Yo, could someone, especially console players please play Nahverkehr Dresden's Chemical Plant Zone scenario. It's either super buggy, don't exactly tell you what you should do or I have the IQ of an amoeba. Here's how my trip went: 1. Right at the start of the scenario, if you release the brakes earlier than the game asks you to do, the game will not recognize that you released the brakes, so you have to apply than release the brakes yet again. 2. I admired the autonomous Talent 2s and 185s on my route. German engineering is truly the best. 3. I've got stuck at Signal A1 for about fifteen minutes... Which clearly is a bug, as the RB45 got stuck at Riesa because of me. 4. Because I wanted to have some "fun" while waiting, I climbed out of the cab, gone back to the bridge just before Riesa and jump of off it. If you don't have a keyboard (which is btw not officially supported on consoles) you will get soft-locked. Intrestingly you cannot walk on the water here, while at DCZ you can. Also in this area you cannot walk over the rails. 5. At the bridge I also admired the catenary structure clipping through the bridge at several places. 6. After teleporting back to the cab, I climbed up the bridge and took a dive into the Elbe. (Again, if you don't have a keyboard you'll get softlocked) 7. After the autonomous Talent 2 passed me, I was finally be able to continue my journey. Along the way to the Weissig Chemical Transfer Yard, I saw objects clipping through each other, floating catenary poles and ballasts (Yes, this is just a tiny gap (at least by DTG's standards, on DCZ you can actually go under the rails thanks to a "slighty" bigger gap), but it's still there). 8. I've arrived at the Chemical Transfer Yard, take an out of body experience to uncouple the tankers (I'm too lazy to do it manually), after I got out of the seat Deutsche Bahn teleported their goons into my train, which is they declared theirs. 9. I entered the 363, put the train brake to 'Driving', the game immidieatly tells you to stop at Wrissig Chemical Siding. I'm NOT a train guy, the game didn't told me that it will take some time for the little shunter to release the brakes. The game also doesn't tell you that the 'RELEASE' notch on the train brake is not for RELEASING the brakes, but for overcharging them. 10. After the 'PP' sign, you can admire another floating ballast. 11. Some MANUAL switches automaticly turn the right way. This should actually be an option. 12. One particular switch is actually manual. This was a close one, lol 13. Back to the 185, the goons are gone. 14. For whatever reason I can't start the train. the reverser is in the 'Forward' position, the parking brake is released… oh boy, this will be something that the game never tought me. I noticed that the 'BC' is at 3.3, so I tried holding the train/electric brake at the 'Release' position to no avail. 15. I've gone to the other cab to realise how stupid I am: the train brakes are at full service... The game never told me to put them on 'Release'. As NOT a train fan I thought if I insert the reverse handle in the other cab, than this control panel would become inactive. 16. I couple to the tankers+313 combo. I was going 10 in a 40 zone, which is 'significantly over the speed limit'. 15. On the trip back to Riesa nothing noteworthy happened. I've got a silver medal with 6600 points, 400 points short of gold. There's no way I lost 400AP by overspeeding, and for everything else you get a fixed 250/500AP. I thought maybe my overall time was too much. On the next run I've decided to end the shunter's career by going over 75km/h, while also making sure to keep it under the speed limit. I've got even less points than before... I finished this run in 61 minutes, would completing the scenario under the suggested 60 minutes net me the gold? Is the speed AP awarded by distance or time?
Yes it's bugged and needs fixing, I don't see the point in wrong railing to the chemical plant either! The brakes need fixing on the rake of tankers you have to take back to your 185.5.
I did that scenario when I bought the DLC and the instructions are terrible. They're so bad that I ended up dragging the 363 back to the start point with its brakes locked on because nothing tells you how to set them for towing.
I´ve been struggling with that very service on PS4 as well. And yes, if I wasn´t a guy .......errrmm, young for a longer time now, I´d have smashed the controller into the screen or worse, on my dog. BUT, fear not: I got some help from fellow forumites here .
