Activity Refuses To Start With Train In Motion

I'm not sure if this issue has already been discussed, but with searching came no results. I made this particular activity myself, and it is for the GTA route. The activity is an extension from the trip from Oshawa, and runs express from Pickering. Since the GTAOshawa route ends at Scarborough though, and the GTA route begins, I had to make a new activity. Scarborough is not an intended stop, and I typed in the service editor for my activity to have the start speed at 90mph. However, the start speed of 90mph did not occur when I opened the activity, instead the speed was 0, and the brakes were applied. I also tried this with a GTAOshawa activity, simply running in the opposite direction to Oshawa, and the same thing happened. The speed was set for 65mph, and it began at 0, with the brakes applied. I tried it in MSTS, and it did just as commanded, starting at the speed I intended. I even went in Context and messed around with the activity and train service itself, still OpenRails did not respond to it. Is there any way I can work around this, and I can start the activity with train moving? Help is gladly appreciated, thank you.

Currently ORTS cannot start an activity with any running trains. This is something that is being looked at.

Thanks for the info. I'm excited to see the advancements the team comes out with that they've been working so hard on. For now, I guess throw it in run 8 as soon as I start the activity, no big deal.

baldwin is right.Unfortunately,at the present time no Open Rails Activity can start with the Players train in motion.On the new MLT Bala 2,the Work Train Activity started with the AI stopped in Open Rails.I didnt hang around long enough to see if it would get going.I doubt it though due to the problem you are experiencing.Back to the business at hand!When your Activity starts,just start up the train,get it to the desired speed then Save the Activity and Exit.When you wish to run your Activity.Place your cursor on Replay-Resume,scroll to the scenario that you wish to run,double click and then the Activity will pick up where you saved it,starting it in motion.Brian
