I have purchased the pack, read the manual and am now sufficiently terrified at how many ways my lack of driving skill can mess things up....time to give them a go.

Right just done C69 Empty Stock Move and despite me having to restart due to incompetence, it was fantastic! Really captured the feel of the LU, and driving the C Stock with proper announcements was just marvellous! Top job to everyone involved with this pack.

Thanks for the feedback Alex, really glad you enjoyed your first foray into the District deep end. After you have completed the pack, we'll be looking forward to one of your superb YT videos. We are all big fans and subscribers of you in this team.

Sorry in advance for the self-promotion but if anyone is interested I'll be streaming two T/Op scenarios tonight including one from the EC pack. For some reason I cant get the links to work so the stream is 9:30pm BST on Twitch, channel name AlexTheMole.

Thanks for the heads up Alex. I can assure you I have changed my plans for this evening so I can tune in and be present for the stream, to answer any questions from other members watching. Please promote yourself more on here. You are held in high regard by this team and your streams are warmly received by all on here too. See you later Alligator..............
I'm tuned into your channel in preparation..........( used to be a boy scout )

Alex did a great stream yesterday, looking at two of our T/Op man scenarios, 1 from the new EC edition pack released earlier this week. If you missed it, you can watch it for a short time on catch up here : Go to Twitch TV and look for AlexTheMole, then recent videos should pop up.

(Brand new here) Just watched the first hour, will watch the rest tomorrow (well, later since it's 1.30am at the moment). Dropped a follow to hopefully catch a live one next time. I need to get this content so going to have a look through the rest of the forums to get the answers that have probably been asked a hundred times before. Cheers

Thanks everyone who turned up to the stream and for the new follows, it was really fun trying the more challenging scenarios with the added distraction of streaming. Cant wait to do more in the future!

More power to your elbow Alex. I predict Friday evenings will be a gathering of members on here to follow and support you.
Here's a challenge for a future stream: I bought WOS3 when it came out ( as did the whole team ) One of the most impressive things about WOS3 was the dynamic lighting, which TS lacked at the time. TS now is up to that level and beyond it. The other things that irked me was the C69 compressor not cutting out when line pressure was reached. It runs constantly as soon as you open up the cab, surely a bug that was never fixed. The program is riddled with bugs, despite a lot of effort going into making it immersive. The motor sounds are pathetic though, nothing like a real C-Stock, no growl on powering up from a standing start for a start. And yet, I kept going back to it, because it had something. I believe the missions are flawed though.
The Briefing : No matter how many times I ran this mission, I always failed in some way to complete it. There seems to be numerous bugs in that mission. The most annoying is that when you get to Edgware Road the text tells you to stop in the middle of the platform. If you do this, however, it never recognises your arrival so gets locked on that screen. On one occasion I stopped the train by the platform barrier as you are supposed to and YAY!!! it told me to shut off headlights, destination lights, ventilation, cab light, passenger heating and lighting, turn on the tail lights, shut down cab and change ends. Great, I think I've cracked this. Get into the cab other end, open it up etc etc. Set the DVA correctly, bingo, close doors, wait for green starter, apply parallel motoring and..........................we are going in reverse..................never sorted it out. Had to quit there that was the furthest I ever got.
On your first stream with WOS3 show us how to run the briefing, or is it , as I suspect, impossible....................

I'm certainly willing to give it a try when I get WOS3 again and stream it. I've still got the disk version somewhere, but hopefully it'll be cheap in a Steam sale. I well remember just how buggy that game was, and yet it was so compelling to play! It certainly helped foster my love of the C Stock.

If you find your disk version, go to Aerosoft's online shop and see if you can apply for the latest published version. The disk version is likely to be even more buggy, than the final one.

Fantastic pack, worth every penny. Certainly keeps you alert. Will there be any more packs? Thanks again.

Yes, we will definitely create more packs, and thanks for your feedback. As Xavier says , we will utilise the new track sections as well, because the extra destinations and starting points create more possibilities for varied scenarios.

I'm having problems with a couple of scenarios. The sim complains that it can't find the S7 stock - JT HMC AI S7
I have the Met and S7/S7+1 installed and I have copied the three files from one folder to the other, but the sim refuses to do anything than whinge that it can't make the AI train.
The scenarios without the AI S-stock trains run perfectly, so perhaps I am missing something.
I have:
TS2021 Met & Advance S7+1 DLC Virtual District Line 2.2 + patch for Easy Does It & Standard Stock Heritage scenarios T/Op package Emma Clarke package Assorted packages that the ReadMe/Manual told me were necessary.
Is there a way to make it all work.

Hi Kev! There was an issue with Easy Does It, and it was fixed and is available from Ed's DropBox.
To save you reading the related posts in the Help thread, here's a repeat of the relevant info. Still worth a read back as there's more info and yet another scenario fix discussed and available. But the info below will get "Easy Does It" running for you. Or should. If you have an issue other than the one discussed (player train starting in advance of the platform), please let us know more details so we can diagnose.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the bug report, as Jimi has said somehow the 2.2 kit build stopped this scenario working. During the small fix needed he also found the Heritage Railtour with the Standard Stock scenario folder was somehow buried inside the Easy Does It folder. So there are two fixes bundled here into a 7zip file. In the zip you will find 2 scenario folders: f609882b-... = Easy Does It ff8a1b63-... = Std Stock heritage Tour
Download the 7zip file from the DropBox (link below) and unzip the folders/files into your <TS>/Content/Routes/df59cee1-........./Scenarios folder overwriting existing files. We're hosting this on Ed's DropBox until we can build a new hot patch and new installers.
