Full Version: AI Train Causes CTD

Greetings fellow dieselheads!  Say, I'm having a rather irritating problem cropping up here...

First some setup.  I am using AG to build an activity on the Clovis Sub route, going EB, using the template obtained here (as recommended by the example video)  I am setting up max 20 cars to handle, 10 max setout and pickup.  Picking up from Belen yard (all selected), dropping off in Abo (all selected).  All goes well until I'm proceeding EB off the Sais siding track, merging onto the single track portion at MM 875, where I am signaled to stop and wait.  A few minutes later I crash out to the "train.exe has encountered an error...blah blah" window.  If I reload the activity from the last save point, it will predictably crash at the same point.  Sometimes I'll catch the glimpse of the AI train in the distance before it crashes out.

I have made no consist modifications and have checked everything thoroughly with Route-Riter and ConBuilder (which I broke down and bought).  I AM using MSTSBin version 1.7.051922.

I read somewhere that some people were running into issues with too many wagons in the simulation (this activity loaded some 200 or so in, if I recall), but I don't see anything here about anyone having that problem.

Has anyone else grappled with this issue yet, and if so have any suggestions?

And, is it just me, or is MSTS about the buggiest thing we've seen out of Redmond since Windows 3.0?

Paul,


I haven't seen this, but, if you could email the activity file you generated to me (the .act file) directly at SteveDavis@skylinecomputing.com I will run it here and see if I get a crash also.


Yes MSTS certainly seems to have it's share of bugs and issues!


I am using MSTS Bin also but not that version (I'm still on 1.6).


Thanks,


Steve

Thanks, Steve... I'll do that right now... Welcome back from vacation!  Just had one myself... Didn't realize how much I needed one! <grin>

Paul,


Thanks for your trouble report.  You have located a bug in this template, there was an error in the AI traffic file for the Eastbound template.  I have now updated this template to correct this problem.  The updated template is now posted on the Templates page here at this site (www.skylinecomputingl.com ). 


Thanks for bringing this to my attention!  I apologize for the inconvenience this caused.


Happy TrainSimming!
