I'm designing an activity where an A-B-B-A F-unit helper is coupled to an AI train and the activity is supposed to end successfully. knowing the previous problems wioth front coupling and coupling with AI trains, I ran many experiments. These are the results:
1) Helper coupled to AI train and activity ended
(desired result) 38%2) Helper coupled to AI train, activity didn't end 8%3) Helper coupled to AI train, program crashed
in various ways 42%4) Helper didn't couple, AI train took off backwards 8%5) Crashed after successful coupling and activity ended 4%These experiments were run with the lastest MSTS patch (which improved the number of successes dramatically). As you can see, much improvement needs to be done in this area.Steve
