    Indian Trivandrum Express route in OpenRails fails to start

    G'day, I have installed the Indian route Grand Southern Route (gst) and all is OK there, but the install of the activity Trivandrum Express (trivandrum_express.zip) RouteRiter finds no errors but OR has a missing path problem as per the screen capture.
    I have attached the OR log file in the attachrd zip. I was wondering if it is a broken path but have got no way of checking it.

    Open the route in the Activity Editor and you will be able to see if there is a broken path and repair it.
    I recall also that there is a path editor on the OR Tools section.

    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

      G'day Vince, I should have been a bit clearer as I do not have MSTS and that is why I cannot check it.
      I might just delete the activity if it cannot be resolved.

        Your screenshot of the OR menu window shows that OR does not recognize the path, nor the player locomotive, nor the consist. The log file says that OR does not find the end of the .act file. So the .act file seems to have a problem.
        If you post the zipped .act file here it may be possible to find out what is wrong.

            In the .act file the arrival and departure times of the player train are negative (they are all equal to -120). This has no sense, however it is known that in particular situations the MSTS AE generates such values, which the activity creator should correct. Probably MSTS can live with them, while OR can't.
            Attached you have a release of the .act file where I replaced the -120s with 30480 (the starting hour of the activity expressed in seconds). This way the activity should run, if there aren't further errors.
