AG Ignores Car Types Options

[Huecuvoe]

Although I have had both AM and AG for some time I have only recently tried using them. Unfortunately, I have encountered nothing but problems. Some are certainly part of my learning curve, but others seem to be bugs. Rather than dump everything into one unnecessarily complicated post I will try and address one issue at a time. I am working with the following configuration:

Activity Generator: v3.0.1 basic installation - v4.2.11 update
Template: London and Port Stanley AG4 template dated 1-16-2008 (downloaded from Skyline and otherwise unedited)
Route: London and Port Stanley v2.12 mini route - standard installation and included rolling stock
MSTS: MSTSBin v1.8.052113

When I generate an activity with AG using the LPS-AG4 template everything seems to function normally. A new activity and switch list is generated and the generated activity can be run. However, AG seems to completely ignore the CARTYPEWANTED and CARTYPESHIPPED columns and treat every industry as if the car types were set to "A". I have not edited the template and it appears to be correctly formatted.

Any suggestions?

Let me ask if you are setting all the tracks to source or destination? AG ignores CAR TYPE WANTED and CAR TYPE SHIPPED for any track that is selected as a source, or as a destination. Instead, you should select only one or two tracks, perhaps, as source tracks, and only if you do not start with enough cars in the train. Further, you should select only enough destination tracks at the end point to accommodate the train length. All other tracks which you want to work should be selected to be worked, and only to be worked.
