Loco Search please?

Hi Paul,
If you are running the 'Dorset Wanderer' activity, have you installed everything (there are ONLY 7 items!) shown on the list of required stock?
It looks as if the one you need is second on the list - file ID 19683 (Class458009_SWT).

However, one of the items on the stock list doesn't seem to be available - file ID 20318, although it could be an incorrect number!

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Paul,
UPDATE
The file ID 20318 on the stock list should read 20378 - Class456007_Southern.
I have installed the "London & Dorset Wanderer" activity and got a clear report from MSTS_ActMan.

Cheers,
Ged

Good morning Ged, thanks for the reply.

I think I only need the Following Rolling Stock to complete my Rolling Stock List:-

"exLMS_P2_Coach_Maroon" Then hopefully my Rolling Stock will be complete.

But, as usual, having difficulty finding them.

Many thanks

Paul.

Would this be the set Paul?

When you search, play around with what you are after if you don't get a hit first up. I initially tried exLMS_P2_Coach_Maroon and had no luck. Likewise with searching for P2_Coach_Maroon and Coach_Maroon. In the end I just tried searching for "maroon" and got a number of hits, including (hopefully) the one you are after.

Hi Pete, thanks for your reply.

Many thanks, I think I now have the Complete Rolling Stock for this Activity.

Thanks again.

Paul.

Hi Ged, me yet aagain.

I don.t understand this, I am still running the Activity "The London And Dorset Wanderer".

But again there Is still something not Right, still crashing to the desktop!

Your MSTS_ActMan tells me there Is nothing wrong and everything Is present.

Not sure what to do now?

Log file attached please:- OpenRailsLog.zip

Many thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul,
The log reports that "Thread 'Sound Process' has hung".
I'm not certain whether it's connected, or not, but the sounds for Class158_No.158951_FGW cannot be found.

When installing ANY stock, you MUST read the accompanying documentation!
In this case, it states that "You will need to download the Class 158 Sounds by Jonathan Powell." This is file ID 10315.

The log file also contains reports of three services with negative arrival/departure times. I have no such messages in my log so wonder if you've been attempting to change the times of those services?

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged, thanks again.

Your quote:- "The log file also contains reports of three services"

I have never In all the Years I have Had MSTS messed around with Timetables, I don't know the first thing about them or Route building, sorry.

I have downloaded Jonathan Powell's Class 158 Sounds ." file ID 10315" and will see what happens next.

many thanks

Paul.

Have you compared the dates of these activity SRV files with their dates in the ZIP file to verify they have not been edited?

[pcohen]

Good morning Charles, apologies for late reply.

I'm not sure how to do this, not very good with Files. Please see Post #13 It may possibly help.

Many thanks

Paul.

Looking at file dates has nothing to do with the different results with your Laptop and desktop you mention in post #13. The critical item that you did not specify when describing the two PCs is the type of HD they have. Are the HDs Solid State drives or rotating disk drives? And if they both are rotating disk drives then one can expect that your laptop should lag the desktop in performance as the rotating speed of laptop drives is slower than the HDs used in desktops. Processor waiting on HD to read needed data.

Determining the date of file is not hard. Open Windows File Explorer app to the folder where you saved the Activity file when you downloaded it. Change the View to Details to see the date. Then change the folder location in File Explorer to C:\1MSTS\Routes"ROUTE Name"\Services folder to find the service file's date.

Hi Charles, thanks again.

not sure what you mean, I gave my Computer & Laptop details at the end of Post #13.

Many thanks

Hello again Ged, me again.I need to ask you please anout your MSTS_ActMan. I am Still running the Activity "The London And Dorset Wanderer" but your report says:-

"Stock folder doesn't-exist-MT_SWTClass_458005 and

File: MT Class458 009 SWT x2.con

Line Number 11, 14, 18, 23, 26 ALL THE SAME.

Having Re-Installed MT_SWTClass_458005 and MT_SWTClass_458 and run the Activity again The run still crashes to the Desktop.

Although this Time when I run your MSTS_ActMan It tells me there Is nothing wrong anywhere In any of the Files.

I am not sure what I'm wrong anymore and your expertise would be gratefully appreciated?

Have sent another Log File again:- OpenRailsLog.zip

Many thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul,
There are a number of warnings concerning the route and stock, but Open Rails has crashed with the message "Thread 'Sound Process' has hung".

The only sound errors reported are because you do not have the sounds installed for the Class460_GEX. The readme specifies that this stock uses the sounds (and cabview) supplied with the DB_SC_377 which comes with the EuropeanBahn London Brighton route.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged,

The readme specifies that this stock uses the sounds (and cabview) supplied with the DB_SC_377 which comes with the EuropeanBahn London Brighton route.
I did have the EuropeanBahn London Brighton route a long, long while ago but unfortunately, I cannot find It, (probably In the attic) seem to remember it had a Greenish/Yellow covered box. Guess I'll have to knock this Activity on the head unless I can find an alternative Cab View and Sound.
Thanks
Paul.
