Beside the Drive button for QD, would be nice to have a button Edit or checkbox Edit first. Thing is, there seems to be a trend that QD consists are never loaded. (I mean, the wagons, not the UI. E.g. Class 66 with empty containers, Class 08 with empty hoppers.) The consist editor takes 10+ minutes to load, I don't exactly know, I have to cancel. On top of that, I'm not sure you can specify load state. So what I can do, I click Drive, instantly quit, go to Build, look it up, Edit, change whatever I want, then Drive. Things I change: Well, on München-Augsburg a 7.30 scenario created trains at 19.30. Some consists are too short. I understand that some driver is practicing S-Bahn with a lease Taurus or Vectron, but I'd probably still add a few coaches. Containers and hoppers are occasionally used to transport goods, too. I can tick that in. Converting Go Via instructions to Stop At. (That would be nice with one click.) Ultimately, this all leads to me thinking that I should just use Build instead of QD. OK, but QD is great at templating.
If you are doing anything other than just quickly putting a consist together then yes, going to "build" and editing the scenario is definitely the best way. That's way too long. That can't be right. How much DLC do you have? It takes a long time the first time you run it, or if you've not run it fro a long time and since installed a great deal of DLC, but normally it takes less than a minute here. I've just timed mine... 45 seconds.
Well, umm, 360! The rest uninstalled. (Working on reducing it, but it's years. Too much interconnection.) It's a long story and the only feature truly sweating is the consist editor. Last time I ran it, it got to 10% after a little over a minute or two and I decided to stop it. And my PC isn't exactly a toaster. I have a couple related ideas (reducing duplicate assets) but I don't think it'd ever be considered. (Short version: renormalize all assets and components across all DLC to ensure everything is only once, the best version.)
If you do a QD on a Payware route first and then after a QD on any other route it seems to load quicker - don't know why.
I have more than you... 45 seconds. I never said it was, but something is not right there. My PC is a ten year old Sandybridge E based machine with a SATA SSD. There's gotta be something wrong there if it takes you 10 minutes.
