    ATSF Seligman Route in Autopilot

    I have a question about this freeware route of ATSF Seligman ( Bob Wirth's ) not Streamlines payware. No problem to download the six files from the file library of trainsim. Also install the route into my folder, MSTS in I drive. Ran through the program of Route_Riter to check the missing files and everything is good to go and simulate this route. I changed some of the locomotives that I prefer to have Dieselswest Dash 9 instead of MSTS Dash 9. I decided to run this activity in Autopilot and the train did not even move and all you see is the throttle jumping back and forth and the number is up and down very fast. The train is stalling in Autopilot and I decided to turn off the Autopilot then the train start to move or running on the tracks with the throttle (keyboard commands). Is there a reason why can't run this route in Autopilot? I try other routes beside ATSF Seligman and no problem to run the simulator but not with ATSF Seligman. I don't know why? Also I did not bother to install the four exe files that come with the package of this route. Here are below:

    siglightdflt

    siglighdist

    trns45

    trnsdflt


    Any idea with those four exe files? If you know what it is and please explain about this. I don't see any information about these exe files in readme.txt from Bob Wirth. Hopefully someone have the answer about why is the activity can't run in Autopilot with this freeware route of ATSF Seligman.

    Thank you,

    John

    I have had this happen a couple of times. It is the "Cab-View" that seems to have the issue, the way the controls are set up. I have changed out to suitable Cab Views from Streamlines usually, they don't seem to have this issue and are decent cabs. I have a few DW locomotives, so I don't use them much, mostly CNW and ATSF. I don't know if it something with their cabs or not. By changing out the cabview file it seems to go away and function normal with the Streamlines or Charlie's cabs here in the F/L. I have had it happen when using a cab with the wrong controls, such as when it is set up for a Control Stand and the cabview has a Desktop.

      Did try with Streamlines locomotive and still the same even with MSTS Dash 9 locomotive. I am not sure what else is the problem with this program of Open Rails with Autopilot.
