I'm not sure if I should be posting this here or in the TS15 board, but in this new version I don't see any way to load a saved scenario. In prior editions, there was the "resume" option, but it's gone now. Is there any way to continue my scenarios? This issue is quite concerning.

Select the scenario in the list, then click on "Resume" at lower right.

Right, but what about Quick-Drive scenarios?

You're right, there is no resume for Quick Drive.

Was there ever?
And what would be the point?
I see QD as a kind of one-shot, throw-away scenario.

Yes there was, in TS2014. I found it very useful, especially when testing a loco on different routes in different weather settings and times of day. It was much quicker to set up a test run using QD than going into the scenario editor and creating a dozen free roams. I'd use save/resume a lot when testing. For example, I might save when the loco has reached top speed, then change something in the script, re-export it, then start up TS and resume the QD to see the effect of the change. I certainly miss being able to do that. There's also a case for any player to want to save/resume a QD. A QD doesn't necessarily have to be a short duration scenario. You might have set up one that takes several hours, be halfway through it and get called away. You probably would be annoyed at not being able to complete the remaining part later, instead having to start all over again from the beginning.

Try this:
Select the locomotive you were using when you saved the QD. Under the standard scenario tab and on the route that you played the saved QD on, there should be a scenario called "Quick Drive Scenario".

I tried that, but I couldn't even find the locomotive I used. I was using the ES44AC NS on the Monongahela Coal line, and I really doubt that that route and that locomotive came with absolutely no standard scenarios.

I picked a locomotive and route that I knew had no standard scenarios other than anything I may have downloaded from the workshop. I have not done any further testing to see if it is only the last saved QD that is kept.

Select the locomotive only and scroll through the list until you find scenarios for the route. With the NS coal line, any standard scenarios should be those you created or downloaded.

Same here, when testing brakes.

I see.
Too bad they took that away.
Another strike for this new UI.
