Trainz Route: Appen DLC

Another route with broken sessions. It's a very small model, with two small sessions (about half an our each) and free drive mode. I don't think there is much to do in terms of free drive, as the model is very small. The external model for the locomotives included in this DLC is ok, however the internal cabin model has low polygon and low texture resolution. I guess they might be from an older version of the game. About the sessions, the first one is for freight service and works fine, however the second one for passenger sevice doesn't. When you get train 5 on session two, you will be asked to take the train to a platform, uncouple, maneuver the locomotive to the other side of the pessenger cars, re-couple and proceed to final destination. At this point, both lanes will have red lights, which will create you trouble, and prevented you to move forward. I've tried many things to unlock these signals, without success, so this is the work around: 1. Stay in the same line of the passenger cars and put your locomotive in reverse, push the cars backwards slowly and uncouple the locomotive from the cars. The inertia will keep the cars moving, and make the last car pass the red light. Once this happens, re-couple your locomotive to the cars (while in movement) and keep moving to take the last car until the stop marker for a full stop. 2. Reverse the locomotive and bring the consist back to the platform. Once you stop at the platform, you will be asked to take the train to its final destination. You will do so driving backards. 3. In order to pass the red light again, you got to repeat the procedure of uncopling and re-coupling the locomotive to the cars in movement. The deal is: If the cars are uncoupled from the locomotive, they can pass red light without ending the session. If you re-couple your locomotive to the cars, and the red light is in the middle of the consist, the game's AI undestands your consist is in the other side of the red light, and it doesn't penalize you. This should allow you to get 5 stars in this session. Should you spend money to buy this DLC? I will let you answer this question yourself :)
