Hi! I am looking for some tips on the Appen Freight session. I get through the first shunting with the first engine just fine.
When I move to the second engine, it has me move west off of the siding, then back east to couple up to a consist. Then I back the consist east beyond junction 2240. Then it switches that junction so I start to pull forward onto the siding.
But there is only a white arrow on a green circle. When I pass that there is a sound like I have completed a step, but no stop icon anywhere.
Then I look back east and there is a stop back on the main line again, but past the stop further east is a couple/uncouple symbol. So I back, back east again to the stop, at which point the couple/uncouple sign disappears as well. But I never reached it, so I don't know if I am supposed to drop something there?
Now I have things directing me down to the west end. When I reach the west end, it directs me to go to the same siding I had parked the first consist on, but now I am pushing this consist from behind. So by the time I even get close to the stop sign, I have gone all the way through the siding and the cars in front are going back out on the main track and I get a fail for the session. Was I supposed to runaround and get in front? There was no indication to do this.
If anyone has completed this can they tell me whether I was supposed to drop the consist before or runaround, or where I am going wrong? I looked for a youtube but could only find one for the passenger session.
EDIT: Also curious what the yellow sunburst on the upper right of the session means and what it means when it turns to a red "X"?
Second Edit: I am having trouble with the passenger session also. The last part, when I am supposed to runaround and get in front of the consist, I cannot get past junction 2618. I set it to go right, which is the direction I should go, but it tells me I am running a red every time. I can't tell what signal is supposed to change. The signal to the left of the track appears to be set by a junction further along, which does need to eventually be changed, but I am not going that far until after I couple up, and it won't let me change it at this point in the session. I would like to change it, but i does not change even though it is not locked. I think it may just be locked by the session.
Thanks for any tips!
