More Than 1 Car at a Time.

[dkingsburg]

Is there a Way to Change more than 1 car at a Time in The Editor?

What is it that you want to change?

[dkingsburg]

When I Make Changes to a Consist and I want to Place the Same Car in Various Locations in the Consist.

Is this to replace a particular car with a new one?

You will need to have the "Consist Units" list open. To view/open the Consist Units click menu VIEW > place check mark by "Consist Units".
Once Consist Units is open, select the one of item you want to replace.
Next click menu "Replace" and select "All Units in selected Consist" (Carefuil you DO NOT select "All units in all consists.)
Now in one of the "Eng Lists" locate the item you want to replace it with and double click that item.
Done.
Save the Consist.

If you happen to have double clicked on the wrong item close TSRE-CE without saving the consist then reopen TSRE-CE and start over.

BTW this is the same process for replacing a single item except after clicking menu Replace you choose "Only selected unit".
Selecting a unit in the Consist Units list and then double clicking on an item in an Eng List results in that item being added to the end of the consist.

It would be an easy change in Notepad++

Yep, search : replace

Yes but in Multiple Locations in the Consist. For Instance I want to Place the Same car at Location 5, 15, 30 Ect. in the Consist.

That will do it if those are ALL the places that car appears.
But if the car is 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 15 and you want to replace the ones at 3, 9, & 15 NO.

Charles,
Your Method is a Little More Complicated but It Gets the Same Result I Get.
What I'm Talking About is; For Instance I Have a 50 car Consist and I want to Place the same Car in 4 Different Locations in that Consist.
Can I Replace those 4 cars at the Same Time or can I Only Change 1 Car at a Time?

Your OP says "change" not place. Two different things.

One at a time as you can only select one item at a time in the consist units list.

OK got it. Conbuilder was the Same Way. I Figured TSRE was So Advanced that It Could be Done.
Still it is a Big Improvement over Conbuilder. Better, Larger more Detailed Images Ect.

Yeah. How do you like the eng & wag file testing features?

If there are more than 4 of that car and you only want to replace 4 of them you will have to do them one at a time. If there are only those 4 present then the method shown in post #5 is what you need to do.

Oh Well, Something to Keep Me Busy. In Run8 Whoever Creates the Consists Makes them Realistic with A Good Mix of All Types of Cars.
MSTS Consists are 5 Tankers, 5 Gondola's, 5 Boxcars and so on. Not Very Realistic or Prototypical. So My project is Trying to Make the Consists More Realistic.
Being Able to Change out 4 Cars at a Time in a Consist would Make my Job a Lot easier.
Still TSRE Is a Big Improvement Over Conbuilder. No License, Larger more Accurate Images.
