Engines not appearing in Open Rails but do appear in MSTS

Here is a screen shot from the Dunktown Turnaround activity in the Full Bucket Route from MSTS:



Here is a screen shot from the same activity in Open Rails (note that the two locomotives are missing)

When I try the same activity with OpenRails the two SD40 locomotives are visible.

Could you try creating a new activity for this route with just an SD40 for the player consist? If you would attach a copy of the SD402 engine (.eng) file I could compare that with my copy of the file.

I do not know how to create an activity. Send me a PM with your email, and I will forward the eng file.

There's something in the ENG file that OR is having trouble with ... I've seen this problem before. Please attach a copy of the OR log file when you run this activity. BTW, where are the models from?

I sent the engine files and the log file to krausyao

Attached is a copy of the SD402 engine (.eng) file from my installation. Richard, if you use this file does the engine appear in OpenRails? Using the engine (.eng) file that Richard sent the SD402 engine is visible in OpenRails. Perhaps the consist file is the cause?

There is a case difference in the name of the engine. In the consist

Engine (
UiD ( 22 )
EngineData ( sd402 SD402 )
)

The file name is lower case, sd402, while in the engine file the wagon name is upper case.

Wagon ( SD402
Type ( Engine )
WagonShape ( sd402.s )

I am running Windows Vista Business 32-bit and from the log Richard is running a 64-bit version of Windows. Which version of Windows? Perhaps case sensitivity is different among operating system versions. You could try changing the consist to upper case.

Using the new file, the engine still did not appear in Open Rails.

Also I am running Windows 7 64 bit

Another possible cause for the locomotive to not appear in OpenRails is the shape file, sd402.s This shape file had an extra back slash character ( \ ) that also created problems with ShapeViewer. This problem with the shape file was first described a few year ago, see https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showth...564#post885564

Open the shape file with a text editor and search for the character

tcb_key ( 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 )\

Remove the character and save the file

tcb_key ( 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 )

That solved the problem - thanks.
