    SLI Amtrak P42DC will not load into OR

    I cannot get the new SLI Amtrak units to load into OR... I get error msg " InvalidDataException: Can't find player locomotive in activity". any suggestions for a fix would be welcome I'm attaching the log file.
    I thought it might be a cabview issue, but from what I can tell, everything looks right. These are unmodified... directly from SLI, so it must be something else. Any help would be appreicated thx

    They work perfectly fine in OR for me. Your OR log doesn't show any errors regarding those locomotives.

      It appears you are running an activity in which the P42s are part of an AI consist. It may be a problem with the stock that is in your train or a different AI consist. Try the units in Explore mode.

        I tried it in explore mode, and it loads.... but only the trailing unit shows. It's an AI unit. If I put 2 driveable units in the consist, then I get the error msg. Everything else that I use locomotive-wise loads with no problems. By the way, I absolutely love OR.
        Keep up the great work. Can't wait for the finished product.

          I just realized that I sent the wrong log file... let's try this again. Sorry for the confusion.

            Dave,
            the reason certain models are not showing is Open Rails is having trouble paring some of the eng or cvf files. If the parsing cannot complete, the model will not show in the game. Would you mind zipping up the AMTK_P42DC_66.eng & P42CAB.cvf files? The OR team needs to take a look at them.
            Thanks
            Chris

              Absolutely. I have them here now. Hopefully it's something simple.
              Thanks again for your help, and thanks for such a great product. I don't even use MSTS anymore. OR is just so much better..even at this early stage.

                I was able to get Open Rails to work with the SLI P42DC locomotive by making an edit to the cab view file. Open file P42CAB.cvf and find the CombinedControl element. The NumPositions element first has a count of the number of positions and then a list of index values between zero to one less than the count. The first index is out of bounds and needs to be changed.

                NumPositions ( 10 1056964608 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 )

                Change the value of the first index value after the position count to zero.

                NumPositions ( 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 )

                      This seems to be an issue with quite a few SLI locos.
