Just click the scenario you want on the left of the "Drive a train" screen and choose the locomotive and cars you want. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

That works for "explore route", but I don't believe it works
for specific activities, correct? In other words, if I was running an Empire Builder activity
on Marias Pass, I couldn't use an F7A consist instead of
the EB, could I?

Sep-06-01, 02:00 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Importing cars and locos" LAST EDITED ON Sep-06-01 AT 02:08 AM (EST)It can be done by editing the .srv file in the SERVICES folder and the .act file in the ACTIVITIES folder with Wordpad. Just change the consist in the Train_Config line of the .srv file. Eg. Train_Config ( 2000Std )to Train_Config ( TrakTruc ) then "save as" whatever name you want. Then change the Player_Service_Definition line in the act file Eg. Player_Service_Definition ( "Cramdondelduf to Viaducthead" to Player_Service_Definition ( "Cramdondelduf to Viaducthead 2" and "save as" whatever.
This will only work on the same route. There is no way that I know of to edit activities for different routes without using the Route Editer.Richard Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
