    London & Port Stanley

    I need to find the rolling stock directories so i can edit some brake parameters(nothing has brakes)but TSRE consist editor refuses to open this routes rolling stock, it just hangs and the cpu fan spools up really high. Anyone else not able to use TSRE consist editor on this routes rollig stock?

    Why would rolling stock be in a different location than normal?

      Maybe because the installation instructions haven't been followed, implicitly!!

        Did you install as a mini route?

        The brakes work fine, your install is faulty.

            They are not, i simply can't figure out wich folder contains the loco i want to edit, hence why i want to open it in consist editor. To find it.

              Yes, it is installed as a mini route in it's own directory(All my routes are mini routes in their own directories). Consist editor just hangs when i try to open it. Try the "T32 London to Port Stanley" activity in ORNYMG 1.6.1, even at 100% brakes Nothing happens, at all...no brakes. Reason why i want to open it in consist editor is to figure out where to find the eng file that i need to edit to get brakes as the consist editor tells you wich folder it is in.

                Wasn't there a previously reported issue where nobody could ride the funicular because when using OR it just dropped like a rock and crashed at the bottom?

                That said, LPS was highly customized to work around the nuances of MSTS. Anyone is free to attempt to OR-ize it, but good luck and send us a postcard.

                  I think someone already did "OR'ize" it, i found it in the "open Rails Routes" download section.

                    Consist files are (should be) unicode. But way back in ancient times some were created in other formats. That could be causing TSRE-CE to choke.
                    Carlos added a test of for file format in ConBuilder and a tool to fix i.e. to resave in TXT format. Any pre-payware version of ConBuilder should be able to find and fix this.

                        IF you've installed the LPS correctly there should be no mystery to finding the eng files, consist files, etc. Just loaded T32 act in several versions of OR and all versions opened it.

                          Thank you, you solved the mystery. Now i know the folder i need is "LpsNo1".

                            Found it: " Comment ( MaxBrakeForce set to 0.6kN/t )
                            MaxBrakeForce ( 0.282kN )"
                            Now i can change this and enjoy this wonderful route in OR.

                            On a sidenote; I can sense some people get frustrated by my seemingly "stupid" questions. I beg you to please consider that not all of us have decades of experience in this software,and i can certainly admit that i sometimes overlook the obvious. I might have done a few activites here and there but never dove too deep into it. So even though my questions might be stupid and frustrating to you, i assure you they are sincere, and i am thankful for any and all help i can get.

                              Quite the contrary, we've all asked these questions at one time or 'nuther! I think people do expect newer members to try to understand the folder structure that OR uses...MSTS legacy.

                              The front panel of OR shows the consist used in the activity you were having trouble with. Going to the TRAINS/Consist subfolder you would have found the "T32" consist file....opening it in a text editor would have revealed the engine files in use....name of engine file and trainset folder.

                              That's why it is important to provide complete information when encountering problems --- which you did. This is a classic route --- the people involved in creating the route are a "whos-who" of the community....starting with Wayne Campbell.
