Northwest Line route v6, Oncoming template Options

[dgionet]

Hello to all,

For those who were there in early 2007 was done my very first template, that was the Northwest Line version 2. Today, close to six years later is being worked version 6, the third template for this route ( v2 & 3 done). Rory Rice, its creator has done a very good job on this one as he took advantage in MSTS advancements of the last years. For example, for those who had run Ted Kocyla's Mactier route, some of the work done there can be found here as well, like the switches components, including small propane tanks for heating the switches, etc. The scenery has been enhanced throughout the entire route. Good job Rory!

Preparation of the template has started three months ago but has been halted when was released the Blue Comet (BC) route and have decided to create the BC template first. Now this being done, I have resumed its construction and have now finished the nine templates. Four (4) templates for the mainline templates (EB and WB) for each the CN and CP lines. Another four (4) has been done for the local templates (EB and WB). Fianlly the last one is a yards templates for the main cities, Delmenton and Korimer areas. The number of serviceable sidings has increased to more than 220 from the previous 130.

Benny has volunteered for testing and has started doing so. Thanks again Benny! Let me know if you wish to test the templates.

I gave up with this because I have download the zip files and install them all afternoon and still nothing work right. Yes I did remove all the files first for that activity in the ROUTES Folder of Northwest 6 before installing the files again not overwrite them. Still the same thing with the word popped up right at the beginning of the MSTS simulation -- ALERT! Activity Complete. That is really annoying with this part. Guess that I can't run this activity that was created by Denis Gionet. By the way my operating system is Microsoft Windows Professional SP-3.

Thank you,

John

I believe that you are selecting the wrong activity to run. If you are getting 'ALERT! Activity Complete' right from the start, you are selecting the Activity Template that is used for creating runable activities. I just tested my theory and I got the same result that you have encountered. After generating your activity in Activity Generator, when starting Train Simulator, you need to run the activity that begins with SLG-xxx. Make sure you look for it. Denis created 10 different Activity Templates for this route so it might be buried in the list.
