..I am in the process of converting the default activities for the NEC route to the NEC4 route (mostly just about changing paths and recalculating station stops.) if anybody is interested I may upload them to the file library when finished (probably won't be until about a month's time though, as I have other more important things to do as well

As I said, they'll be uploaded in about a month's time. The activities will require Dyvach's remake of the Acela Express. If NALW's Silverliners and AEM-7 are out by the time I upload the activities, these will most likely be required as well. Other than that though, there shold be all default stuff.

RE: If anybody is interested..

Well, as this will be the default activities, they'll be kept in a modern-day setting. GG1s are gone nowadays, so none of those.. Don't know if any MP54s are still in use? ALP44s and E60Cs might be prototypical still, I guess. Still though, it is also a matter of not including too much in the way of non-standard rolling stock in order to not alienate people who don't have/don't want to download/can't download it.
Still, there is always a chance I might make custom activities on a later date featuring the stuff you mentioned above

Hello! Looking good, but "Summer Express" complains about consists which can not reach the track or are improperly placed or something! Then the non existent modem clicks here and we're out of MSTS and would be calling home. (Send ... Don't Send). I love the way the “new” section of Nec 4 comes and joins with the “old” section. I wish there were activities for passenger runs with MP 54s or whatever they are ... along with GG 1s and LIRRs so I could drive a train around there with lots of AI and recall how it was when I was a kid and I used to ride my truck bike out to the LIRR crossing gate and mess around with the attendant there ... until a train would come blasting through ... and one day ... unbelievably, the attendant told me there were plans to remove all the crossings ... and that was that for me and othersUNTIL NOW!! Come on with some activities which run passenger trains on the crossing rich sections of the new old eternal NEC 4. In Respectful MSTS Dreams(Now I'll never get to run for President ... )

I'll look into it, but it'll be sometime before I can post a fix I am afraid, as I do not have private internet access anymore... :-/

Hello!! Look, I recall when you were “threatening” to update Nec activities to run with NEC 4. The possibility was very enticing to me and when that update appeared, I certainly downloaded it. Now, at the appearance (here ... not noted on this board by anyone else) of a very minor problem ... you come back and note that you may take a look when you get a chance but as you no longer have private internet access this may be a problem!! Under any circumstances yours truly would just like to state again how nice it is that you have done what you have done but to do this and do this so well ... without private internet access is just stunning. To do as you have done without private internet access ... it's just ... well ... inspiring ... challenging and very very much appreciated.Respectfully

RE: If anybody is interested..

I have checked the activity and found out that there were in fact two things causing the problem, one being that an AI train path was set to run the AI train into a siding occupied by a static consist, the other was a static consist near Philadelphia that was no longer on the track. Hopefully I'll be able to package it small enough to fit on a floppy and upload from Uni, after I get the activity tested. Otherwise it'll have to wait for another few weeks until I am at my parents' house again.
