Hi,
While creating a template for a large route, I ran into a problem with MSTS Activity Editor. It started to silently crash when opening my template I was working on. After digging around and experimenting, I believe I have found a limitation in AE to the number of sidings that can be referred to with a Pickup Cars action. It seems you can not refer to more than 90 different siding. Has anyone else run into this problem? Are there any workarounds? How are templates created for large routes with more than 90 sidings? Thanks, Tim |

Thanks, Tim I believe the limit is 75 Pickup events, after that it will crash. Stop your pickup events before this and create your SWLACT file. Go to the activities folder for this route and move the file you just created to a temp folder and rename it SWLACT2. Keep doing this untill you have all the pickups for the template, always moving and rename them 2,3,4 or as many as you need. When done copy and paste all the folders into one with the correct name.
