Shasta Route EURVQ act derail problem

[niknak]

Anyone else getting frequent popup warnings that car 0-10 is derailing on a curve? Getting lots of messages around an hour or two into this act but always for this one car which I believe is Boxcar (LD) 241701

That is curious, I don't believe that ever happened during our testing. What OR version are you using? Do you happen to know where specifically this occurred? Was this after adding the helper, or before?

I'm using OR 1.5.1 and I haven't experienced this problem, and I'm about 3 hours into the activity.

I've had this problem prior to upgrading to 1.5.1 a lot however.. with every car it seemed.

Hi Sean and thanks for the quick response. At present I'm around mp372 so that's well after I picked up the helper ( nice bit of automation there btw ) and its been happening for around an hour at least. I'm using the latest MG version 143.2. Assuming it is boxcar 241701 I noticed in the wag file that the 1st coupling velocity figure had a minus sign in front of it, but all other wag files I compared it with only had the minus sign in the 2nd coupling entry. Not sure if that has any bearing on things though.

Nick,

We can only provide support for the stable version 1.5.1. Experimental versions, Monogame versions, etc. are changing all the time, and have been known to have inconsistencies in the way train forces (and a million other things) are handled.

I understand Sean. It's a great route and the popups aren't detracting from my enjoyment of it. I'll be buying any future upgrades too!

Glad to here you're enjoying the activities! If only TSRE or some equivalent editor could have built-in functionality to handle all of the latest activity features - including AI train timing being modified by player-triggered location events. Gets a bit tedious having to do some of that stuff manually in the ACT files

I'm running the act again, this time with the minus sign removed from the 1st coupling velocity entry in the wag file for boxcar 241701 (see post #4) and there are NO derail popup warnings this time. So I'm thinking that was the problem before, at least for anyone running the MG version of OR.
btw Sean is there a prize for spotting the old tankcar marooned on a short piece of track in the middle of nowhere?
