Activity packs -- a simpler replacement process? Options

[klsc85]

This may be a toughie, Steve, but here goes:

Let's say I download one of Bob Pickering's monster activity packs for a particular route. It contains, say, 12 different activities, all using the same downloaded stock. The way it works now, Activity Master will only create an archive for one activity at a time, which can be a fairly time-consuming process for users like me who desire specific replacements for unknown and known stock (less work than using Conbuilder or Route Riter, I admit, but still...). Has any thought been given to an AM upgrade that would, as an option, replace all stock in an activity pack with a one-time set up?

Just wondering...

That is an interesting idea. One way to get what you want would be to use the "Rolling Stock Groups" feature so that the cars that are available for replacement are always the same. I suppose one way to handle your idea would be to allow users to save their choices for what is replaced with what. Then you could load that as a starting point and only have to fill out any cars in a new activity that weren't in the other activity in the pack. Would that work?

Thanks,

Steve
