I'm having trouble with a few services in timetable mode on SEHS in TSW3. Essentially, I can't see how to achieve enough points for more than a bronze. I wondered if some of you fine people who know a lot more about the game than me might be able to help? I'm struggling with a few, but to take up the least of your time, the one I'd like help with is a 3-minute service in the 465/9 - the service code is 5T04. I can't score more than 530 points in any of my attempts, while you need 850 for silver and 950 for gold. Please if you give it a try, let me know what I'm doing wrong?
We'd need to know what you're doing to say if there's anything can be improved or anything you're doing wrong!
Understood - so I'm setting up the cab, then waiting until told I can go. There are no AP points for that. The run itself is very short, so staying under the speed limit is straightforward, but only one zone - so a maximum of 30 points. Then stopping in the designated zone, a perfect stop - that's 500 points. And that's all there is to do. There is no time target or limit, and the run itself is just a few hundred yards - I can't see any other opportunity to gain more AP points.
You're not doing anything wrong, the medals just have strange values. If you really want to get a gold, you can drive back and forth at a low speed to keep accumulating +30 points for staying below the speed limit until you reach the points threshold for a gold medal. Cheers
Hmm, sounds like the point targets might have been set wrong then. Hopefully JD or Alex will stroll by and report this to the tech team. You could submit a support ticket for it if you really wanted to
Right, okay - thanks. I'll submit a ticket, I've found similar situations on a few services with that loco on the timetable, but being the shortest that one had the least chance of me messing it up! Thanks for the input, appreciate it!
