Genesis Search please?

[pcohen]

Hi everybody.

I am looking for please, A Genesis Engine (AMTRAK).

I honestly thought There was a Default Genesis, Engine but obviously not.

I am trying to put together "The Empire Builder Trainset" but possibly the Backup
Loco' for this set Is no longer available.

I have tried my searches which never seem to produce any results so any help would be gratefully accepted with many Thanks.

Regards

Paul.

Hi Paul,
If you've got a full default MSTS installation, you WILL have a folder named 'genesis' in the TRAINSET folder.
You can use fileID 57679 to make it driveable, fileID 69931 to upgrade the coaches and fileID 20236 for a driveable loco and 2 new coaches.
You may need to read the instructions regarding an appropriate cabview.
If you search under "Description" for genesis, you will find many entries (although a number are activities!)

Cheers,
Ged

Hi - the problem is the default Genesis is written as an electric engine, not a diesel. It won't show up on a none electric route.

Edit - Do a search for Genesis in the library turns up a good number of choices, note some require payware.
Looking for simple, try "NALW" & "Genesis" - not the best detailed, but basic engines. The NALW P42 set is the one you need for this activity.

I hate to be that guy, and certainly moderation is not my job, but why is this in the modelling and physics forum? You're not building a model or editing physics.

There is a new locomotive created for OpenRails. There are 3 versions in that pack the GE P32AC-DM, the GE P40DC, and the GE P42DC, which is the latest Locomotive model. The good thing is that it has a 3D cabin, not to mention that the sounds are the most identical to the Locomotives.

Hi Ged. thanks again for all your help.

I have reinstalled th St Albans Fowler 4F Tanks thank you for that.

Not sure how or when I lost the Default Genesis Engine but now replaced.

Thanks

Paul.

OK, There doesn't appear to be a Rolling stock related Section, apart from the fact Nalw 42 is not appearing in my Trainset Folder any way,
where do I post this please? It's certainly not Route Project related.

thanks

The zip contains a .exe file, when you run that you have to tell it what folder your install is in, or install to someplace you know, ( some sort of temporary location ) and then copy and paste the created folders into their proper places.

Edit - It will create two folders, Consist, and Trainset, just copy paste into the proper install folder you are using. If you are not properly specific in the location to install, they could end up in the wrong place, why I suggest installing to a temp. location.

Hi Geary, thanks again for your reply.

I have already done as you have suggested In your Post (8) but I guess I must have got something wrong somewhere!

I was hoping this "Empire Builder Trainset" was going to be the Pride of my small
American Fleet used In PRR EAST V2 Route. relpacing the "Senator Vincent" Activity"
wirh the "Empire Builder Trainset"

But I am getting the message:- <load error: Senator Vincent>

however, I think I have Downloaded too Many NALW Loco Files because the activity is
now Listed as Missing from the Trainset list in Open Rails.

Thanks

Paul.

But I am getting the message:- <load error: Senator Vincent>

From that message I suspect the activity is still looking for the original consist.

this should be the corrected Service file to run the Empire Builder in place of Senator Vincent: ( back up your copy )
Senator Vincent Player.zip

[pcohen]

Hello again oper190 thanks again.

Your Senator Vincent Player Folder only contains One SRV File and I don't know where to put It.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul,
I'm sure Geary has sorted it out for you!
Open the SERVICES folder in your PRR EAST V2 Route folder, copy the existing Senator Vincent Player.srv file to somewhere safe, just in case you want to use it again.
Unpack Geary's Senator Vincent Player.zip file to give you a new Senator Vincent Player.srv file.
Copy the new Senator Vincent Player.srv file into your SERVICES folder, overwriting the original file (it's OK because you've saved the original file, haven't you?).
Geary's new service file uses the Empire Builder (P42s) NALW consist file, so it requires the appropriate stock to be correctly installed.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged, seriously messed up again.

Done Exactly as you said "Open the SERVICES folder in your PRR EAST V2 Route folder"

done everything as Instructed but still not working, still getting message:-

<missing: Empire Builder (P42) NALW>.

Guess I'll have to start all over again.

Thanks for all your help again.

Paul.

Good Morning, Paul,
I based my instructions on what Geary posted for you. If you haven't installed the correct stock pack then it's unlikely that you have the right consist!
I don't think you have told us what stock you downloaded for your 'Empire Builder' so we can only take guesses!!

Cheers,
Ged

[pcohen]

Good morning Ged, again.

I downloaded The stock Geary said was the one I needed P42 NALW (gen_pak2).

But I guess I have done something wrong somewhere.

Will keep plodding on

thanks.

Paul.
