Route(linieu1) so I made a new activity and same problem. "Loading time" not working and "next station counter" counts backwards from the normal way. Rest of route is fine. Made an activity on route other than Metropoltan, no problems with F-10. Any ideas? Thanks Roger D.

Hi Roger,a common reason for the loading / unloading not to work is a missing line similar to this one in at least one of the .eng or .wag files of the consist:PassengerCapacity ( 80 )The figure may vary according to what you feel is realistic for your type of train, but the line per se with a figure of 1 or higher is a prerequisite for the F10 loading / unloading to work. You can use WordPad (and should use WordPad exclusively, to preserve the proper unicode format) to open .eng or .wag files. Search for PassengerCapacity, and if it is amiss, a good spot to slip it in would be just before the lights section, for example. If you need more detailed instructions, do a search on these fora with the keyword PassengerCapacity (no space inbetween words), as the issue keeps to pop up occasionally, and tips on how to cure it yourself are easily available.As far as the counter counting backwards is concerned: Bringing your consist to a halt at a platform is not enough for MSTS to realise that you have reached a designated stopping point. Only after hitting "return" for the unloading and loading to start, does MSTS consider your train to be stopping at a stop. But once F10 does not work, so that you cannot load or unload, you'll never get MSTS to realise you are "stopping". Once you move on from the designated stopping point, the counter will count in the negative, indicating by how much MSTS thinks you have overshot the platform... But it should do so only for about half a mile or so, before resetting and indicating the distance to the next stop.Hope that helps you out of your dilemma, although it might mean quite some .eng and .wag editing until you have a passengercapacity line in each relevant file...Lukas a.k.a Swissie

Thank you Swissie, that fixed my problem. Now my next step is to find the "OK to proceed" sound somewhere and add it to this route. Thanks again, Roger D.

Hi,OK to proceed can be found in the general Sound folder:
s_perm_03.wav
To add it to the route, you need to change the ingame.sms
and add a trigger for trigger number 60.
See the ingame.sms of the Europe1 route.Dick van den Hoven
