Starting fresh

[crstagg]

Glad you figured it out!

It does work with loose consists--you replace the same way as with player/AI traffic, for Broken/missing stock as well as routine replacement. You just can't replace in all consists, when working with Activity/static/loose consists.

Tried a single and it did not work. Tried again now and it did. Go figure.

The install I have been using is my WP3 install which only has just the WP3 route. And I had to hunt for a Loose Consist that had the same item in it multiple times as most of the WP3 consists do not use the same item more than once. Found one with the same hopper wag in the consist 5 times. Selected the second occurrence of that WAG, the selected the replacement and then Menu "Replace" and then clicked "All units in selected Consist" and all 5 of the Hopper WAG's were replaced. So the label "All units in selected Consist" really means "All occurrences of the selected unit in the Consist" and NOT "All units in selected Consist"

Maybe Eric can edit the Replace pulldown choices.

I have found a utility called TextCrawler free that can update all of these things at once.

I've tried TextCrawler and do believe it has great potential. But I couldn't get the hang of using it effeciently/confidently. I made several mistakes that were extremely hard to find and undo.

Start small and work your way up.

Hello, everyone!

It's been quite a while since I last played ORTS. Even though I haven’t touched the game in a long time, I’ve still been following updates on the TrainSim page and forums.

I have to say—I really miss playing ORTS. That’s why I’ve decided to come back to it, but this time I want to start fresh. Over the past fifteen years or so, I’ve collected a huge number of locomotives and cars released over the last two decades.

Needless to say, the quality of these assets varies quite a bit. So, as I mentioned, I want to begin again and build a small collection of the highest-quality locomotives and rolling stock available for ORTS.

I have to give special mention to the work of Mr. Welch—his locomotives seem to be absolutely stunning!

My plan is to install just a few of my favorite routes and then replace all the rolling stock and locomotives with higher-quality ones.

So, here’s my question: What’s the best tool for managing and replacing rolling stock in routes (AI trains, cars/locomotives parked in sidings etc)?

I know Route Riter can do this, but I’ve always found it a bit complicated to use.

Is there a simpler alternative out there that can do the job more easily?

Welcome back!
