Hi Guys, I have been creating a custom scenario for Chiltern Railways. I want to add in custom AI trains so I only get Class 168's or 165's via the Ai Spawn Markers. I have been trying to do it via blueprint editor but I realized that will only create a consist but I could do with making a new 'consist type' so it can be selected on the side tab in the editor where's there's already 'Passenger - Reginal' etc. Also in the drop down there is Custom Consist 1,2,3,4 Is there a way I can access one of those custom configs and add it there? Thanks
Hi Sam, TLDR: yes, you can use the custom consist types - but with caveats.. Depends if the scenario is just for your use or for distribution. You can use any of the Custom nbrs as long as they don't conflict with other usage on the route. Consists for AI/static stock are linked to the route or routes specified in the blueprint. So you can use CustomType4 (say) for your 168s/165s on the Chilterns route then it won't affect usage of any QD scenario on any other route. BUT - if other developers have used it for a different purpose on the Chilterns route then your CustomType4 consists might appear when running those other scenarios in a way that wasn't intended by them. SO - if it is just for your use then you can assign the CustomTypes as you wish as long as they are consistent for all defined consists for that route. If you release your custom scenario and consists then you need to be sure that they don't muck-up anyone else's consists for that route. Hope that makes sense.
