Southeastern Branch Line

Post by ka959 »

:cry:

G'day there...

Anyone had any trouble with the passenger rolling stock reccommended for the abovementioned route for MSTS ?

I downloaded the 4 items and found that the 3-car set of passenger vehicles will only show in the consist editor, as having air brakes, as evident by the blue line below the rolling stock. Whereas they have vacuum brakes, and the lines in the .wag files seem to be OK to me.

But I just can't seem to get rid of the blue lines and make them show as red. Has anyone else had this same problem with this stock as well, and perhaps is able to assist me in getting the problem solved ?

I'd be most grateful for any help here, as these items are really great and I want to see them in operation. When I try to saye the train of the O1 class steam loco and 5-6 A class passenger cars, despite the blue air brake lines showing, I'm told that the set won't be available in the lists because it's not driveable... most weird I reckon. I await any offered help.

Regards...

I had this problem when I was making 1 of my locos (the claughton, perhaps its a bug with pre-grouping locos ;)) the only way I could fix it was to paste the details of another vacuum brakeed loco into the eng file. Its not the builders fault seems to be a bug in msts.

I think its caused by having too many closing brackets before the braking entry in the wag file, so the info after is ignored, and msts defaults to air brakes if there isn't and brake information. Count the number of opening brackets, and closing brakets, and if they are the same, then there is one too many closing brakets.

Hi all - yes the SECR Passenger coaches on UKTS have a bug in the WAG file

There is a small patch for these at http://www31.brinkster.com/decapod

I seem to remember a thread in the activities forum about the missing srv1 (and others)

Talking of that, Paul, there's a banner ad which covers the first few lines on the home page so I can't read the first item - and I can never seem to find my way back to that home/news page if I leave it... can you put a compass in there for me?

I was trying to be "klever" and hide the banner ad by putting a "div" over it, but it has backfired :(

You must be using something other than IE to look at the page ;)

I'll take it out on the next update soon.

I really must add a "home" button on the left menu bar too...

Take a look here and you will see that we have come to the conclusion that this wagon is from a payware CD (Swanage I think)
