SoCal Route

AFAIK runs perfectly in OR. And no I did NOT edit sigcfg.dat. Also, I'm trying to get the map to load in the AE.

Probably too big for any of the MSTS stuff to handle.

[ChandlerBranchRailfan]

Then how do I create activities for it?

I mean if not the AE then what?

[ChandlerBranchRailfan]

Has anyone else tried opening it in the MSTS Activity Editor? If so what were your results.

[R. Steele]

Then how do I create activities for it?

Create paths using Open Rails Trackviewer ( it has a manual, works fine for making paths, reverse points, waiting points, etc all in the trackviewer. )

Many of us use an editor like ConText, NotePad++, or other editors to create all the services and traffic files. You can use any activity file as a template.

TSRE has an activity editor and the TSRE Consist Editor will handle consist making, and loose ( or activity ) consists.

There are tools, but you also have to invest the time in learning them and creating a workflow to make activities.

I seriously doubt that the MSTS AE will open the route....or if it does, that it will function without some sort of disaster.

How to place loose consists in TSRE AE?

[frliss]

Sorry, my mistake. This is an OR thread and I overlooked that you mentioned MSTS AE.

What I mean is in TSRE how does one place loose consists.

IK how to in MSTS AE but not TSRE.

[R. Steele]

How to place loose consists in TSRE AE?

Cannot attach copy of Pete Willards manual of GOKU's TSRE because it is too large. The manual contains a section on using the Activity Editor and Consist Editor.
This manual can be found on GitHub. [see link bottom of post]

You can make the loose consists in the consist editor of TSRE ( run with a batch file ) and give them names you will recognize in the activity editor.

So in other words, the new TSRE Scenario Editor works just like the Surveyor Session Editor in Trainz.

[R. Steele]

Don't ask me, ---- never used TRAINZ

There are two TSRE sub-forums under the Open Rails main forum --- TSRE Route Editor and TSRE Consist Editor.

So in other words, the new TSRE Scenario Editor works just like the Surveyor Session Editor in Trainz.

No. The TSRE Activity editor is an unfinished product but even so is vastly better than the old MSTS RE. It has to be used as a tripartite set with the Consist editor and the path editor.

[ChandlerBranchRailfan]

So long story short, my attempts to make the MSTS AE load the tdb were futile because well... This kind of a route is beyond MSTS ability. In that case, I apologize for bumping this thread.

[ChandlerBranchRailfan]

I'd like to ask a question on the same topic.

Will Surfliner V2.3 Activities work when ported over to this route or will paths be broken?
What about Cajon Pass 4.2?
