    WRT to Free Roam, aren't there two ways of doing it? Either by selecting the specific free roam option on the menu, or spawning on foot then placing your train. I think last time only the first option worked.

    TBH if DTG can’t get it working properly, just shelve the idea until they can fix the underlying code that keeps causing the glitches.

    Quite ridiculous. I mean just going into Free Roam without actually doing anything should trigger as complete.

    Have some patience. Their first workday of this month is only a few hours old.

    True but this seems to happen every month without fail now. It needs to work properly, not to avoid taking up support resources each time.

    CMs are probably working on the roadmap.

    Have you got anywhere with that free roam one yet. Seems they have forgotten about this.

    I won’t be going on the PC until after tea and then I have a run in SimRail to finish up first.

    Hey folks - let me raise this with the group, I think we've definitely not quite hit the mark with our Monthly Mastery with how we support this enough, and I apologise it ends up being more frustration than enjoyment.

    Let me get back to the group, and see if we can knock out any issues with Feb, but also look more widely at how we're supporting this, so that we can get you all a better experience.

    Just as an update - the Free Roam mission should now be fixed, and easy to unlock :)

    Of course, I've started the debate about how we support this further moving forward, and will come back to you all once I get more news on that

    I got the free roam done too now. Apparently clicking return to free roam after completing a timetable service is enough

    You can quite literally just pop into free roam and then immediately quit back out again for it to count, easiest Mastery challenge yet?

    Instead, we could have set a 500-kilometer target. At least...

    Yes. You don't even need to do anything else. Return to Free Roam then exit to the menu. Kind of pointless, really!

    It would be possible to complete another trip along the chain in this mode.

    I guess, if you could find a service and finish it - bearing in mind the save game still doesn’t work properly on subsequent runs.

    That would at least be somewhat interesting and challenging to implement. Although quite a few services on some routes start on lateral tracks. You start the first part, prepare the train and deliver it to the station. The service ends, you press the button to return to free mode and a new service begins with a full ride.

    No, but the ones that are working on that are not checking discord, forums, instagram, facebook, etc ...

    500 km is easy-peasy on Würzburg - Kassel with Inter City Express ICE1

    It would only ever become a challenge if a caveat of “under 75MPH/120km/h was applied to it.

    I agree, there are only three full trips along this route. But it's still more challenging than simply entering free roam.

    Such experimental stuff would have to be thoroughly tested though :)
