Recently uploaded and Pack containing 5 activities for ECE Part 1 none of the Act paths are overlaping onto ECE part 2 and should work ok.

Any Problem's post here or PM me.

im glad they will work without ECE2 my copies just come through the post.

Not impressed although Grantham Doncaster and York are near enough spot on station wise. And the fact that its a british route aims well in my book at the moment. Gone off foreign stuff.

shame they couldnt manage to do north and south decoy yards right eh? North of doncaster is pretty shabby too...Although overall its very good.

Shame activity editor wont load to route

It's a known problem that the act editor doesnt always like 32bit colour when running Windows XP.

Besides, if the only route that didn't work with AE was ECE, how was anyone else able to create activities for it?

hehe this is true...
Although it;s ECE Part 2, its not the whole thing, maybe EB has locked the router somhow so you are forced to buy the whole thing if ya gonna create activities for it :s

You're not confusing activity editor with route editor, are you?

EB routes are usually 'locked' when it comes to route editing. You can email EB support and ask for the file to 'unlock' it, and they'll send it you. But as far as I know, an edited version of the route won't be supported, so if anything went wrong with the edited route, you'd have to put it back to the original 'out of the box' state before you'd get any help.

is the route unstored

montylowe2 · Post by **montylowe2** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 7:42 pm

unstored, as in trainstore?
Well yeah, I guess so becuase its in my route list in MSTS
I'm new to trainstore btw
thanks for the help though

salopiangrowler · Post by **salopiangrowler** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 7:49 pm

when using trainstore:

use classic trainstore

find the route in the left window as per usual, right click and click unstore this route only

on the right should be simulation and maintainanced tabs click the maintainance tab and only check the launch editor box.

all the trains and activities already on the route will be there.
