    Finally found something to complain about with OR.

    I've noticed that OR tries to be smarter than me. I'm working on editing some locomotives, in particular Deanno's Iowa Interstate GP38 set that used to be on Trackside Productions. I'm editing the lighting sections and an error that apparently only bugs OR has shown up. I can't find anything running them through Conbuilder testing and visually inspecting shows everything to be fine, but OR is refusing to load consist with the edited unit. Even more annoying OR is swapping in a duplicate engine from the consist to replace the one that has the issue. There is nothing in the OR log file to indicate the problem.

    To be more clear. OR is refusing to load #708 or #717 even if they are the selected consist. Instead or loads 720 and replaces 708 or 717 with it. All 3 are identical. Seriously what is going on here!


    NOW WHAT?

                      AKAIK Open Rails is not capable of swapping out locomotives for you. I don't think the team has provided the coding for Artifical Intelligence, maybe after version 1.0.

                      And...yes let us all in on your "DOH" moment, we've all had them...

                          Well, OR if it barfs on an eng has a tendency to stick you in the next available working engine. That's what I meant by my comment.

                              How about an explanation with more detail. I have no problem with this set.

                                  Okay, I'm dense..but are you referring to using Ctrl+E to change cabviews - as in from the Lead to the 2nd engine..it having no Cabview, OR will jump to the third (next available)

                                  Otherwise, I don't follow what you mean by the word "barfs" ... the specific detailed circumstances as opposed to ralphing, puking, bringing up a Buick, blowing chunks, heaving, bowing before the porcelin throne, tossing cookies, AND finally (I know this is taking a long time) emesis: the involuntary, forceful expulsion of the contents of one's stomach through the mouth and sometimes the nose.

                                  (Apologies - another case of just not exercising personal restraint) (I do so love the phrase "and sometimes the nose")
