Only 4 of my steam engines and tenders showup in the Activity Master.

What does AM queue on to see steam engines. The type of engine in the eng file is engine and steam and for the ones that show and the ones that do not, the settings in the eng file appear the same?

For engines it looks for .eng files with the Type (Steam) as with the default 380. For tenders it looks for .wag files with the Type (Tender) again as with the default 380 and other default steam locos.

Thanks,

Steve

Steve, I'm having the same problem that Rick has with AM finding my steam locos. All other types don't seem to have this problem. I've checked those locos that it didn't identify, and all of them were engine files with the Type ( Steam ) correctly input in the appropriate area of the .eng file.

I've been playing with a U.K. route called "Skipton-Carlisle 1920" that has stock from the very early period of MSTS: 2002-2003. Because computers and graphics cards were not as powerful as they are now, many of the engines (all steam, of course) that come with this route actually have 3 versions in the folder: 2 A/I versions and a driveable one. The A/I engines are extremely low-poly to the point that they are almost 2D, and my computer can easily handle the driveable versions for both player and A/I services; what I want AM to do is to substitute only the driveable versions for the A/I versions.

In some cases one of those versions will show up in AM, but not the other. All are .eng files with Type ( Steam ). Is there something else AM is looking at that I can modify in those files to cause it to identify the loco correctly? I've attached a zip file with three different versions of the same engine, all present in the same TRAINSET folder, of which AM only identifies the "MR_1033_AI" version. I'm hoping you can spot what mods I might need to make to the others so that they too will show up.

Cheers,

Dave
