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

Denis,

No it doesn't matter what version of Excel you have, in fact you don't need Excel at all to run Activity Generator's functions (although it DOES help a lot with editing the CSV files after you use AG to create them).

Do you have the latest version of AG, 3.1.1?

Also I'm pretty sure you already did this but just to be sure, did you open the "Activity CSV" File first, before pressing the "Create a Track CSV File" button?

Did you open the .tdb file?  Is that when you got the error?

Sorry, I can't duplicate this problem.  I downloaded the route and created a TDBCSV file from it and got the message "Found 145 Sidings".

If you'll email your SWLACT file direct to me at SteveDavis@skylinecomputing.com, I will use it to create a SWLTDB file and send it back to you.

Or maybe you could email me some screen shots or be a little more specific about exactly where you are getting this error.

Sorry, I wish I could help more.  But I can't get the same problem to occur on my machine.

Thanks,

Steve Davis
