    Horseshoe Curve position lights and other issues.

    I was running an activity on the route and noticed that all the position lights are dark. Is this a bug in the OR programming and if not how can I fix this. I also notice that when starting in Altoona that the headlights did not reflect from the ground when turned on and some of the cars in trains that were passing were all gray instead of showing their markings. After saving and resuming the activity the headlights operated properly and the cars were no longer gray. Could this be a memory issue? I currently have 8 gigs of ram. My CPU is an AMD quad core running at 3.20 ghz.

      There are activities for the route one can download in the library, as well as a payware pack which has some:

        I do not use any downloads from anywhere which require additional downloads !

        The Streamlines activities are not compatible with the one from the File Library, no doubt having a different track layout !

        There is no point in downloading any activity until I know which version of it the OP uses, Freeware or Payware !

        It also depends on which rolling stock is being used by these activities having problems, default or add-on.

          Do you have bin or are you using the default MSTS install?

          There is a well known bug with a limit on lights.

            I'm using BIN. When I ran the activity thru MSTS I didn't have this problem.

              I would like to check this on my WIN-XP and WIN-7 computers but not knowing which version of the HSC you are using and what activity can not do so.

                Otto I was using the NS23w activity which starts at Altoona. The only version I know of is the one downloaded from the file library.

                    Do a search for Bob Pickering in the library. There are a number of activities that are in this pak. HSCmap.zip is the file.

                      OR is a work in progress. More than likely, there's some kind of incompatability with the file. When I first tested my signals that I created with OR, they didn't light. It was an easy fix, in the Signal Definitions, I had to rearrange the lights in numerical order. If you could post the sigcfg.dat here on the forum, I'll scan it, I can probably fix it pretty easily.

                        I've never attached anything here so I'm not sure how to do that. I could send you an e-mail with it.

                          Having downloaded it's APK the Route Riter finds masses of rolling stock used by it I do not have.

                              Thanks Otto. At least you gave it a shot.
