RMD_East (by Lukas Lusser, aka "Swissie") running under OR

What gives you that impression, me saying that:

You need to go find your sense of humor, Otto. It seems to have escaped you lately.

Dear collegues,

I wouldn't want to give a deadline to promise its completion. There's some 15 miles of scenery, some 60 miles of powerlines, and some 50 miles of interactives left to place, compared to roughly 360 miles or so of track in the entire route (counting in both the Milw and the NP with the various branches). So it's definitely more than just half way done ;o)

Seriously: I am within a few stone's throw from the location of the Milwaukee Road's last spike monument - situated inbetween Garrison and Gold Creek, not far from the NP's counterpart near Phosphate - and the moment when I place Simon's rendition of that monument in the route, this will also officially mark the driving of the last spike for the virtual RMD_West. I'll anounce it in the screen shot forum when the crowd has gathered for this ceremony...

Cheers, Lukas

I'll have my virtual large-format glass-plate camera and magnesium flash-powder all ready, Lukas.

Hey, First off id like too say I love this route both as a NP and MILW fan. But when I downloaded Lukas's activity pack and the fix installing them all properly or so I believe, The game crashes on every activity, but only on this route, and when I go to con builder to test the activities it puts the required consists in the list but cannot find them in the CONSIST directory. After verifying that they are indeed there then i got errors such as cant find RMD1.FE1.con. Assuming it was looking for RMD1_FreightElectric_01.con I casually renamed the consist. and nothing changed. Any help of fix ideas are appreciated.

First up, does everything work okay in MSTS?

You have downloaded Lucas' RDM-East activity pack from where and what is it's download ZIP called ?

I can only see a rdm_act_beta_fix1.zip in this File Library !

[slipperman]

Hi Otto,
There's this one : rmd_act_e_beta.zip (there's also a German language version!)
Note that it's RMD, not RDM!!

Cheers,

"There is this one: rmd_act_e_beta.zip"

I looked for Lukas in the MSTS Passenger Activities section and his name not being mentioned in its Description did not find it !

Created a Dummy RMD_EAST folder with a RMD_EAST.trk file in it and copied all the downloaded activities files into it and the .CON files into the Trains\Consists folder.

Running the Route Riter checking the Activities of this route only found nothing but errors, not having the rolling stock the consists are looking for ?

The RMD East activity pack runs fine in OR here. Had a look at the mentioned consist, RMD1_FreightElectric_01.con,

TrainCfg ( RMD1_FreightElectric_01
Name ( "[RMD1.FE1]E78+E72_Mixed x44" )

is what it says in the .con file. Testing with Conbuilder throws no errors with this consist, or any other consist in the set.

Just one thing, might be a mistype, but the folder should be CONSISTS, not CONSIST.

Hate bumping an older post, but since my question is pertinent to the subject...

Running RMD East in OR, I am having issues with the EP-1s, and EF-1s with respect to the bell not shutting off. Once I hit the B key, no matter how many times I hit it again, the bell stays on. The Little Joes do not experience the same phenomenon. Anyone have this issue, and if so, what was the fix?

Thanks in advance!

I'm staring at those screen shots and have to admit I've never seen exposed rock look so realistic. The way it's blended into the mountainside is amazing. Too often rocks look like they're pasted on the hillside.

Fantastic work Lukas! This is the work of a true artiste!

[kknobl]

Any word on the status of RMD West? Figured out the bell problem I described earlier and have implemented fixes, and have always enjoyed RMD East. I consider it one of the best routes around - freeware or payware. As someone else said, OR really makes this already fantastic route pop.

It has been a year and a half since Lukas announced beta-testing on the RMD-West and that was the last message from him, that I know of. Since he has always been so kind and generous in answering questions and posting topics over the years, the silence seems to say that Life has taken him in other directions, It would be great to hear from him and nice if he could read how much he is appreciated by folks responding to his many updates over the years.

It's been a year and a half, but I still keep looking for it and still have hope.
