Thanks Charles, when I thought about it, I suspected it was something like that, apologies to geepster.

Static Consists not showing in Activity

Thanks for all the help and opinions on the various programs. Thanks BALDWIN for explaining about the steam loco warnings.

I have been working with ConBuilder 6.0, and now the unsupported version 6.4....as I use it only a little as most times I will manually edit the CON files or static object list if I have to change rolling stock. I know Gerry that in those versions, you had to "dupe" ConBuilder into a folder that was Train Simulator, you couldn't select others in mini-installs called something else. I don't see anything by Slipperman with a program jump on ConBuilder...I know he has one for Tony Formoso's TrainStore that will select other installs and call up only what is needed from them for a scenario.

Finally got the activity to show what was missing after banging away at the WAG and ENG files, so I am in the stage of running it successfully with just having to adjust the AI times here and there. It is worth the work Gerry, so try it.

NOW there's a part 2 to this I have to work up and get running.....but knowing a lot more about the OR Log has helped.

Hi Doug,

I don't see anything by Slipperman with a program jump on ConBuilder...

Please try MSTS_Swap (msts_swap_v1_5.zip) which, despite the file name, is v1.6

Cheers,
Ged

I've already started, decided to replace all the equipment with BLW_ZT stuff. So first thing I did was to make up a list of the WagonData lines and refine those to a workable, sorted list. Then start substituting using Search and Replace...easy enough, time consuming, but that is one aspect of a hobby. List is attached for those that want to try.
OffTopic: To anyone...do invisiocars work in OR, like they did in MSTS...I thought not, but I'm not sure.

WagReplace.zip <<< wagon substitute list for activity "cdyard12.zip"

"Unsupported version 6.4" ?? When Joe Smith announced that sales of ConBuilder was ending ( see https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showth...48#post1935648 ) he stated that the Support Forum would remain open. The last version offered and still available for download by registered users is 6.2.3. I have never heard of a version 6.4.

Since you have a version 6.x, have you tried to use MSTS Manager which is a part of the ConBuilder Suite of programs and is installed by the ConBuilder installer? MSTS Manager scans your PC to locate all MSTS installs a and offers a menu from which you can change the MSTS registry path then start ConBuilder on the new path or open MSTS sim on the new path or open MSTS Editor on the new path. BTW the scan takes a long time if you have a lot of HD space so an alternate solution is the manually enter the MSTS install paths into a text file named msts.dat in your ConBuilder folder. Placing each path on a new line.
