CNR Dundas Troubles Options

[NW_611]

Folks,

I tried making an activity earlier today for the Niagara Corridor, and it's causing some problems. The first problem was that the game threw a fit about an error in line three of DundasPlayer.con. I took a look at it and well, there's nothing that I can spot wrong. To be on the safe side, I resaved the thing in ConBuilder.

Problem solved? Wrong. When I clicked on "DRIVE A TRAIN", the game locks up, the drive activity light pulses, and three or four minutes go by before MSTS decides that it wants to quit.

I think the problem is in the activity file, because ConBuilder locks up when I try to check the generated activity. What else can I look at as the source of trouble?

First, are you sure you're running the activity you generated and not the template itself?  Don't run the activity with the word "template" in it or try to open it, these will often crash MSTS AE and probably other utilities.

If that's not it, try and generate a new activity, give it a name you'll remember when asked to save it, and then if you still have a problem please email the consist .con file to us.

Also Norm Beveridge who wrote this template monitors this forum and he'll offer some help too I'm sure.

Thanks, sorry about the problem.
