F9 Problem

Post by IarnrodEireann082 »

Hi all,

I have a small problem, hopefully someone can sort it out or put me in the right direction!!

In some activities, not all, they start and play as normal! But if i press F9 to look at the Train Consist then the game freezes and i have to end it via CTRL + ALT + DEL. Please any help. This doesn't happen in most activities just the odd few. But when you spend hours making an activity i would like it to work over a probably simple issue!

cheers
Regards,

Are the loco's leading the consists coupled with the front coupler.. A bug with the original versions of that can cause the F9 function to fail. If you are running the msts Bin patch though, it should have fixed any problems with the front couplers.

I have MSTS bin installed, and also its the back of a tender steam loco? Its 7828 from the West Somerset Railway and Carriages from the Severn Valley Railway. I assume this may not change things!?

No it can happen on any route. But not all the activities on that route have the same problem. I remember having the problem before and it hasn't happened for a while but it happened again!
