    Introduction:
    Hey all, TrainGeek08 here, and today I'm creating a thread for all my Creator's Club releases to go instead of individual threads like before (thank trainsimplayer for the idea), so it's gonna all be in this thread now from here on out :)



    Scenario Name:
    Boston Canton (Acela)

    Route:
    Boston Sprinter
    Train: Acela Express EMU
    Route covered: Boston South to Canton Junction (Providence-bound platform)
    Duration: 30-35 minutes
    Difficulty: 2
    Scenario Storyline: The Stoughton branch line and the NEC main line between Canton Junction and Stoughton/Providence is closed due to engineering works along that section of the route so trains are being turned back at Canton Junction with Amtrak's ACS-64s running with Amfleet Cab Cars on the back to run in Top and Tail formation whereas the MBTA consists are already in that formation and the Acela is a multiple unit meaning it has a driving car at each end so it does not require a cab car to head back to Boston South

    WIP shots await...

    [​IMG]

    As an MBTA service departs in front of us to head to Canton Junction, we in the Acela make a slow departure out of Boston South whilst waiting for the aforementioned MBTA service to 'get out the road' as an Amtrak ACS-64 sits idling ready to run to Canton Junction as well

    [​IMG]

    This is whilst boarding, I love the reflection of the MBTA F40PH-3C's headlights on the Acela at Boston South


    [​IMG]

    Now in the outskirts of the city, we pass through Ruggles, whilst being alert of that MBTA service ahead of us which will head into the Stoughton-bound platform at Canton Junction

    [​IMG]

    And finally, we are passing through the lifeless Forest Hills station, which is not served in either a) timetable mode/scenarios or b) has a Scenario Planner path which stops there but at least it's there


    Scenario Link: Creators Club - (TG08) Boston Canton (Ace la)


    Conclusion:
    So this is how it will look from now on, any feedback would be appreciated as this is a new concept for me and I'm looking to keep it going every time I have a new release ready to showcase and announce to you all, I've been TrainGeek08 as always, enjoy the rest of your day and I'll see you next time for another suggestion or CC release announcement, until then, it's goodbye ;)

    Here is a side angle of what the livery looks like, full roof, cant line goes where it should, danger overhead wire signs on the train, it's got the whole chabang (except for loco number, WCR branding and depot information)


    Livery Link: Creators Club - (TG08) WCR (Normal)

    [​IMG]


    I love this shot, you can truly see the difference in colour to the previous 47 as it has a more burgundy tinge to it whereas the other 47 is more a maroon colour

    Very nice!

    P.S WCR Branding Is fine, I've done multiple WCR liverys in the past that haven't been striked.

    This is something I'd recommend in Scenarios 2 and 3... to stop at Three Bridges, Balcombe (pictured) and Wivelsfield, as Thameslink stop there in real life

    Route:
    Brighton Main Line
    Train: Class 700/0 TL

    Scenario Storyline: Thameslink are trialing for a new 'Speedlink' service which only stops at Gatwick Airport, Haywards Heath and Brighton, and you have been elected by GTR to try out a test run, drive the test run from East Croydon to Brighton and see if Thameslink should go ahead with the plans...

    WIP shots await...

    [​IMG]

    As 377111 goes across the points to rejoin the slow lines at South Croydon bound for Reigate, 700022 overtakes it on the test 'Speedlink' service to Brighton

    Scenario Name: Desiro City Empties

    Route:
    Brighton Main Line
    Train: Class 700/0 TL
    Route covered: East Croydon to Three Bridges (Redhill Lines)
    Duration: 10 mins
    Difficulty: 1
    Scenario Storyline: A passenger has fallen ill on your late-evening Thameslink service, hence cancelling the service at Redhill, you have spoke to control who have said to bring the unit ECS to Three Bridges Depot, so you are going to do exactly that :)

    WIP shots await...

    [​IMG]

    700003's service has been cancelled, and needs to be taken to Three Bridges Depot for cleaning as the passenger may have had a bad time of it in the vestibule area...

    [​IMG]

    As 700003 stops at Three Bridges, 700058 has made it to Three Bridges ready to go into the depot after 003 does as 003's diagram has a higher priority to get in before 058 :)


    Scenario Name: Desiro City Beginning

    Route:
    Brighton Main Line
    Train: Class 700/0 TL
    Route covered: Gatwick Airport to East Croydon (Redhill Lines)

    003 is back again for more it seems... here it is at Gatwick ready to depart on the first service of the day for Bedford (East Croydon)


    [​IMG]

    This is my favourite photo of the whole pack so far, my Southern 377/7 reskinned 387 on a Metro service for London Bridge and 700003 heading for Bedford (East Croydon)


    Which scenario is my favourite?
    TG08: "Definitely Desiro City Beginning, the AI frequency between Purley and East Croydon is immense, you are getting overtaken whilst trains pass you going the other way, and that's why it's my favourite out of the 6."

    Desiro City Fog: Creators Club - (700SP) 1. Desiro City Fog

    Hey all, here are some ICE scenarios ready for announcing... hope you enjoy these two :love:

    Scenario 1:

    Scenario Name:
    ICE1010 Part 1 (ICE3M)
    Route: Hauptstrecke Munchen-Augsburg
    Train: DB BR 406 'ICE3M'
    Route covered: Munchen Hbf to Augsburg Hbf
    Duration: 30mins
    Difficulty: 1
    Scenario Storyline: Based off Deutsche Bahn service ICE1010 from Munchen (Munich) to Dortmund

    WIP shots await...

    [​IMG]

    Here is our chariot at Munchen Hbf on service 1010 to Dortmund today, an ICE3M courtesy of state operator Deutsche Bahn

    [​IMG]

    We have panned to the other side to see a DB BR 146.2 + Dostos set on an RE service that goes to a off-map destination after Munchen-Pasing

    [​IMG]

    Here at Munchen Donnersbergerbrucke, our ICE service overtakes an S-Bahn service on the S3 to Mammendorf

    [​IMG]

    The two generations of ICE3 are seen at Munchen-Pasing, the regional DB BR 403 'ICE3' on the left and our DB BR 406 'ICE3M' on the right

    [​IMG]

    The weather has turned for the worse since leaving Augsburg so you are driving the next bit in the wet between here at Duisburg and the other end of the route at Bochum

    [​IMG]

    Our service navigates a slight curve just after passing Essen-Frohnhausen before preparing to slow down for arrival into Essen Hbf (below)

    [​IMG]

    Old ICE vs New ICE... as a DB BR 401 'ICE1' works service ICE1011 to Munchen (from Dortmund), we work the next leg of ICE1010 to Dortmund (from Munchen)

    [​IMG]

    And finally at Bochum, which train would you take to get to Dortmund? The faster ICE service or the slower S-Bahn service?

    Scenario Link: Creators Club - (TG08) I C E 1010 Part 2 (BR 406)
    Required Livery Link: Creators Club - Rhein Ruhr Express (RRX) - BR 442


    That's it, hope you are excited for these two scenarios on two of the German Hauptstrecke routes, I'm gonna do something different... I want to put it to the floor and put any scenario requests you have below, I've been TrainGeek08 as always, enjoy yourselves, and goodbye ;)

    Hey all, today I'm announcing my final ever scenario made within TSW3, enjoy!!!

    Scenario Name:
    CSX Leaser
    Route: Cajon Pass
    Train: GP38-2 + SD40-2
    Route covered: Victorville to Barstow
    Duration: 40-45 minutes
    Difficulty: 2
    Scenario Storyline: BNSF have leased some CSX locos and rolling stock to cover for some of their locos while they are under repair, drive one of the leased sets from Victorville to Barstow Yard on a hot, summer afternoon :)

    WIP shots await...

    [​IMG]


    Welcome to Victorville, here is our CSX consist ready to leave for Barstow Yard

    [​IMG]


    As we pass East Oro Grande Cement Sidings, our GP38-2 poses with an SD40-2 in BNSF livery which will follow us to Barstow


    [​IMG]



    During the scenario, we cross over from the right hand track to the left hand track which means this BNSF SD40-2 needs to wait until we clear the points, weird how it isn't stopping at the signal further up though :o


    Scenario Link: Creators Club - (TG08) CSX Leaser (GP38-2/SD40-2) (screenshots are different as I had to take them in TSW4 ;))

    Hi There,

    I just downloaded your CL158 livery (EMR 158773) specifically to see if it rendered OK in TSW4 and, as you can see, some of the branding is missing. I wonder, if you get a moment, whether you could take the livery down and reupload it using the TSW4 editor to see if that makes any difference?

    Thanks David.

    Hi, I will reupload it as soon as I can :), obviously having some of the livery not load isn't great but I'll try the best I can to upload it within TSW4 ;)

    Hello everyone, I am here to announce some bad news in regards to future Creator's Club uploads :(

    Due to a couple of bugs in Scenario Planner (within Train Sim World 4) where the scenario doesn't save any AI trains I put in and/or comes up with an error (further detailed in the linked threads below) so I am sorry to announce that any future projects featured on the Creator's Club Roadmap are cancelled until further notice because I can't make the scenarios which I have planned to create for you all. I apologise for any inconvenience caused but it is out of my control and fingers crossed it gets fixed as soon as possible in order for me to return creating scenarios & liveries in line with my Creator's Club Roadmap ;)

    Linked Threads detailing the bugs:
    Xbox One - Can't Edit Scenarios | Dovetail Games Forums (my thread)
    XBX/XBS - Scenario Planner Bugged | Dovetail Games Forums (another member with similar problems)

    Once again, I apologise and I'll see you again whenever DTG decide to address this bug and hopefully fix it :)


    With that out of the way... I have some screenshots on how the 'Carmine Era' scenario on Cathcart Circle would have looked had the bug not exist :)

    [​IMG]

    An assortment of 314s in Carmine & Cream can be seen at Glasgow Central heading for (left to right) Glasgow Central (via Cathcart), Neilston and Newton (via Pollokshields East) :)

    [​IMG]

    Crossing with a Glasgow-bound service (originated in Neilston) at Cathcart station, this livery looks gorgeous in Photo Mode doesn't it?

    [​IMG]

    Meeting with a Circle service at Cathcart West Jn as our train diverges onto the Neilston branch


    I'll update this thread again if I hear any news on the bugs being resolved and whichever mod comes next in the Creator's Club Roadmap after the patch date will be where I continue, I've been TG08 as always, enjoy the rest of your day, and goodbye :)

    Required Livery Link: Creators Club - (TG08) SPT C&C 314 (314)


    I hope you are excited for this one, at least this one is coming out as the 2016 Scenario Pack for Great Western Express which was supposed to release today has been abandoned so the Roadmap will continue from the Carmine Era onwards, I'm TrainGeek08 as always, a massive thanks to DTG again for releasing the patch which has fixed the bugs mentioned two messages above and I'll see you next time for the next release, until then, it's goodbye :)

    Hello everyone, I am here yet again to announce some bad news in regards to future Creator's Club uploads :(

    When I thought that both bugs were solved, turns out only one was solved and the other was still around so yet again I am sorry to announce that the Mines Tour scenario for Sand Patch Grade featured on the Creator's Club Roadmap is cancelled because I can't make the scenario due to the bug in the linked thread below. I apologise for any inconvenience caused as I was looking forward to trying out the chaining paths feature for Parts 2 & 3 in this one :(


    Linked Thread detailing the bug if you want to read more into the issue:

    XBX/XBS - Scenario Planner Bugged | Dovetail Games Forums


    However, not all is lost, I will be trying to make the 'Empty Bullet' scenario which is next in the Creator's Club Roadmap and hopefully that works, here is what I think the issue is (from the linked thread):

    "After looking at my previous scenarios which I have completed in the past (which suffer the same issue), I might have found why it is happening:

    It only occurs on trains that don't feature in the base routes' timetable (for example a DB BR 182 (+ Dostos) on Hauptstrecke Hamburg-Lubeck) so any train that utilises 'Off the Rails' mode are the ones which disappear and the trains which are included within the base routes' timetable (for example a DB BR 112 (+ Dostos) on the same route) don't disappear."


    Anyway, I'll see you when I have the screenshots ready for Empty Bullet (if I get that far) and apologies again for the cancellation of the Mines Tour but hopefully Empty Bullet goes well and works as expected. So until then, I've been TrainGeek08 as always, enjoy the rest of your day, and goodbye :)

    Hello all, remember when I said this:
    Well I'm glad to say that it (luckily) worked and I'm here to announce 'Empty Bullet', which will be the longest scenario (in terms of duration) I have ever produced to this day :)

    Scenario Name: Empty Bullet
    Route: Peninsula Corridor
    Train: MP36PH-3C Baby Bullet + Bombardier Bi-Level Coaches + Bombardier Bi-Level Cab Car
    Route covered: San Francisco to CEMOF via San Jose Diridon
    Duration: 1hr 20mins (80mins)
    Difficulty: 3
    Scenario Storyline: This Caltrain Baby Bullet set has had a fault at San Francisco, drive this empty to CEMOF but watch out for stopping services in front of you and you also have a reversal at San Jose Diridon to contend with.


    WIP shots await...

    [​IMG]


    Two MP36PH-3Cs and an F40PH-2CAT can be seen at San Francisco ready to work services on the Peninsula Corridor to San Jose Diridon (or in the case of the middle (player) service, to CEMOF)

    [​IMG]

    We do get held at numerous red lights on the journey, and whilst we are stopped at one just before Palo Alto, a Gallery Cab Car heads back to San Francisco from San Jose Diridon

    [​IMG]

    Now we have (eventually) arrived into San Jose Diridon for our reversal and funnily enough, the Gallery set on the right is doing exactly that after arriving on a Limited Stopping service from San Francisco and is also heading to CEMOF (for redeployment later this evening however)

    [​IMG]

    Which Caltrain would you choose?


    Scenario Link:
    Creators Club - (TG08) Empty Bullet (MP36PH-3C)


    I hope you are excited for this one, at least this one is releasing and also enjoy the stop-start nature of this one, I'm TrainGeek08 as ever, put your thoughts below as always and I'll see you next time for the next release, until then, it's goodbye :)

    Hello everyone, I am here for the third time in the last month to cancel another release... :(

    You know that S-Bahn Vorarlberg scenario I had planned on the Creator's Club Roadmap? Turns out that DTG haven't addressed the 'Off The Rails' mode bug within Scenario Planner yet so it is cancelled because I can't make the scenario due to that particular bug. I apologise for any inconvenience caused as I was looking forward to trying to make a scenario for this TSW4 core route since the other two are delayed anyway due to Formation Designer being required to make formations for use in those scenarios :(


    Linked Thread detailing the bug if you want to read more into the issue:

    XBX/XBS - Scenario Planner Bugged | Dovetail Games Forums


    However, not all is lost, I will be making the 'Midland Master' (two-parter) scenario (requested by tft#6439 may I add), which is next in the Creator's Club Roadmap and that should work :)

    Anyway, I'll see you when I have the screenshots ready for Midland Master towards the end of next week and apologies again for the cancellation of the 'ICE119 Innsbruck' scenario but Midland Master should go well and work as expected. So until then, I've been TrainGeek08, enjoy the rest of your day, and I'll leave you with a screenshot of what you would've expected if you had played the scenario but it's goodbye from me :)

    Hello everyone, I can't believe this is becoming a normality at this point... :(

    You know the two-part scenario that was requested by tft#6439 for the Creator's Club Roadmap? Turns out that MML is suffering with crashes around East Midlands Parkway from Derby (3 miles north of EMD), Nottingham (2 miles north of EMD) and Leicester (0.7 miles leaving northbound from EMD) so it is unfortunately cancelled because I can't make the scenario due to the crashing (probably due to the loading/unloading of Ratcliffe Power Station which overlooks the station). I apologise for any inconvenience caused as I was looking forward to making this scenario as it was requested.


    Anyway, I'll see you when I start working on the next mod (whenever it is planned to release) and apologies again for the cancellation of the 'Midland Master' scenario (especially to tft#6439 as I know you were looking forward to it) but I'll update you when I am ready to release the next mod. So until then, I've been TrainGeek08, enjoy the rest of your day, and I'll leave you with some screenshots of what you would've expected if the scenario had released but it's goodbye from me :)

    Hello all, as I said in my Creator's Club Roadmap (go have a look at it ;)), I have some news about the '2P07 EDB-DBL (158)' scenario I had planned for Edinburgh-Glasgow... (It is what you think it is by the way :()

    For the umpteenth time, like the others, I have to cancel this one because Scenario Planner is still bugged after a month and a half so I can't do anything about it I'm afraid :(:mad:

    Below is a photo of the reason why I have had to cancel this and the previous mods:

    This is quite frustrating not only for all of you but for me as a creator too, I'll talk about subscriber counts in a minute but this is getting beyond the joke now but I hope it is fixed as soon as it can be. On a separate note, I have heard that Scenario Planner is scheduled to have some improvements and fixes so hopefully this bug shown in the screenshot above is addressed so then I can start releasing content again to you all :)

    I am thinking of a way to make the next mod (RE3 Hof on DCZ) work and hopefully I'll get that released since I have not had a release since Empty Bullet and the subscriber count has rapidly declined since TSW4's release and when I am cancelling releases.

    Subscriber Counts:
    My subscriber counts have taken a knock since I have cancelled numerous mods since the release of TSW4 at the end of September, let's compare a mod which I released in TSW3 to a mod which I released in TSW4:

    TSW3:
    upload_2023-11-11_9-23-59.png

    TSW4:
    upload_2023-11-11_9-24-28.png

    You can see the drastic decrease of subscriber counts between Bad Taurusloe (which I released in TSW3) and Empty Bullet (which I released in TSW4) and I think that me having to cancel mods because of bugs within Scenario Planner within TSW4 plays a part in this, I will keep trying my upmost hardest to release mods but I will keep you updated on how they are doing.


    With that out of the way, I've been TrainGeek08, enjoy the rest of your day and I'll see you when I have updates on RE3 Hof Hbf on Tharandter Rampe: Dresden-Chemnitz and I'll see you later, goodbye :)

    For some reason I get that alot, sometimes you can add services then go in and out and it occasionally sorts itself out.

    I'm still in the same boat and it is very frustrating.

    I'm on PC and I see the same 'errors' as you. My latest example is that ECW stock won't show up on ECML. (In my case it is the JNAs and the CL377 that seem to be the issue.....but I suppose it will actually turn out to be all stock.......I have screenshots too). But it is the weather, or lack of it, that cheeses me off the most. I still can't get any weather to 'stick' in game with TSW4.

    My latest example (but I am convinced it is ALL weathers) is with snow. Create a scenario with snow and run it immediately and everything is OK. Exit the game and go back in again and the weather has reset......presumably to default clear. (Snow is the easiest one to see immediately as, obviously, the ground is no longer white). Yet both the weather settings, and the formation settings, are still there behind the scenes in the game.

    It seems that both issues relate to the game not remembering things when you leave a session. I can't see how this is anything that we, as users, can fix (or could have broken). It may even be just a tick box somewhere?

    More worrying, though, is the fact that I don't think I have ever seen a technical response on the forums relating to user issues with Scenario Editor from DTG. It is almost as if they don't really want the facility there. Free roam and Timetables seem to rule the roost now. Community created scenarios really seem the poor relation to everything else. It is a shame.

    Just my opinion and it will be great if I am ultimately proved wrong.

    David.

    I agree and the issue I have and the issues you have are annoying, I have made a post in the feedback thread and tagged Alex in it so hopefully he sees or has seen my post :)
