Strange Activity Crash

[J94Fan]

Hello

I'm using a powered crane by Mark Toland (250 Ton Crane, available here: http://www.railserve.com/Computers/MSTS ... h_America/). It can be driven in Explore Route mode, but whenever I use it in an activity (as a locomotive) it crashes MSTS. I've been using MSTS for over seven years and I've never known a "loco" to be driveable in "Explore Route" only!!!!! The crane can be used in activities, as part of loose consists ..... any suggestions?

Thanks!

HI J94Fan

The download has many errors, some not too serious others definitely will crash the game.
The less serious are mainly syntax, the more serious include numeric values without units.
In the end I rebuilt the CraneP.eng file using the original GP38 referenced to the crane model parameters to enable it to be used as Player within an activity.
The errors are too numerous to advised for correction within a post.
If you PM me with your email address I will only be too pleased to forward the modified file.
The reason we were able to use it in Explore Mode is because all the engine parameters are not reference or used (calculated) in the game when in this mode of operation.

Kindest regards
Ray
