Hello, I am attempting to create a new Metra scenario for the Racetrack route. I've been able to get started quite well using the excellent tutorials from micaelcorleone (thank you!) and I have the scenario nearly complete but I have run into one issue:

At most stations, the train loads/unloads passengers for the 35 seconds that is set in the scenario editor. But at some stations, the loading bar will get to the end and stay there without ending the loading. At Berwyn it probably stayed like this for about 30-45 seconds, then eventually the doors closed, same thing happened at Stone Avenue. While these cases were annoying, they weren't scenario breakers. However, when I got to Western Springs, the train sat with the doors open for about 3-4 minutes before I finally gave up.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this? One other thing I noticed is that there seems to be a lot of people milling about the platform at these stations, almost like these stations are programmed for much higher passenger loads or something?

I'm new to this so not fully aware of all the intricacies of scenario building just yet.

Thanks!

In case anyone else runs into this, the fix was to make sure no station stops were set to 100%. Not sure why this was the issue, but changing this to 75% did the trick.

I<m not sure, but I think if you have a timetabled scenario, with a fixed time to get to each station, the game calculates the leaving time for each station. If you get to the station 2 minutes early, you still can't leave before scheduled time, so you'll wait 2 minutes more.

Thanks for the reply Chacal, in this case i was actually running late.

The scenario is now posted on the workshop, Metra 1325.

I had an issue one night recently running a Racetrack career scenario (can't remember the name, it is an inbound express leaving Aurora). I was starting to run a bit behind by Naperville. When I made my station stop there, it never ended. The doors remained open & there were hundreds of people on the platform milling about. After 10 minutes or so, I decided to save. Confirming the Save crashed TS2016 to desktop. Haven't run another Racetrack scenario yet to see if I can recreate that trouble.
My installation of the paid version of Ts2016 seems to crash a lot these days, usually after running a couple of scenarios. Always fails to save a dump file.
