    With regard to the mileage issue, it appears the DTL Driver’s Logbook is also only recording the last section of the drive that you load in from the save before completing.

    Although now my Tier 2 is showing complete even though I’ve only done 354 of the required 402 km…

    mastery seems to update very randomly. I did a scenario for which i got Xp but did not count as a scenario. The next day i did another on and after that i had 2 scenarios completed.

    I just hope that DTG will test any further 'experimental' challenges they come up with more thoroughly. Lately, most of these new concepts were bugged at first and later fixed (albeit reasonably fast).

    Distance recorded from a resumed save has always worked like this, presumably because the distance previously driven doesn't get saved, but you can log it by quitting out to the main menu I believe, same way that distance is still recorded that way even if you SPAD.

    Completed it by driving the last 100 km with a GBR 802 scenario on ECML and an HST service on GWE. Can't remember when I last completed the mastery this late in the month...

    Ironically, I've actually carried on playing a bit this month even after finishing the Mastery, unlike April where I didn't touch TSW for about three weeks.

    It will probably all be doable in a couple of days.

    Which this time doesn't bother me as I'm having too much fun over in MSFS 2020. Neofly is effectively encouraging me to hand fly and land manually without any autopilot or other aids, as I start my pilot career. Quite a sense of gratification when you get the little aircraft down with a V/S of less than 500 fpm!

    Not too hard, I guess. Haven't seen collectibles in a while (I believe), so maybe those will be involved.

    And conductor mode… If I recall there was also one where you had to walk a significant distance.

    No more 'innovative' challenges please. They are bound to not work right away....

    That's not surprising at all. Another innovative challenge that doesn't work right away, probably will take a few days.

    The problem with collectibles is remembering which routes you already strip mined them from. I don’t mind doing the posters etc. on stations but I CBA to start wandering off down the track looking for the more obscure ones.

    And yes it looks like once again we have another set of Mastery challenges which aren’t working properly! Is anything for this wretched game ever play tested?

    I'll probably wait until Thursday, when my new monitor arrives. I hope everything will be fixed by then.

    At what point does someone at DTG realise that they should probably test mastery challenges to make sure they actually work...?

    It's just the usual DTG testing process, release it on the paying customers and let them report the bugs, much cheaper than in-house testing.

    Maybe try spawning on foot in a timetable mode and see if that counts as free roam. Didn’t we have similar challenge few months ago?
