CrrPass activity, Having trouble with this one, and others on BlueridgeProblem is stopping at stations, does anyone have this too?, you stop at the station distance(using F10) 0.00, there is no “press enter to unload pass.”, move up a few yards, still no unload, when I reach 0.01, then I suddenly seem to have stopped and next station is 4.55miles further ??, sometimes it does that, sometimes I can properly stop at a station by moving back and forth, until TS decides that I have stopped, and does it’s countdown. But it is not only this activity but almost any activity on blueridge, but on this one, with the many stops, it is becoming a frustration. Thinking I might be mine or my OS failure, so reinstalled blueridge but to no avail, Loaded the activity in to AE and one click in the AE-window results in the “send/no send” tried a rebuild of the track database in RE, and it always (tried 3x times) stops working at “Lat. - 35.85748 long. - -82.03374” with a “track database error: ‘remove_end_end’ one non-vector, one vector” Camera; tile x –11250, tile z 14095, and I’ll get the message we all love: “send/don’t send”. So, is this only on my “rig” or does anyone else have the same ??Such a shame, 'couse i really like this routegreets Henk

HawK53, Hi Im Moss Man I wrote the CRRPASS activity. As for the problems with the BR sub, you mentioned. I dont know, it sounds like the Route might have some bad files somehow. I run into simular problems when I wrote another activity the "Florida Special". While writing it the Activity Editor Crashed, and I got the send/dont send deal. I started having problems everytime I opened the Activity Editor, or tried to load the BR sub on MSTS. I had to do a complete reload of the BR Sub, and then when I used my copy of the not finished activity, I had saved to another file for safe keeping, it would corrupt the route, still again. I had to delete the activity totaly, do a fresh reload of the BR sub and start over. This solved it. I would suggest a fresh reload of the BR sub. And then unpackage the activity CRRPASS once again. This should get you back to square one. I hope.Now for the other problem with the Station Stops.There is a problem with some of the blue slash distances on the BR sub, if you look at them in the Activity Editor. I am no Route Writer, so this is only a guess, but some of the Blue slashes are much closer togeather than others. These blue slashes indicate the Station Stops or Platforms. The one that are so close together are the ones that are next to impossible to get stopped in the right spot. I am guessing that is the problem, I could be wrong.However, that is why I wrote all of the instruction in the README file and on the BRIEFING to not use the MSTS method of stoping at the perfect spot and pressing the ENTER key to get the countdown timer on loading passengers. I have the activity set up to still give you a good job evaluation on the final report, if you follow the README file instruction. Just use the TimeTable on the F10 and the running activity clock, to keep your schedule. Or you can use the TimeTable.JPG if you print it out. It is the same as the F10 TimeTable. I manual edited the time in the station stops so this would work. Also If you run on time then you will see the Traffic Trains as you are supposed to. Good luck, I hope this helps you out. Remember to follow the Radio Messages that come up from time to time from the CRR Dispatcher, and your train Conductor. I think it is more realistic to do it this way than to use the MSTS method anyway. A real train engineer doesnt try to stop on a dime, and neither should we. Just so your coaches are in front of the Station. Where there are no buildings to indicate a station, use the F6 key to show the location of the stop. Give her another try and follow the instructions in the README file, and you should be OK as far as the activity goes anyway. I hope you enjoy the activity, after you get MSTS to work with the BR sub again.Best of Luck Phil Senter aka
No there is nothing wrong with your Activity’s, I did the “Florida Special” and it would drop out to the “send/no send” unexpectedly every time. Sometimes after 1min’s or 10 min’s but back to the “send/no send” it went Neither is Mr. Sullivan to blame, if anyone is to blame it is M$/Kuju, after one year 1 update, is all we get for a 75 euro buggy program! Oh gosh I almost forgot upd. 1.2 ; 2 trains/activity’s were no one is really waiting for, and a “send / don’t send” which isn’t working either. But I was really hoping on some reactions from fellow users, but it seems no one is interested, ask a question ‘bout AmericanRR history and they stumble over each other to give an wrong answer, but when there are more then two words to read no one is home.. my excuses go to the ones who are willing to help, but that’s how it is So keep up the good work and thx for the tip’s B.t.w. I looked the train over, but there is no smoking bearing too see…

Yeah I know what you mean, last night I downloaded it from Train-Sim, deleted my old files from MSTS. And then loaded it from the crrpass.apk file. Just to test it all out more. And I couldnt get it to load up after that with out doing a explore route on the BR sub first. If I did that it would load, but with out it i got send/dont send. Then when I got to the Great White Void, I did a save and exited the game. And when I went to reload the save. It would not load, I never had a problem with that before, but I got the send/dont send deal again. I tried at least 10 times to load the saved game. I had to just give up and start from another save a few minutes before, and rerun a few miles to do another save after I got into the G.W.Void. Then it loaded up. I have no idea why.It can make you so mad. But MSTS is all we got until somehing better comes out, I reckon. Yeah that smoker they smelled might be on the other side, from our train. Hee Hee. Hang in there HawK53.... Phil Senteraka
