TrainSimulations Heavy_Winter_Westbound Activity

[cn bala]

I have a question about " How to uncouple the first car from the third locomotive in that activity, Heavy_Winter_Westbound. I have no problem about uncouple between the first car and the third locomotive. But how do I get over to between the third locomotive and first car then I can uncouple them. For some reason, I did with key command " 2 " but can't go further to the right spot with the end of the third locomotive. Tell me what key command do I have to go over between the third locomotive and the first car to uncouple. I am learning with this and not an expert like others -- geepster775 and others who know-how.

Smile,

John

Use the F9 train operations HUD.

Yes I did with that but can't uncouple from there in F9 train operations HUD. It has to be something else with uncoupling the cars.

That with F9 HUD will work with MSTS but not with Open Rails.

Did you close the Rear Angle Cock on the third loco before breaking the Brake line and the MU connection and uncoupling?

[cn bala]

Oh that's new to me and how do I do this to close the rear angle cock on the third loco?

John

[mmax45581]

Click on the loco in the F9 train operations HUD. In the menu that then pops up, click on the appropriate line which says just that. (Or the fast way: Press Shift+― to reset the brakes)

I guess you need to repeat the Brakeman 101 course. Pay close attention when the instructor covers 7.4.11 F9 Train Operations Monitor from the Manual.

Pay attention or the Superintendent will demote you back to cleaning the toilets in the round house, if you fail to close the angle cocks before uncoupling and throw the consist into Emergency again. BTW that really pisses off the engineer.

Has anyone noticed that the rear engine is not powering.
My hud shows zero power at the rails.

As I have seen before, a duplicate engine will not power.
Engines 3 and 4 (rear) are the same.
Substituted sd40 5178 for the rear engine and it powers.

Hi Derek,
do these engines have in their .eng file ORTS specific parameters? And if yes, could you point to a download link for such an engine, or at least make me available the .eng file? What you mention seems to be a bug.

Hi Carlos,

Hi John,

I had some trouble between my mouse driver and the f9.
I had to place the mouse a bit below the coupler to get it to uncouple.
See what you find.

Hi Derek,

Thank you for the tip and did not realize that have to place the mouse down further from the F9 HUD Train Operations. Got them to work. I think that the team of Open Rails should look into this because the same with " Activity Events " that I have to move my mouse further down to close the box. Would like to see the mouse pointer show in the box where to uncouple or close the box not just outside the box. Hope that Carlos Santucci will look into this both with Activity Events and F9 HUD Train Operations.
