I know this as so many others is a quite late reply. But just wanted to share my extreme LOVE for the AOS scenarios, its just pure nostalgia and pleasure. And i love all the little dialogs and options there are. Its just wonderful. Even tho ofc it´s easy to know that when you get an offer for paying several millions or not, its definitely worth paying 2.5$ million for something, when you need a book value of over hundred of millions, those 2.5$ is worth just for testing purposes. Which is why it could be fun, if there was some options that would just backfire and not pay back or would be more random. But it was really fun. I loved all of them. All though the second one and first one was extremly easy and the next ones, this one was by far for me the hardest.
I played on expert again, and bronze and silver was easy enough, the personal networth aswell. But i was like 2 years or so from winning before the crash came and was at 175 million in company book value. The express speed contract didn´t seem to do much, except for the initial 2 million i got. And another thing that bugged me was that the government took away the 1000+ mile track i had saved to 0. I thought i´d get it back So that was a bit of a bummer. Plus on the replayablity allthose newspapers and pop-ups was a bit much

But i love this scenario. Its definitely a time waster, allthough i was looking to get it done. Still gonna play it some more. But always went for arkansas and then industry. A very interresting scenarioo, and extremly impressive that this is made from scratch. I only got compliments to say about it, all the other stuff is just minor complaints about nothing really.
Still gonna have to try and get a gold a bit faster, as there gotta be a way :P The crash was fun to manipulate but didn´t expect my company to suffer 50 millions in penalty for those 2-3 years :p First time i actually lost where i just wanted to see how things would go. Was so fun!. Anyway hope i can report back with a gold win soon enough :P
Edit: Nope only managed silver on expert, for some reason i get huuuuge amounts of negative cash all the time which is extemly frustrating, and i can see fuel is taking over 10mill per year. dispite trains claiming to be "outstanding"in fuel economy. On easy, medium, and hard its super easy to get gold. I could see i lost 100 mill due to playing on expert compared to hard. SO close to win gold, oh well. After 10 hours in this gotta take a break. With a little luck it should be possible :p or a new way of doing it. I love the challenge here
What did everyone else do step by step to get gold on expert? Im thinking even more focus on trains might be worth it even tho my industries were making a ton of profit. And had 150 trains with lot of profit too and i couldnt use more track )i used medium track this time) so not sure what to do diffrent tbh.
