Dec-14-01, 08:02 PM (EST) 1. "RE: problem with my activity" This was brought up only a couple of weeks ago, by someone who had put too much in his activity and all the signals blacked out. I have also created activities that are too big and thought that the number of cars was the problem. However, Sniper was nearer the mark by pointing out that there is a limit to the number of light sources that can be in the game at once (i.e. if you have too many locos running, it overloads the game with regards to lighting). Do a search (it has been discussed a couple of times in far more detail than I can remember) - but basically you need to reduce the number of light sources present within the activity! This means less AI traffic and/or less AI locos, and less static consists.Hope that helps.
TAfan.PS If you are using Spittler Engineering's GP38 skin, this can exacerbate the problem since it uses so many light sources. I believe a fixed .eng file is now available for this if you plan on using many GP38s in an activity.
