I have been enjoying Activity Generator for years and it is an excellent tool for MSTS. However, AG lacks one element that would make this product more realistic - continuity. In the real world, freight cars move in a logical fashion on a day-to-day basis. In other words, it an activity I create tomorrow should build on what I did today. This function would require AG to save today's end-of-session status (what cars are at what industry). Tomorrow's activity would start out with all the same cars in place based on what I did (or was supposed to do) in today's session. For example, the empty boxcar I setout yesterday at the Grusome Casket Company would be loaded and ready for pickup today. The activities developed for the virtual Cascade & North Western follow a logical sequential order similar to this and are most realistic. I am not a programmer but I do remember that the waybill generation software (Commodore 64) I used for my HO layout years ago had this function. I think it is worth your consideration.
