    This is a serious thread and i mean it

    DO NOT BUY THE ATS FLIRTs!

    Why? They're NOT worth £40 AT ALL! Secondly they don't even work on quick Drive. Why would you buy a train that's overpriced and doesn't even work.

    And what's even worse is that you can't even refund anything you get from ATS so you're just stuck with broken train files unless you uninstall the game, Delete all the files and reinstall the game EXCLUDING the FLIRTs!

    So just save yourself some time and money by just not buying the class 745 and 755!

    Sorry you are having issues with the quick drives could you tell me what routes you have tried it on please

    I would also like to point out claiming something is a scam “when it clearly isn’t”
    Is a strange move and I would think this post will not last long
    The FLIRT packs are one of our best sellers and whilst we have some bits to update we are still very proud of them

    as for refunds It’s on a case by case basis digital products are usually very difficult to arrange refunds for if they have been downloaded
    We work within best industry practice when working out refunds

    I hope this helps

    You're right - they are not £40!

    £37.99 or £29.99 with a subscription
    £10 off if you own the other
    £25 each if you buy them together

    As for the refund thing, you know what we're going to do here don't you? We're going to ask for some evidence because it's all here in black and white for us...

    As for the assertion that this is a serious thread... It's great we all have different opinions on things

    Good evening Alan. So what I usually do when I get new trains for TS Classic is I usually do a test drive on the London Peterborough route wether the train be electric or diesel. So I wait for it to finish installing, select yes for installing the branding pack and when I go to drive it an error message pops up saying "error occured while loading quick Drive scenario"

    I deeply apologize for calling The flirt a scam and I know I was a little too harsh but this was the first time I'd ever bought one of your products and still trying to figure out how to use the ATS installer and I kinda overreacted.

    But yea I forgot to ask if the flirts are quick Drive compatible or if I've missed any requirements

    Sorry for the confusion

    Okay? I can do that part but how does that explain it not appearing in game?

    For me it keeps coming up with "error Occurred while loading quick Drive scenario"

    Because I'm still in believe that I'm missing stuff I'm now in the process on getting WCML over shape and DTG GEML in order to get the Armstrong Powerhouse upgraded Wherry lines.
