Hello,I need help here.I d/l the route file and when I try to open it up using Winzip,it says ''archive is greater than 4 gigabytes''.
Is there another way to open up the file.Thanks in advance.

Hi Claudie,

The route and the two fixes were zipped with 7Zip. You'll probably need to use it to extract these.

Be careful with 7Zip. It has been around for a long time and I have used it, but I have concerns about it. The creator is not known to my virus program (ESET) and I had to refuse a lot of protective comments in order to download it. I have used it in the past, but now I do not intend to use it on any of my routes. I think it is better to use WinZip and if necessary use more than one archive file to upload to Eric's site. I had no problem opening the large archihve mentioned with Win64zip which I did pay a small fee to obtaiin. It is not the pro version and I have had it on my machine for over a year.

I've used WinRAR for years and it always works with everything....no trouble with it at all.

[landnrailroader]

WinRAR is a good one too.

I have a Windows 11 Home, 64bit system, and had no problem unzipping the files for this Route using the "Extract All..." option from the menu when alternate clicking on the zip files.

I will remove the static strings/cars. that are in the way. Probably the easiest way is to post a screen shot of what needs to be removed.

Here is one string that makes a mess of an activity where the creator placed AI stock for pick-up. This is Thacker Siding 2

Hi oper190,

These cars are not strings nor AI placed for pickup. Just part of the scenery. Just simply open TSRE and delete each one individually and should eliminate the problem.

I warned ya, Kenny, back on that KD sub effort that you did. The "activity people" really don't need rolling stock as scenery that the older-computer, no-activity "explore mode" people evidently need. Last thing any library upload needs is half the user population going about editing world files or firing up the RE just to remove them so activities can run in a visually acceptable manner.

Better solution is people actually learning the AE to make activities and place loose consists. That adds positively to the overall expansion of user capabilities.

Hi to all,

Just to confirm the Activity Generator (AG) Template project for the updated route is now complete. Activities includes runs along the mainline and inside the numerous branches.

Here are shots from some activities generated by Activity Generator.

Will write in the Skyline Computing Forum later with how to pick up the template package. Again Kenny, beautiful job on the entire route, Congratulations

Enjoy the shots
