AI trains acting wacky???

[bootednancy]

Hello fellows:

I am sold on Open Rails for most of my Train Sim mini-installs of many routes. The operation is far better as everyone has said than MSTS, however I have been having a strange problem.

I have the Pro Train series of German and Austrian route CDs and have loaded them into my OR set-up. If I run the Pro Train selections in MSTS, it's the usual sputter, and stall loading AI trains and not exactly perfect graphics some times.

If I run the activities in OR usually everything graphics and operations wise is far better EXCEPT the AI trains behave wacky. Some of them don't appear at all, some activities some trains appear in a different order (than they should in MSTS) and some activities AI trains will just sit at stop signals....not waiting for other moves...just basically "lined up" along the route instead of being in motion passing the Player train like they should. This has also occurred sometimes in route activities other than the Pro Train ones. I had problem with a train in a Russian route (Odessa 1.2) entering the terminal, and it just croaks at one of the switches and wont move any further.

What is the problem that I am having with the AI trains and how does one go about "curing" it????

Thanks for the information and help
Doug

Yea, had the same problem. Start using the timetable to making activities. I'm on day two and still punching holes in the wall trying to figure most of this out. Not many video tutorials out there yet. However my first test activity from balt/dc had the AI trains running to perfection.
