Coal Country 2.0 - Official Route WIP Thread

I've downloaded the route and so far everything is going well. I'm missing a few dependencies but all the rolling stock and locomotives needed are here. However, in the sessions no locomotives are assigned drivers and none of the AI trains do anything. The screenshot below is from the "Tuesday Mine Run" session. I'm of course able to assign drivers to all the trains, but this again doesn't solve the AI train issue. All waypoints work as advertised.
Did you let the scinematics play through or skip them? You should end up in the cab at the end of the cinematics.

Cheers,
Piere.

Also in the first release I didnt realize some of the drivers were listed at "packaged" and not installed, if you're missing these drivers download the route and session file again. This has been updated in the latest version in the download area.

^^ Thank you for your kind words guys, really great to see you enjoying the route :)

Thank you so much Scratchy! Your route is absolutely beautiful!

EDIT: The drivers are still not present, even with a reinstall of the route and its sessions.

Yes, I did! I was able to drive the locomotives once I entered (and manually added a driver). The AI trains had no drivers and thus would block the tracks I had to be on.

For anyone interested in the RP&P, if you download the sd40-2 file again from your download area, the first skin for the loco has been modified for Operation Lifesaver, I thought it would add some more variety to the fleet.

Love this touch and I am loving the route. I am always looking for more stuff to use for the RPPX!
 
Happy New Year!!! I'm thoroughly enjoying the route! Love the scenery, industries, & locomotives! You've really outdone yourself scratchy :) Good job 👍

Not sure then, can you lodge a ticket with JR? looking at your screens in USA Pics, you are missing textures and stuff too.
 
In the process of an update to Coal Country 2, I reallly dont want to call it 2.1 but might have to.
Had some good feedback from those in the know on tweaks I should do to the signalling, also adding a lot more vegetation, different crossing bells, road linemarking, relocated switchstands align correctly and using the brilliant "AH" series of buildings from Derznovich, check them out they're great!
