Open Rails won't load my custom consist.

[austinthatrainman]

Can anyone help me please? My consist that i made with the MSTS activity editor will not load in the latest release of Open Rails. All of the default consists load normally, except the ones I made. Help will be greatly appreciated.

post your consist and the OR log file

[motormaster532]

Yeah, Ihad that happen as well on 2 custom activities. One was on the CSX M&M Sub,the other on Boston and Maine 3. I got a fatal error message "System.Argument Out of Range Exception".If this is what you have than please report it as a bug to "Open Rails Bug Tracker" Brian

Are we talking about consists or activities?

[austinthatrainman]

Well i think both because when i make a consist and save it and then run Open Rails it doesn't show up when you pick a consist to drive.

[rdamurphy]

Can you send me the .con file, or just attach it here, please?

Robert

[austinthatrainman]

I'm sorry to ask this but where is the.CON file located?

You don't pick a consist, you select an activity that has a consist associated with it.

The AE isn't the most obvious tool. You have to drill down from an activity, to a path to a consist. And then make sure to Save everything before you exit.

You should be able to chose any consist for an Explore in either MSTS or OR. It will be listed under the locomotive.

I just have the default consist on OR. When i make a custom consist it shows up in MSTS but not OR.

Talking about two different things here. The AE is part of MSTS and has nothing to do with Open Rails. In both MSTS and Open Rails you first choose explore route, then the locomotive, then the consist. The difference is in the path selected. In MSTS it is free roam, in OR thus far it is locked.

I know you can bypass the locomotive selection, but using it slims down the consist selection list by quite a bit.

That unlocking of the path crept in under the radar.

[austinthatrainman]

Whenever I click start with explore route selected, I cannot find the locomotive that I want.
