Northwest Line Options

[dgionet]

Hello Norm and Steve,

Since May of last year I have been creating activities for MSTS and have enjoyed it as well as the feedbacks. Now I have recently decided to tackle a new challenge in MSTS with attempting to create my first template for the AG3. I chose the newly released Northwest Line 2 to start with.

I have been reading the written tutorial and am getting a good idea of its mechanics. So I have started working on the CP line, with less sidings, a simpler task than the oncoming double track and longer CN line . Step one is done and step two is about to start today.

I may have to write to you if I have some problems. Hope not to be too bothersome. I will try to use the video or written tutorials available before consulting.

Thanks

Denis

This might be one for Steve to answer.

At this point you have already created a SWLACT***.csv?  And verified that it contains the information that you intended?  And checked and corrected the car types listed?

If the SWLACT***.csv checks out okay, then you should reopen AG, click on the "Choose Activity (CSV) File" button, then select this specific activity file which you just checked.  AG should tell you that the SWLTDB***.csv has not been created.  Close the comment box but not AG.  Then click on the "Create and Modify Activity Templates (CSV Files)" button.  Next, click on the "Create a Track CSV File from a Route's .tdb file" button.  Finally, select the .tdb file in this specific route's folder.  It should generate a SWLTDB***.csv for all marked tracks in the route.  You will then need to edit the file to eliminate markers which are not industry or yard tracks, and to correct the CAR TYPE WANTED for each track.
