Marc Nelson's "Surfliner" Amtrak locos - no cabview in OR

[eric]

I first removed all in that line from the # to the ) and it did not work.

Then I removed the entire Sanding ( 15mph ) line and it still does not work !

This line ORTS is having problems with may not be proper MS compilers code but the Train.exe reading it has no problems with it.

My commercial Accounting, Point-of-Sale and Payroll programs can not have any source code reading problems of any sort, PERIOD, or there would be mayhem with users, ruining my professional reputation as an Accountant, the UK Inland Revenue would also not be happy with !

Do you give away your commercial programs for free? Do you develop them on your free time?...

If the file still isn't working with the line removed, then you obviously have a problem somewhere else. Are you sure you didn't convert it to a non-Unicode encoding by mistake?

I agree with Robert and Mike, OR should be able to point out these "non-optimal" data entries so that they could be fixed by the users. Just because MSTS never had a problem with these does not mean that they should be allowed to continue on into the future of MSTS/OR. That is a bit of backward compatibility that could easily be dropped. It only hurts the first few times through, but the end result is "properly" formatted lines in the data files, which is a huge plus in my book.

Mystery solved.

I was not aware that I have 2 Trainset folders, the 2004 3DTrains_Surfliner one and the 2005 Surfliner_Amtrak folder, the latter being the folder this Surfliner-2 activity is looking for.

I must have got the 2005 3DTrains Surfliner with the ill fated Payware Surfliner route !

Removed the #........ part in the 2005 version *.ENG file to just leave that line looking like this Sanding ( 15mph ) and it is now working like it does for others, including train brakes.

Case closed for me !
