    Hi everyone,
    I’m working on several complex custom scenarios in Train Simulator Classic, and I’m trying to understand if there is any way to export, list, or print all the AI train activities (timetable entries, departures, arrivals, consists, etc.) in one single file or report.

    I know TSC doesn’t provide this feature natively, but before creating my own external Excel log I wanted to ask the community:

    Is there any script, plugin, or mod (even unofficial) that can extract or export the full timetable/AI list from a scenario?

    Has anyone developed a tool that reads the scenario files (.xml/.bin) and generates a printable overview?

    Or is the only method to manually copy everything into a spreadsheet?

    I’m mainly looking for something to help me organize and print all the activities in one shot, instead of going through each instruction manually inside the scenario editor.

    Any suggestions, tools, or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hmm... I'm working on software that does some of that perhaps but prob not in exactly the way you want (though all things are possible)
    This shows ALL services for a scenario... (with csv export options)

    From there you can drill-down to the individual Consist...

    Then you can drill-down to get the service Instructions

    So the info is there, but trying to compile that into a single report/spreadsheet or coherent report may be a bit more tricky (simply because of the extent and disparity between data) though if a specific format could be defined, then I guess its possible...

    I have an existing Scenario Report option but I don't think that covers what you are after...

    Will it be able to show all qd preloads enabled for a route?
    If not, then that might be a nice addition for us who dabble in advanced qd scenario creations.

    Ah, you got me there. I know absolutely nothing about QD's and have never played them. The main difference I detect is a missing "Scenario.bin" file so are empty of the usual info I'm used to, though since looking I've found a few that *do* seem to have a "Scenario.bin", like this one (but mainly they don't).

    Nah, ain't got a clue about QD's or what you call 'preloads' in this context, but happy to be educated.

    Most traction has a PreLoad folder inside its main folder
    When you do a Quick Drive the AI trains you see will be selected from the PreLoad folders.

    A quick drive is enjoyable as you select the route you wish to drive, the start and end locations and the time.
    It is up to you if you wish to stop at any stations or not
    And you will get a clear run - depending on how well the AI has been set up you can see other trains on your journey

    So these Assets/Provider/Product/PreLoad dirs are only for QD?
