    For the life of me I can't figure out how to choose if I want the railcars in my consist are empty or loaded because by default the cars are empty. Am I crazy or is there no way to load them?

    That feature is something they want to add, but isnt available at the moment.

    They haven't mentioned formation designer in a while, we don't know when or if they will add cargo loading

    However, as a workaround there are some loaded freight wagons on creators club here which you can add to formations. If one you want isn't listed you can request them here, though it depends whether I have the DLC or not

    Yo how do you do that? If I can know I could make some for myself so I can actually have custom livery railcars loaded, like my CSX gondola for example

    I didn’t reply to the write thing, I meant like to the one where you make them loaded in creators club.
