Introduction This scenario pack comprises of five scenarios, all based on the 'WCML Over Shap' route available from Steam. Set in 1990, the pack covers the Class 37, Class 47, Class 31, Mk3 DVT and Class 156. The scenarios offer varying and challenging operations and give nearly five hours of further driving on this fantastic route. Created not only to offer an engaging and challenging experience, certain weather patters at certain times of day have been chosen to show this route off in it's true beauty. Created using real timetables where appropriate, this scenario pack features the following in order to give an engaging and realistic experience. Prototypical consists Prototypical passing AI Adverse Signals & AI Interaction Adverse Weather Conditions Temporary Speed Restrictions Installation If you have downloaded this pack and are already reading this, there is a good chance you have already installed the scenarios because you have already unpackaged the .rar format and revealed the .rwp. If you are still struggling, the included .rwp can be installed using the Package Manager which can be found by using "Utilities.exe" which is located in your Steam \steamapps\common\railworks directory. Alternatively, archiving programs such as WinRar or 7- Zip can open the .rwp file and the scenarios can manually be placed in your TS2014 installation. Please note that if you are uncomfortable with moving these files manually, I take no responsibility for any damage you may cause to your install if the process is not done correctly. Official installation instructions can also be found via the user manuals, located in your install at Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Manuals After installation is complete, the scenarios should then be viewable in the scenario editor via the Single Player/Standard Scenarios option and will be located within the list for the 'WCML Over Shap' route. In the case of this scenario pack, all scenarios are prefixed with [DPS-SP08_XX] and numbered accordingly from 1 through to 4 and 'B' for the bonus scenario.

Requirements The following stock used has been chosen to try and replicate the correct workings from the real world, where possible. Although the list of required payware is quite extensive, a large proportion of users generally have many of the popular items listed below and I make no apology for the use of these items in order to be as realistic as possible. All scenario packs from DPSimulation are designed to add further enjoyment to what you have already purchased, however, if you don't own some of the items then please note that RWTools offers a facility to 'swap out' any items that you don't have meaning that these scenario packs should be accessible to all in some form. If you do swap out items, you do so at your own risk and DPSimulation cannot be held responsible for the any scenario not working as originally intended because of this process.

Things such as a high level domain and server costs do mount up, along with the purchase of the relevant research materials and tools to create our content.
