UK DMU - Getting Moving?

[Stuz]

Following on from the above I have changed all the relevant ,eng files and still have the single cars showing in the activity. a bit of mystery here. Any more help to solve this would be appreciated. (no big deal but it would be good to get a result)
Regards Stu.


Edit. The carriage that passes me has an open end facing so is a trailer. It needs a motor car leading.

Hi Stu,
Just a thought ...
Do you have your TRAINSET folder within C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86)? If so, that will be your answer! Your modified files are not saved in their original location. The solution is to move the "MSTS" root folder out of its current location and into its own folder.

Hi Ged,
MEP is a MiniRoute in C: There is something strange going on though because the programme does not wont to accept the changes I made to the smoke effects on another DMU in another activity.
Regards Stu.

Hi Stu,
Where, EXACTLY, on drive C: is the mini-route installed - please give the full path.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi,
With regard to MEP "Dreary DMU Day" there are two AI DMU early on the activity that glide passed with only one car. I presume there should be two but I cant identify them so as to change the Eng. file to enable them to show, if this is indeed the case. Could someone be kind enough to identify them? My activity editor wont open on this activity for some reason Maybe because I have already altered the 104DTCL as per Shawmuts earlier post
Regards Stu.

Hi Stu,

I wonder if there is something amiss with your MEP mini-route installation. I've got MEP installed as a mini-route on both my C:\ and D:\ drives and they both work as intended with virtually any amount of OpenRails folders in the Engine and Wag folders. Further, the Dreary Day DMU scenario opens up in the activity editor just fine. See pix below:

Are the modified engine files located in an OpenRails folder within the MEP-BRCW104 folder (see pic below). If this doesn't solve the problem, I wonder if a deletion and re-install of the mini-route might help? Just guessing here, I hasten to add.

Hi David,
My OpenRails folder is in C:/ OpenRails. When I modified the Eng. file as you suggested in "Dreary DMU Day" I then had the 6th car attached to the DMU. However trying to get the AI DMUs to show the extra cars by modifying there Eng. Files does not work. I still have single car DMUs passing me with no attached power car.

Hi Stu,

Attached is a zip file; within that zip file is a folder called "MEP-BRCW104." Drop that folder into your Trainset folder and allow all overwrites. Then try out Dreary Day again and let me know if it solves your problem.

Hi David,
Many thanks for taking the time to solve this problem! Yesterday I replaced my present MEP Route with a copy I had on an external drive from a couple of years ago. So a vanilla install. I could load the editors without fault. Today I installed your BRCW zip and the Dreary DMU Day turned into a very bright one, at least from where I was sitting!
I have not tried the editors yet.

Don't forget to change the 105 trailers, they have the same problem.

Shame the same function does not exist TS2019.

Totally agree, I asked the question on a TS forum and got a lot of SA answers
like Autopilot is for FSX, trains do not have Autopilot.

I cannot disagree, but since almost nothing else in TS is real world why pick
on Autopilot as not realistic.

I use OR Autopilot a lot, just to watch and see the trains....

Quick bump. Notice on the latest update, MEP DMU's now supported. Quick test with a Derby Lightweight set and working fine.

Tip top.

Many thanks to the team for fixing this. Can now enjoy the many and varied DMU scenarios on this iconic route.

[haverfordwest]

Completely agree with you Daniel.

Good info Vern, thanks for the heads up.

I have one problem. The display of the gear engaged shows 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% not 1, 2, 3, 4 as it should.
