to the scores in this game.

I just like to see how well I do according to the game. Just driving around on regular scenario once in a while is fun, but gets kind of boring for me. I like to try to challenge myself.

To me, editing the files is cheating, even if I did everything right. I'd rather have it stay at 700 and do everything right than tamper with the files to make a score that I didn't actually win.

But the scoring system is so terrible in many cases where it actively encourages you to break rules in order to get a higher score.

The last career scenario I played on London to Brighton was expecting me to drive at line speed under single caution's. In fact when I arrived at the next station stop I was punished for slowing to 40 MPH, something you'd be required to do IRL to ensure you don't fly though a Danger and crash.

I guess you could say the scoring system is too "Arcade" to be realistic enough for me. Most of the time these days I spend playing quick drive scenarios, most of which I've made myself, where I can just pick the stock I want to use and go out for a drive with reasonably realistic traffic levels.

Different strokes for different folks I guess
