Missing Consists

[crstagg]

That is what I thought, but just wanted to confirm it wasn't doing anything else - still odd that it recognizes the Consist and displays it correctly but does not show the Loco in the OR Menu.

A known problem in MSTS when the lead loco of the Player Consist does not have the filename, 2 Engine lines and Wagon Line exactly the same MSTS displays a blank for the Loco. OR may have a similar problem. Again I suggest running the RR 6 step process. The process is not a test. RR edits ENG, WAG, CON, ACT and SRV files to insure that every instance of ASTF, astf, AsTF is always ASTF.

Ran RR again...no problems found and went through and processed everything. OR Menu still does not display the Loco, while MSTS does display it. OR Menu does however display the Consist in the other Menu view.

Any new opinions on why this might be occurring?

You may have better luck, if you posted the OpenRails log file. Also if the route/consist is payware or freeware. If freeware where available.

It occurs with any route - the files included in the consist are from here:

https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/tslib.php?do=copyright&fid=28035

I have posted the consist and the log file does not show anything relevant from what I can see with regards to what gets loaded for each OR menu.

Here is the problem the filename of the ENG file and the Engine and Wagon Lines all have "gordon". The consist you posted in post number 5 has
EngineData ( Gordon mstsgord )
change that to
EngineData ( gordon mstsgord )
and test it. That problem SHOULD have been fixed by running Route Riter's 6 step process which you claim to have done twice.

Wrong Gordon - but it is happening with both of them. Here is the other consist file:

SIMISA@@@@@@@@@@JINX0D0t______

Train (
TrainCfg ( Gordon_The_Big_Engine

Wagon (

)

Again gordon spelled with a capital G and the Wagon Uid line in the wrong place!

Post the first 10 lines of the Gordon.eng file from the folder Gordon-1. And is the file spelt Gordon.eng or gordon.eng?

[monon15]

This is the directory/filename: gordon-1/gordon.eng

Another question. What did you use to create the Consist file?

Using following .con file

Copy scotsmen CABVIEW folder to gordon trainset to have proper cabview; this was also needed for MSTS

change line # 203 in gordon.eng file to:
CabView ( scotsman.cvf )

This is the directory/filename: gordon-1/gordon.eng

Then in the CONSIST file the Enginedata line should read
EngineData ( gordon gordon-1 ) <Note little g gordon>
NOT
EngineData ( Gordon gordon-1 )

Correct it...still no luck. I have run this through RR all 6 steps. It displays fine still in MSTS.

You have a PM with my email address I want you to send me the CON file.

Your Problem is Bolded in RED above. In post #24 you said "This is the directory/filename: gordon-1/gordon.eng"

The folder name is "gordon-1" so the Enginedata line should be
EngineData ( gordon gordon-1 )
you left off the "-1" on the folder name.
FYI the format is Enginedata ( filename foldername )
