What is the Scenario Planner?
Create your own scenarios and timetables by combining multiple services, chaining paths and using custom weather settings.
The path selection has been increased, giving you more options to play with. Tell a story with introductory text at the start of a scenario. Get immersed by adding AI driven services that spawn/de-spawn from off-world portals to create a sense of an interconnected network.
Important: Complex combinations of custom liveries, custom formations, and custom scenarios can be very resources intensive. There are no limits on what you can create, so some consoles may struggle with more complex designs.
How do I access the Scenario Planner?
- Select (Main Menu > Creators Club > Scenario Planner).
How do I create a scenario?
Creating a new scenario
Select a route from the Scenario Planner menu.
Then, press Create New.
Enter a Name and Description for the scenario.
Set what Time you would like the scenario to start.
Enable "Off the Rails" if you would like to use a train which would not normally be compatible with this route.
Then, click on Edit Weather and set the conditions for the scenario.
Adding a Service
Now you can select Add New Service.
Give the service a Name, and Start Time.
Choose whether the player will be driving this service.
Then, set the service type as either Passenger or Freight.
Configuring a Player Service
- Select Set Train and choose which train and formation you will be driving. Take note of the train length as this will affect where you can stop.
- Then, select Add New Path.
- Select a Start Marker, the number next to the platform represents the platform length.
- Then Confirm Start Marker.
- Select and confirm the Destination.
- Select and confirm your service instructions (Stopping Points).
- Then Confirm the service to complete.
Chaining a Path (TSW 4+ Routes Only)
- You can continue the service from your previous Destination.
- Select Add New Path and select a new Destination.
- Select the service instructions and confirm the path.
Configuring an AI Service
Setting up an AI service is done much in the same way as a Player Service. However, you will need to deselect Player Service from the Service Details. Now, you can select portals as your Start or End point.
