Adding more than one AI train.

[JSMR]

It's doing my head in lol. I can get an ai train into my activities. Easy part. One. But I can't get two. No matter the options I try in TSRE5, it never shows. No issues in the log.
I'm confused as to whether I add both to the one traffic file? In Services its listed but there's no tick in the This box and its blank in the Used by box. Únlike my other ai service, which does have the This box ticked and is linked to the activity I want it in. No matter what I try and different options only one or the other works.
Edit : The ai are separated by 15mins and dont conflict either way on track. Different paths.

I'm sure its simple. 🤯🤯🤯

You need to add the traffic in the traffic file of the activity.

Ah.....what does that mean exactly. Or how to do that?
I've made 2 paths and 2 ai trains. I can either get A or B ai train to show up but not both.

I really dont know how to add it. What do I add it too? I have a traffic file with both services/paths/consists assigned but only one shows up.
Only one or the other is assigned to the activity. I cant get both to assign to the activity.

kapitaen + JSMR,

TSRE can add or delete traffic in an activity; TSRE can add or delete services in a traffic definition; TSRE can make any change that you wish, but the program is "quirky" and does not always save your changes.

Points to note:
1) Traffic definitions are saved in a separate file (.trf)).
2) A copy of this information is imbedded in the activity file (.act).
3) Open Rails uses the imbedded information, and ignores the separate traffic file.

In order to use TSRE effectively:
a) You must remove the traffic definition from the activity file, then add it again, in order to update the imbedded information.
b) NOTE: the .act file will not be saved, unless you make some other change to the activity.
c) Pay attention to the confirmation window when you save the activity -- both files (.act+.trf) should be listed.

JSMR,
As you suspected, there is one traffic file, and it may have multiple services. You may even have the same service multiple times (for example, the same passenger train, following the same path, at different times}.

Thanks everyone. Success!! I think the issue was the 2nd service I wanted to run didn't want to save. I realise TSRE is a little touchy.
Looking the other threads on the issue helped. Such as :

it's an issue with the Activity editor in TSRE...there is a work around....After you have added the 5 additional trains to the traffic file...hit save...That will save the traffic file....then with the activity open in tsre....change the traffic file selected to none....then edit the activity...add one second to the start time, then hit save...you should see a confirmation of the save...now...select the modified traffic file on the activity editor....edit the activity again by taking the second off start time...then hit save....the new traffic file should now be part of the activity file.....

Gets a little confusing going back and forwards but I got there in the end. Appreciate the help once again. Slowly slowly. Pco un poco.
So have a goods train pass through then another that comes 15 mins later from the other direction and stops where I want it for 15 mins then departs at full noise up Warrenheip bank. Love it!
