Open Rails Train Menu please

[pcohen]

Hi everybody, in trouble again.


Now for some reason when starting Open Rails, the Locomotive selection menu only opens as far as T ?

I have a lot of Rolling Stock that goes beyond T.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Paul.


P.S. Should have mentioned that I have Uninstalled, Deleted and Re-installed A Fresh copy of Open Rails TWJCE but with same result.

A locomotive must be used in a consist for it to show up in the menu.

From the manual:

To select the consist you have two possibilities: either you click under Consist:, and the whole list of available consists will appear, or you first click under Locomotive:, where you can select the desired locomotive, and then click under Consist:, where only the consists led by that locomotive will appear.

...if I'm understanding your question.

How many Locomotives do you have in your Trainset?

Hi charles, thanks for reply.

A whopping 1055, however, a large percentage of these are the Rolling Stock That come with different Routes.

I am using MSTS With it's Default Rollin Stock + 10 Additional Routes (one at a time obviously)

In Open Rails under the MSTS Locomotive List it opens from A-Y.

In Open Rails under the PRR East V.2 Locomotive List it opens from A-TAE7A ?

So I cannot access the following:- WAB F7A, USA145, usassco and VT_HST_125.

Hope this helps?

Many thanks

Paul.

From your post I assume that you have 2 Installs. One named MSTS and the other PRR East. And when you select the PRR East install not all of your locos are listed.

Do you realize that the Locomotive list in the ORTS menu is NOT a list of ALL locomotives in an install's Trainset? It is only a list of Drivable locos for you to choose which one you wish to drive. By drivable a loco must have a cab and be the lead locomotive in a consist.

So, do WAB F7A, USA145, usassco and VT_HST_125 have cabs? And are they the lead locomotive in a consist?

BTW I asked "How many Locomotives do you have in your Trainset?" Not how many rolling stock.
Open any version of ConBuilder, make sure the view filter for the Locomotives list is set to "All Engines" and look in right corner by the Locomotive icon for the number of locomotives. (Convoi and the RR-CE probably display this as well. TSRE-CE does not have an All Engines filter but you can add Diesel, Electric and Steam.)

Hi Charles , thanks for reply.

My Conbuilder V2.4.9 must be different to yours.

My Locomotive View is Bottom Left and shows 1620 Locomotives and 3747 Wagons.

Is this what you meant please?

Paul.

Yes. Screen right as in stage right,

But back to your OP do the ENG file for WAB F7A, USA145, usassco and VT_HST_125 have Cabs? Are they lead loco of a consist?

[pcohen]

H Charles, thank you.

Yes, Loco is the Lead Loco and does have Cab & Sound Files and a ready made Consist but I don't know if it works, as I have not been able to Load it Yet.

Seem to remember it listed as a Presidential Train.

Thanks

Paul.

Post ENG file and consist of Loco that does not display on OR menu list.

Also, note that you can actually store all your individual routes and their related engines and rolling stock in their own specific folders and you just change to the specific content location you want when Open Rails starts up. That way you can keep stuff that's related to each other in their own place versus trying to manage everything in a single folder structure. (A thing MSTS forced us to do that we don't need to do anymore)

[pcohen]

Hi Charles.

Not sure what's going on, have sent you the Engine File Three times but it doesn't appear to arrive.

If it's the Cab & Sound you wanted to check? they are both GP38.

Thanks

Paul.

[derekmorton]

Charles asked you to post the files here.
Charles likely have a spam filter on his email, like me.

[pcohen]

Hi Derek, thanks for reply.

I have tried Three times to Post this Engine File to the Forum open on this subject with no success. No Email involved.

I guess the file is to large, but probably wrong.

Thanks

Paul

[derekmorton]

Zip it up.

[pcohen]

Hi Derek and everybody else, think I have found the problem.

DIesel Enine Is:- usaf45 - Passenger coach is:- usassco
Consist is:- usaF45.

I used these To create a Consist in ConBuilder which produced this:- usaF45 DOUBLEHEADER with 10 passenger coaches.

However, and I think this is where the problem is, when opening the Consist File it contains, wait for it- The Engine File.

No way is this my fault, I wouldn't know how to put an Engine File into a Consist File.

I have tried to find this (usaf45) again but with no success.

Many thanks.

Paul.
