Loose Consist Cars Not Showing up in Activities.

[dkingsburg]

On the Lehigh Valley Route many Loose Consists are not Showing Up in the Activities. Some do But the Majority Do Not! These are Activity Consists that are loaded when the Activity is Loaded. They Show up in the Activity Consists File. But Not in the Activity Itself.
The AI Consists Load and Run Correctly but Many of the Activity Consists Do Not.

Post an OR log for us to look at.

It Appears that Only Loose Consists Close to the Starting Point are the Only Ones that Show Up.

Do you have ALL of the necessary cars installed? The OR log would list the ones that are missing.

The 7 Part LV Route is the Only Route that Has Had this Problem.

You need to install all of these. They're available in the file library here.

I've had similar occurrences where I place loose consists on track using TSRE, I can see them any time I view the activity paths in TSRE, but they don't show up in OR/MG. Never could figure out why. I will eventually get frustrated and just recreate the activity.

[derekmorton]

Have a look in the log yourself, it notes all of the missing cars.

[dkingsburg]

The Thing is that Even the Consists with All the Correct Cars in them ARE NOT Showing Up in the Activity. I Have Downloaded and Installed Most of the Files Required. All My Other Routes; USA2 Sandpatch, SAL, Florida Funnel, KHP, Shuswap, LHR 1940, LHR4, Bridge Line, Conn River Show All the Loose Consists in the Various Activities. Only the LV Route is Giving me this Problem. On all my Other Routes if a File is Missing I Just Substitute and it Works Fine and Shows Up in the Activity.

Regarding the above, in my experience loose consists not showing up in OR can mean they are placed incorrectly on the track -- i.e. loose consist too long for a particular siding, etc. --- or operator error in saving the loose consist in TSRE, which has some peculiarities in this regard, unfortunate, but there it is.

Apart from the above...loose consists will not show up or only show up partially if cars are missing....the log has numerous warnings of missing cars.

ORTS does appear to be less forgiving about what fits when it comes to loose consists.. MSTS would show as many cars as it could, but ORTS seems to be an all or nothing situation, so the placement and the length have to be very carefully worked out.

Post a log file instead of complaining, it can be fixed.

[dcarleton]

He says he has "most" of the necessary cars installed. That won't cut it. When OR loads loose consists, if it gets to a loose consist where none of the cars has been installed, it stops trying to load loose consists. So you'll see the first few consists, and then none.

Install ALL of the required cars, then try again. If something doesn't work, post the OR log file here.

[dkingsburg]

This problem is only on the V2 Lehigh Valley Route. No Other Routes are Giving me this Problem. If Cars are Missing and I Substitute Other Cars the Consists Still Show Up. On the LV Route Even when the Consist Has all the Correct Cars with No Changes they Aren't Showing Up. As Soon as I Install an Activity I Start OR and Use the 8 Key to See if the Loose Consists are Where they Should Be and they Are! But not on the LV, Also only the Consists Nearest the Activity Starting Point are Showing up!

Hi Dave,
Why don't you post the OR Log file, as Derek requested earlier today?
If an activity has some loose consists which aren't showing up, there MUST be a reason! The log should be a big help.

Cheers,
