I downloaded a scenario from Rai-Sim.de for the Karawankenbahn https://rail-sim.de/forum/filebase/entry/9636-a-d-container-für-villach-wbh/ The player loco is an OBB 1216 Electric and having played it I wanted to run it with a Diesel. Swapping the player loco for a BR266 I get a message saying the Player Train Failed but with no reason. Nothing to do with Fuel in the loco - I checked that one. Any thoughts?
Could be lots of things: -A longer loco pushes the train further backwards, possibly causing signalling issues, which fucks up things for trains behind -The AI might route a diesel train over a route an electric loco would be unable to use, causing conflict -A slower speed loco messes up timings, which again causes issues for AI services
Why would the diesel be unable to use an electric route? I understand the other way round would be a problem And it is a timetabled scenario so all the other trains have booked paths otherwise the scenario would not work
Where did I write that? I wrote: "The AI might route a diesel train over a route an electric loco would be unable to use, causing conflict" In other words the exact opposite of what you claimed I wrote.
Yes, my bad - I mis read the comment. Normally the AI Does not route trains as for them to work they have to be timetabled.
I had the same problem, except that I had replaced a “basic” Black Five steam locomotive with a Black Five BMG. After the error message, I was still able to start the scenario using F2 Cancel procedure. After starting the train on time, I found myself stuck at a red light, whereas in the original scenario, the light turned green as normal. After several attempts, I finally gave up. I never found out why. It's as if the scenario was designed not to be modified!! Richard.
I tried the MCRE BR266 in the same scenario and on load in I got many failures - see log mate, I F2'd past the error and could drive the loco but I had no PZB at all no indicators nothing and all signals were red and stayed red. I suspect the loco isn't compatable with the routes pzb\signaling. I tried the Vr BR218 from steam and the RSSLO DB BR 247 and they worked fine
The 266 may be longer than the 218 or 247, pushing the train further backwards, fouling signals for other trains.
I never thought about the 218 or the 247 - might try one of them I will look at that - I swapped the train loco and stock but kept the overall length the same.
