Downloaded Cars Not Showing Up in TSRE.

[dkingsburg]

I'm Working on the Consists for the SAL Florida Line. I Downloaded the Required Files. When I Open a Consist The Downloaded Cars DO NOT SHOW UP in the Consist when it is Displayed. There Will be a Line of cars F1 to F6 then it jumps to F10. The Numbers for the missing Cars are Between the Cars that Are There.
Help!

Dave the missing cars should show as broken in the consist...do they? Does any information show up in the bottom right hand portion of the screen.
Locate the missing cars folder in your trainset folder and make sure all names are correct and everything is in its proper place.
Also, check the TSRE log for loading errors.

Gerry,
My Version of TSRE Is Different. I May Have Cars F1 through F6 and then it Skips to F12 and So On. Between Cars F6 and F12 there will be a Group of Numbers for the Missing Cars.
I Figured Out the Problem. The Activity Called for csxbox1.zip. When I Downloaded the File I Had to Create a Folder for the Cars. I Renamed the Folder CSX Box1. Installed it and the Cars We're in TSRE but they Wouldn't Show Up in the Consists. I Deleted the File and Downloaded the csxbox1 File. This Time I Named the File csxbox1 and Reinstalled it. Now the Cars Showed up in their Respective Consists. I'm Learning!!!

Dave,
the convention for rolling stock Zipped w/o a folder organization is to use the ZIP filename as the folder name when installing to the TrainSet.

Dave and others,
Here is a little trick with TSRE-CE to see if you have "[BROKEN]" Consists. i.e. Consists with missing or misnamed rolling stock.

1. Turn on Consist Units list (View > Consist Units>
2. On left sid below Show > Consists is Filter > All. Click on the pulldown and select Broken
3. That will display a list of consists that have missing or misnamed rolling stock.
4. Click on each one to see what rolling stock is missing by finding the ones with [BROKEN] before the name.

Of course if no consist is listed then all is good!

It would be great to have this same feature to find Broken items in the "Activity Consists" view. Or maybe there is and I haven't figured it out?

Thanks

Well, sort of -- the user has to go through each loose consist looking for broken items. Then choosing the broken item will show the file and folder name.

That's why I always use Ged Saunder's ( slipperman ) fine utility MSTS_ActMan to check activities looking for broken items, then TSRE_CE is used to fix them. --- or in the alternative using any good search and replace program ( or the search and replace function found in utilities like Context, etc. ) to do a wholesale replacement -- very quick and easy.
