Hi all,
I’ve got a couple newbie questions regarding the handling of rolling stock etc. in both programs. I just downloaded and installed both programs and admittedly haven’t finished reading the manuals for both. What I was trying to do was customize the “type” and “load?” fields in the “RSLIST.CSV” file. I found a little info in the thread “cartypes.csv” dated April 28, 2007 which seems to have answered some of what I’m looking for, but not everything.
1) It looks like the “type” fields can be changed, but not the “load?” fields. I had initially changed a number of the load fields only to find when I started AM again, these fields where changed back. Is there a way to keep the changes made to this field?
2) I’ve found that I have a lot of rolling stock in the RSLIST (I’m sure not as much as others have) that doesn’t give enough info as to whether the wagon is loaded or empty, which would at least allow me to change the type description to something more meaningful, such as CL or CLMT. Is there a program that can look at all the .wag files and determine whether the wagon is loaded or empty.
I apologize for what some might see as dumb questions, and yes, if I had finished reading both manuals my questions may have been answered.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Doug
