BNSF Scenic Route - Eastbound Z Train activity problem.

[niknak]

Hi guys. Anyone else had problems with the above act? I've run it twice now and keep coming up behind an AI around milepost 1679 at about 15.52hrs. This AI is in a head to head with another AI.

Noted last November, with much chagrin.

Easier fix is delete the AI running in the same direction ahead of you

Ahh yes.... Many thanks Mr geepster. Much is my chagrin at not picking up on that post myself!

I'm new at this.
How do you delete the AI that is running in front?
Is it just a single file?

Remove the AI service entry in the Traffic and Activity files. This could be done with a Unicode capable text editor such as Notepad++.
Or I think it can be done from TSRE by editing the traffic.

You really should try running it once and see if a standoff is produced. Sometimes changes in the code can produce different unintended results, and this problem was noted many updates ago, but running it more recently did not produce a standoff. AI9 seemed positioned well ahead of where it was previously noted. Make sure your options are set exactly like they show in the route's PDF

Thanks for the reply fellows.
Had some fun and played RTC for a bit. When AI9 spawned I went into map mode and stopped it with a red light for around 20 minutes. Then I gave it green and let it go. Everything seemed to pass no problem.
I'm going to give it a try again, put the Player on Auto Pilot and just do the red light thing again and see what happens.

Must admit, Open Rails is a powerful program. Gives complete control of all the AI traffic besides the Player consist.
Between, Auto Pilot, Map Window and Manual Control your can do anything, including taking AI Trains off line into a siding.

Thanks for the input.
