AP Class 465 difficulty

[ajptech]

I was driving the AP class 465 and saved my scenario. When I reloaded it, the keyboard bindings stopped working and when I tried to go into the cab view, most of the cab was just blackness and I could barely see the track ahead. The game eventually crashed. Has anyone else experienced an issue like this? What should I do?

I may be missing something here, but if you are referring to Armstrong Powerhouse as "AP", I can't see a Class 465 listed. Check the manual (as I can't) because many of their so-called "advanced products" are so complicated that features such as saving and restarting do not work correctly.

Their web page for the Class 456, for example, comes with all sorts of dire warnings such as:
"Please check manual for limitations"

"Please note, this pack is NOT compatible with any external controllers such as the XBOX or RailDriver."

"All efforts have been made to ensure the included scenarios work properly but due to the unstable nature of the DTG South London Network route, there is a possibility some may crash whilst loading, or playing them, due to memory issues on this route. Advice is given in the scenarios descriptions, and during the scenarios, on how to avoid these crashes but we can not absolutely guarantee they won't occur so please be aware of this before purchasing."

If those sort of issues are similar of the Class 465, it sounds like you have purchased a travelling nightmare! :(

I have reason to believe OP is referring to one of the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 465 Enhancement Packs.

Just to clarify, is this Class 465 Enhancement Pack Vol. 1 or Vol. 2?

this is the Armstrong Powerhouse Enhancement Pack volume 1. I was driving along the Southeastern Network: SEML, MKL & NKL. v.2.0 route (it's a workshop route which does include the South London Network as the other commenter said). This is the only Armstrong Powerhouse train (so far) that has given me this issue.

I would blame the workshop route.

AP units have very complex scripting, so I would advise running scenarios with them in in one sitting.

Got it, thank you!
