Tsection.data for Mid-East Coast please?

[pcohen]

Hi Ged and Mervyn, many thanks again for your replies.

I am now wondering If the Mid East Coast I found in my external Hard Drive Is In fact an older Version which Is why, maybe, the difference between MECoast and MidEastcoast is occurring. Just a thought.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi again Mervyn, thanks, but is the number correct please:-

File I.D 89797 No files found for your selected criteria.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul,
No, mate, as far as I can remember, the top folder has always been MECoast. as Mervyn pointed out, MidEastCoast is the name of the route folder. It is NOT what you point Open Rails to.

Cheers,
Ged

EDIT : Mervyn gave that file ID (Yes, it is the correct number!) as a starting point for creating a mini-route. If you cannot find it, then you are not entering it correctly in the search system. PLEASE DO NOT use it for MidEast Coast as it is its own mini-route.

Paul, here's the link to that file: https://www.trainsim.com/forums/file...leid?fid=89797

However, when entering the number did you select the option, Exact File Number?

Paul I would have offered help but since I do not have that route I'd have been throwing darts as it were for answers.

Do not feel those of us that will offer help would ever:

Thinking of leaving the Forums alone for a While, because all I seem to be Doing Is wasting peoples time. And I don't want to wind up upsetting them.

We are here to help you or anyone.

I have been advised to use the following programme "default-content-installer"

But cannot decide whether this Is a replacement or Is It an Upgrade/update for
"Open Rails" please advise.

many thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,
That is for use when you want to set up a mini-route for running with Open Rails (or, even, MSTS!).
It is not necessary for the MidEast Coast route because that already has all the required folders and files.

Hi Paul,
You did say how long you'd been running before the crash.
I have just run the activity from Doncaster to Retford (about 20 minutes) using autopilot without any problem.

You seem to regularly have crashes which indicate "Thread 'Sound Process' has hung" but you need somebody with more knowledge of OR than I do, to explain exactly what causes this problem. I don't think it can be the sound system because you are using the same NVIDIA card as I am. Also, your PC has more memory than mine!

Sorry I can't offer any help!

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Paul
Having looked at your latest log I am a trifle confused.
Confused because your player engine for " WAL How we were " seems to be OR-DREWRY-11100, whereas mine is 60022 A4 Gresley, MALLARD.

There is nothing in the log that I can see which would cause a sound process problem.

Hi Mervyn, thanks for your reply.

I am using One of my own Loco's for the Activity " WAL How we were " BR70013 "Oliver Cromwell".

But don't think this Is the Cause of the Problem, I have used several times before. The Activity still crashes after a while With It's own Loco in use.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul,
I'm a little concerned that 4 of the loose consists cannot be placed.
One reason for that could be that you're running the WAL - How We Were activity which was written for MidEastPlus.
To check that you're running the correct version, open the WAL - How We Were.act file (in the ACTIVITIES folder) with NotePad or similar text editor.
On about the 8th line down, you should see : Description ( "WAL - Leeds to Kings Cross - Converted from Mid East Plus activity.\n\n"+
If yours DOESN'T say the "Converted from ...." bit, then you're running the wrong version.

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you from where I downloaded the MEC version as it doesn't have a file ID, but the .apk file is dated 20 Feb 2023.
However, if you don't have it, I can send it to you.

Cheers,
Ged

EDIT : I have found it!! It's on Bob Latimer's page of the TSSH download library

Good morning Ged.

In the MidEastCoast Activities Folder their are Three entries

WAL - How We Were - Driving Supplement.

WAL - How We Were for Mid-East Coast - Readme.

WAL - How We Were.

But "How we were" Does say "Converted from Mid East Plus activity.\n\n"+.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Everybody.

Well, I have put MidEastCoast back as It was, with It's original Consist Loco and Rolling Stock The way we were "70022 MALARD".

But It only ran for an Hour, then crashed to the Desktop again.

Cannot for the life of me work out what Is wrong with this Activity.

Yet again I have attached a Log File.
Thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul

Crashed after an hour. Did the crash produce a log? The log you have posted has this at the end, Save after 378 secs at 10:06:18 but no crash details. Unable to see why the crash occurred.

I also have the four unplaced loose consists so that is a problem within the activity.
