consist editor

[bigjohn]

What do you use? I have a thing called TSRE, which does not work at all.

Hi John,
What do you mean "TSRE doesn't work at all"? Which version have you installed?

The TSRE folder contains ConsistEditor.bat - this is the consist editor! - double-left-click it and main screen is displayed from which you must load the required MSTS installation/Open Rails profile. If it's not listed, use the 'Browse' button to locate it - note that this must be the folder containing the GLOBAL, ROUTES, SOUND and TRAINS subfolders.

Cheers,
Ged

Thanks very much for all the help

15 hours to load is a little on the long side. Just how many folders are in your train set, and how many consists and activities do you have loaded, because every one of those needs to be read unless you've used the settings to bypass activities.

bigjohn,

15 hours is a long time for the TSRE consist editor to load. I have a boat anchor for a computer and most of the time it takes 3 or 4 seconds to load. On rare occasions it takes about 30 seconds to load after a computer restart. What determines the time for TSRE to load is the TRAINS file. How many consists you have and how many TRAINSETs you have. The number of routes is irrelevant.

How big is your trains file?

I've got around 1200 folders under Trainset, and it loads in under 60 seconds.

I stand corrected. The reason for the fast loading on my system is that almost all my routes are installed as mini routes. I have well over 100 routes installed.

The largest route on my computer is the PRR eastern V2 with a grand total of 16 GB for all files. The TRAINS file alone is 13GB. Even though there is a lot of redundancy in files, I've been doing this since the MSTS days because for some forgotten reason MSTS seemed to "run better" his way.

That is because MSTS used to load EVERY item in your selected group.

Mini routes make MSTS load only one route and limited rolling stock.

Open Rails does not have that problem.

My MSTS type routes group has 30 routes in it and with dual ssd's, it is very fast.

I wrote something yesterday, but it did not save, most likely my fault. Now I forgot what it was, and I'm sorry.I will retry the TSRE tonight before the horde of great-grandkids gets here on Friday.
