    AI loco not showing.

    I was running an activity on the Cajon 4.2. When an AI train passed me the lead loco was not visible. Only the headlight and ditch lights were visible. I switched out the lead AI with another unit and got the same results. What is causing this and what can I do on my end to fix it. Yes I did do a search on this but didn't find anything. The activity is the BNSF M-BARSDG1-11A. The original loco in question is the SLI.UPAC SP 177.

      Claude, the other unit that you used as a substitute.....is it created by the same person/people as the one which initially was invisible?

      I had a similar problem with some 3rd. party diesels on the MILW RMD route.
      They were all made by the one creator (can't recall who it was) and I could never get anything to appear other than the lights and the exhaust.

      Never had the problem with any other item of rolling stock, only with those three.

        Now Claude, The lack of any answers may have given you a clue that nobody has one for you. I have a consist that does the same, and I have not sorted it out yet.

          It's all good. At least you did say you were having this problem. That's better than nothing at all, good or bad.

            Found the answer to my problem, The engine folder only had the eng and ace files, the s and sd had gone awol for some reason. Only found that out by studying the log file.

                I ran the same activity in MSTS and the loco was visible. Got no error messages at all.

                  A shot in the dark:

                  Does the model rely heavily on Freight Anim to display? Could be that OR is having difficulty sorting that?

                    Not sure. I switched out the offending loco and got the same results.
