Class 33 Pair

I downloaded a file named "UKTS_10339_IJ_33050_&_33051.zip" a few days ago, and installed them to my MSTS folder.

Just last night, I attempted to open the Activity Editor and make a consist using another Class 33 loco (an EWS one) and when I selected the Diesel locos from the list of various loco types, the list area went blank, and shortly, the "Send / Don't Send" Microsoft Windows XP message came up, and I was unable to proceed further.

What happened next, was a long trial-and-error session, which involved removing all the most recently-installed locos and trainsets, and then replacing them one-by-one, and restarting the Activity Editor until the Diesel section allowed me to view the listings again.

The culprit seems to be the 33050/33051 loco set, and a search of the .eng files doesn't locate anything that looks amiss, apart from the need to replace the cabview alias with a folder containing files separate from the Common.Cab folder's files, as I don't have that cabview on my system, and Conbuilder can't seem to locate a problem with that particular set of loco files.

Does anyone else with a goodly knowledge of .eng files, think they could locate the problem and tell me what's the matter with this .eng file - or otherwise ? I'd be grateful for any assistance here, thanks. Cheers.

think this might help i had it saved as a copy and paste sometime ago-it solved the problem for me hope it helps.

just to tell you that in your Class 33050/051 aka FileID 10339 pack you need to download off UKTS, there is an error in the AI-IJ_33050_cons.eng file. The 'Wagon ( AI_33041 )' Line needs to be changed to 'Wagon ( AI_IJ_33050_cons )' . If this line isn't fixed, it causes the Diesel section of the Consist Editor to give a Send/Dont Send message when you attempt to access it.

That, my man, is exactly what was the case, and it seems like your fix above remedied the problem perfectly. I did check out the .eng file a few times, but it appears I overlooked this bit totally. The loco now allows the Diesel section of AE to work as it should, and once more I'm happy. Thanks for the help there. I'll know to checkout this line if anything similar ever happens again !

And, you might like to contact the Webmaster for this site, and report the filename and the part that needs correcting, so that others don't have to go through this hassle. Worth a thought. If you prefer, I can do that, but it's your call here. Cheers.
