rs_fawley oil part 2 - Dorser Coast

Whatever I do, the activity crashes with the "send, don't send" message, before I am even properly underway. This is even with settings set very low. Any suggestions?

Hi David

Are you using Trainstore and the bin patch - I find Trainstore at least is essential for Dorset Coast, and the bin patch improves frame rates even at higher settings.

It also helps if you test your stock with the full version of Conbuilder, especially for sound errors. I don't use any new stock now until I've corrected any of the errors detected, and that has pretty well eliminated Tell Bill messages for me.

Please have a look at my railway photograph site - http://alan-lewis-chambers.fotopic.net/ - lots of British steam and early diesels

Hi David

You could chop out some of the static consists in Bevois Yard and see if that will help. I've had problems with that yard before but not since installing the bin patch though that's not to say that the area still isn't borderline.

The only funny I did have during testing was to find that you need to close the regulator as you go past the very first signal. Going past under power for some reason triggers a SPAD.

Hope that helps

Richard

Yes to both.

All are optimised!

Richard, I will try what you suggest.

Apart from a few temperamental wagons Route riter activity analysis is giving me a missing Locomotive #Standard_Class_5_73031.eng which i think is on the Nene valley disc but isn't mentioned in the read me. Curiously i can't find this loco in any of the consists!

The loco to which you refer is used as a static consist at Eastleigh. When I eventually discovered where it was I used Route-Riter to replace it with a Standard 4 4-6-0 and all was well. Mark

Hi, sorry, thought I'd caught all the funnies. It can be replaced like for like by the other AI standard 5 in the activity but I will upload a fresh copy of the activity tomorrow, anyway.

Cheers
