Daniel Bouchard's Activity Development Thread

[Dexter249]

So recently, I purchased the CN Ruel Subdivision from Trainsimulations with the plan to play the activities included first, except one minor nitpick with the route.

All other routes offered by TS (that include passenger service) have a set and activity bundled with the Route, except for the Ruel Sub, despite the Canadian making trips twice weekly (I believe it was a higher frequency in 1995 when the route is set).

Thus, I have taken it upon myself to develop a series of activities (8 in total) covering two eras of operation, 2000 (as I have been unable to find accurate consists prior to the 2003 Winter season), and the current year, using BLW's Freeware VIA Set and the TS (Ex-SLI) VIA locomotives, with the lovely repaints by Christer Tepper available on the file library here.

I will use this thread to go through my progress and learning of TSRE5 to make these activities, as I've already done the two paths.

Hi Daniel,

A route that is a little short on activities.
I will be running them as soon as I see them.

The Activities have been made, and I'll be testing them, no consists are placed on the route to avoid any problems and to make the activities work, the yards may be a bit barren but my computer is starting to get a bit long in the tooth, so putting them in TSRE was a bit of a chore.

I'll probably release them if all 4 work, it's just the 2000 Scenarios right now, since making full traffic files for a modern day version of the route is a bit out of my purview right now, but that may be done in the future.
