"Missing" Ai Trains in Activitiys.

[RobGuru]

• I am having trouble with these activities NS 214, NS 234, BNSF Ballast Extra.
• There seems to be no Al traffic in the activity.
• Is there any way to fix it?

These are downloaded activities for Pocahontas, NC Piedmont, Marias Pass 3.1.
Btw I like you Chief activities.

Hi Rob,
Are you running in Explore mode instead of selecting an activity to run?

If you're running an activity, have you downloaded and correctly installed all the stock required for that activity?

Yes, I downloaded and correctly installed all the stock required for the activities.

I've run 2 of those activities and there was definitely AI traffic. If you haven't already use the MSTS Activity Manager - msts_actman_v4-0.zip in the TrainSim file library. Run it and it will tell you if anything is missing from your consists and rolling stock. It checks both the .con and .act files.

Post you ORTS Log file. After running an activity if you think AI and/or Loose consists were not shown, check the Log file and it will report missing trainset items.

The coal train does not show up.

[RobGuru]

The 233 does not show up.

We believe you, AI traffic is missing, however...The screenshots are not helpful...not to the point.

Please post the OR log generated during an activity that is missing AI traffic, and also, as suggested in post#6 ---- run the activity through slipperman's

MSTS Activity Manager - msts_actman_v4-0.zip in the TrainSim file library

.

Could it be the Traffic and Service files?
I already ran the activities thru Activity Manager.

[slipperman]

.... AND, did MSTS_ActMan report anything missing??

If not, then I suggest that you are looking in the wrong place, or at the wrong time, for the AI trains!

Activity Manager did not report anything missing.
Could it be the Path Files?

[slipperman]

No, mate, if nothing's reported, then nothing's missing (unless the program's gone horribly wrong)!! Have you checked what time the AI trains are supposed to appear?
In the .act file, look at each 'Service_Definition' line under 'Traffic_Definition'; the number at the right end of the line is the start time for that service, in seconds. Note that is the time it begins its journey, NOT the time it will be seen by the Player!

If you use my ActivityTimesChanger (activitytimeschanger_v2_0_zip.zip), you can see the actual start time for each of the activity's AI trains.

Of course, if they are MSTS activities, it's possible that the AI trains may not run at exactly the same times when run in Open Rails, in which case my utilities won't be of much help!

Cheers,
Ged

EDIT : Sorry, Gerry, just seen your subsequent post!

You have yet to attach a log file from a run with no AI trains?

NS 234 has 5 AI trains.
