RE: Florida Funnel Packaging

When you package the activity make sure the route folder name is EXACTLY the same as the route ID in the .trk file (US3) and try again.RegardsEric

Looks like this was my problem. I changed the folder name from US3 on my computer to FLFunnel when uploading, but apparently there's still something in the unpacker that looks for US3 and doesn't find it. Looks like the answer is to change the Funnel folder name to US3 and activities should work. By the way, I revised the sigscr and sigcfg files to make the signals at the Callahan and Folkston turnouts work properly, rather than with that screwy 10 mph limit. Though it may mess up activities with timing based on the old files, I have attached the revised files for anyone still running the Funnel and frustrated with the silly 10 mph restriction after going thru turnouts. Just unzip, put in your US3 (or Funnel) root directory and overwrite (backup the original two sigscr and sigcfg files first so you can go back if you have a problem).
