RE: UPLOADING NOW!!!!

I cannot seem to find bnsf6345.zip or 3g.zip here in the train-sim files. Do they come from a different site?

RE: Marias Pass 3.1 Act Pack coming very soon

Of course there is always somethingDoes anyone know if that engine is available anymore...Also if anyone decides to pull their stuff (which is fine it is their stuff) I wish there was a way or some system to let us know when they do that. So those of us who make activities can make ones that are up to date.

RE: CONSIST FIX!

Bob, I'm loosing my mind here.Why would Conbuilder show the P42 consist, D9's grain consist, and the BNSF GE EMD Autos consist as missing when they are in the consist folder?I've seen this once before, and cannot remember the cause or fix.

RE: CONSIST FIX!

Applied the consist fix after downloading and installing the activities and I still can't start activities without "error reading train database" messages about bnsf6345 even though checking the consists and activites with ConBuilder shows them to be clean. Picked through the consists and couldn't find any references remaining for bnsf6345. Anyone else having the same problem?Mr. F

RE: CONSIST FIX!

Maybe so (and if true then that would be great), but what I can't figure out is after looking through all the consists and after applying the consist update that doesn't make use of bnsf6345 I still get the errors when starting an activity. Is it in one of the loose consists maybe?Mr. F

RE: Marias Pass 3.1 Act Pack

Thank you, Bob, for another great package of activities. I installed them last night and had a great time running trains over Marias Pass. However, I am still having derailments EVERY time I run a westbound at Cutbank. I have edited the WAG files for all my rolling stock as per advice from this forum and realize that the problem is caused by such long stretches of track without switches. Has anyone gone back and installed "invisible" switches to correct this problem and if so, would they be willing to upload a fix for those of us who are "Route Editor challenged?"

RE: Marias Pass 3.1 Act Pack

Oh yeah I should put my 2 cents in
I had the 6345 and 3g files on a CD-R so I was able to use the activities. But then I had to download one of the BNSF Dash 9 packs (the one with 778 in it I think it's 905 2 or something like that) because the activities called for it.After that the thing worked flawllessly.

RE: Marias Pass 3.1 Act Pack

Greetings!I hope the author reloads his stuff and again without all the hard work done by the developers of locomotives, routes and stock we would not have the MSTS experiance we have today.I fully understand the authors right to pull their stuff but I almost wish there was some way to let us all know. Now not only will my MP3.1 stuff have trouble but anyone new who tries any of my BNSF acts will have trouble.Developers, again I am one who highly appreciates all of your hard work but if anyone is going to pull stock to update or anything like that can you at least leave the old stuff there I am not complaining or flaming, I offer that question with the higest respect. The problem is now I will get e mails from folks (And I welcome them) who are trying to get my acts to work and can't find those motors. Just a thought..As stated on the other thread there will be another version when I can get to it, hopefully soon. Thanks again..SMILE!BobFlorida Railfan Page
