Has anyone not been able to complete this scenario ? After two plus hours I arrived into Chinley through siding. I then reversed to the turntable siding and uncoupled seven vehicles, then pulled forward to the through siding as instructed. Then I was asked to reverse again to drop more vehicles. Problem - could not reverse because of a red signal. When I contacted the signaller, the message said " Denied. Your train appears to be off path " So I was stuck between two red lights - help ! Thanks in advance.
I completed the scenario without an issue, one of the best the best scenario I've played in this game. Did you pull forward too much and/or were all points set correctly?
I will try to finish the scenario tonight and let you know. I've had to save and exit while shunting in Peak Forest station.
Finished the scenario after saving and loading multiple times, the shunting in Chinley went off without a hitch.
If you get the "train is off path" message it usually means: You've gone past a green signal you weren't supposed to (eg if you don't stop in a station and the whole train goes past the signal at the end of the platform, you might be able to reverse back into the station, but the light ahead will now be red, because your train already passed it). You didn't follow the intended path, or the current pathing (ie how the points are set) is incorrect. You can sometimes fix this by returning to the point at which you were last "on path" or by playing around with various points in the yard to see if you can find the issue. EDIT: I completed the scenario without any issues, but I know there was quite a bit of points switching at various stages, including the last section, so I suspect that's where the problem lies.
Thanks for your replies. I'm sure that I stopped at the correct place though. Will look at it again tomorrow. Cheers
Do a save ~1 mile from each station, just in case you overshoot the stopping point or something goes wrong during the shunting. That way, you won't have to repeat the whole scenario.
