And another thing... A second QD plea - could DTG implement the loco priority rules so that a player loco tugging a freight train doesn't get...

I admire all the creative suggestions for working round something that has been present in all software since forever (except TS bless it). So I...

For the QD menu it would be great if the selection system retained your last setting. It is clunky to have to re-filter every single time you use...

A few people are having the same problem - try this thread: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/train-sim-classic-has-lost-all-sound.75135/

And now for some steam porn - Caledonia Works gorgeous A3 in LNER form waiting at Cambridge station. The 'Northlight' roof of the engine shed in...

To kick things off - here is a nice example of a well-populated QD scenario. The route is my Cambs/ECML thing (set to 1950s appearance),...

Thanks for the reply Steve - much appreciated. I look forward to the next release. And, FWIW, I did a 30 minute route edit session on the Beta...

I've run a few large QDs on the beta (300+consists) and it seems to handle things fine. Still seeing lots of these in the log: 2023/10/08...

I'm excited to report a new (to me) error - loading a QD - got loads of these with no apparent ill-effects: 2023/10/07 17:48:23.431 - [Core] -...

The beta seems at least as stable as the current prod version. I still have to 'preload' the route (Cambs/ECML) before running very large...

The curvature issue would be a problem if trying to create a huge/lengthy route using DEM as I assume the terrain map would diverge further and...

Understood. TBH making my tool more accurate is eminently do-able - the only slightly tricky bit is dealing with tile boundary shifts. It's just...

Yup. In most cases it isn't an issue as you can 'lose' any differences at the nearest curve or change in gradient.

It's worth saying that this 'tool' works to an accuracy of up to half a tile (up to 500m) so there is always the need for a little fettling at the...

Of course - you just create a new track rule with a wider gap between tracks. Have a look at the defaul trackrule for your era - take a copy and...

If you know the offset then you could just copy the original donor scenery tile into the new merged route.

My dodgy developer's tool is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SNVw9d12jSDOpyA6IsiQgR0IeEimVu_P/view?usp=sharing It is NOT a full utility...

In normal usage the water in the tender isn't an issue - the game handles it for you (as long as you remember to fill up from a suitable water...

Agreed - the function list is a starter but there are often nuances that take some trial and error to understand (plus some undocumented stuff...

I have never found a guide. So your best bet is to grab an existing .lua file and look at what it does. The kuju Black5 provides a nice simple?...

Nice site - good to see it all preserved from eventual UKTS destruction...

RWinfo hasn't worked on my Cambridgeshire & the ECML route for several years - but then mine is a 3-way merge so I'm not entirely surprised.

The customx descriptors allow a route/scenario creator to spawn a subset of rolling stock in a QD scenario - usually to cater for special...

Yup - I couldn't see the point when it first arrived either. Must have taken five or more years before I started using it - and now I use it more...

Quick drives are special scenarios that have to be created (by the route builder or a third party). They specify the stopping points and the AI...

Nice tool Reef - in this case the ConsistIds are only an 8-digit number so I've gone old-school and created a set of rising sequences (8 apart)....

Not in this case. The proximate cause (may) have been my habit of using RWTools to clone QD consists to create new ones -without amending the...

Update#2 - so an hour after I posted I got another OOM. However I haven't (yet) completed editing all of the QD consists. Overall, my quickdrives...

You must be murder to make a pot of tea for... ;-)

Progress report for QD OOMs. Having deduplicated the QD fragments I have now tested the first 19 QD scenarios - these range from small (50...

In my case they end up the same because I find it quicker and easier to clone QD consists and (mostly) haven't bothered renumbering the consistIds...

Thanks Richard. I have applied the last bit of your advice (about fragments) and have already seen an improvement in QD stability. I won't say any...

Can you say what the conflicting software was - that might prove useful for some of us?

I think the relevant comment in this thread is..."this locomotive has bad scripts". If Wellington finds a fix then he can share it with the...

Hi Richard, Can you go into a little more detail about what you have done? I assume you are referrig to the ConsistEntry ids in QD consists?

Thanks Steve (and Kiski). Yup, I'm aware of where the problem is - the issue is that it obviously ISN'T a problem as it affects pretty near every...

That's good to hear. I'm happy ploughing through logmate to nail errors down (and fix them sometimes) but there is a tsunami of misinformation...

I play a very large route with a combination of scenery, track gear and locos that span fourteen years of output from more than 50 content...

Interesting - where are you finding this info? All I've seen so far is the luac.bat/exe which I assume is the compiler (last modified 2009).

Do you know of a good decompiler? The only one I found was clunky and generated garbage - after which I gave up and just worked out (with help)...

The difficulties for DTG with this are: a - to upgrade the application they HAVE to upgrade/cleanup the underlying technologies b - much 3rd-party...

F4 now working for me - haven't noticed any loco issues but haven't tried any BMG ones (apparently they have a problem).

Ok - I just run from the pc so no idea how it looks. Does sound like the copy has some difference in the runtimes but I'm sure you're already on...

Purno and R3dS41ft both seem to have a continuation of the .png issue - which begs the question as to whether they actually have the fix installed...

I've had no issues since the release and use a variety of payware and freeware (UK-focused) including some assets (Incl Locos) that date back to...

You should be able to delete the installers via File mangler without losing them in the game (since you have already installed them). I'd suggest...

The signalling around Cambridge was some of my earliest work so my level of knowledge was limited to say the least. It's entirely possible that it...
