      Hi Dave,

      It seems you have quite a few missing wagons which could be the primary reason for loose consists not appearing.

        AJ,
        Even the Consists that are Complete with No Missing Cars are Not Showing Up. Only Complete Consists Near the Starting Point are Showing Up.

          Again - When OR is loading the loose consists, if it gets to a loose consist where none of the cars has been installed, it stops trying to load loose consists. If there's a loose consist that's just one car, and you don't have that car installed, OR stops loading loose consists right there. That would account for why you see the first few loose consists, and no more after that.

            That Answers My Question. Now I Know I'll Have to Go Through all the Loose Consists and Put Something in Each One to get them to Load.
            Thankyou,

              Have you tried MSTS Activity Manager? It's great tool that checks all consists and tells you the missing files. It is in the file library.

As Soon as I Install an Activity I Start OR and Use the 8 Key to See if the Loose Consists are Where they Should Be and they Are! But not on the LV, Also only the Consists Nearest the Activity Starting Point are Showing up!

                I can appreciate your frustration, Dave, however, attaching the log to the post -- for the activity when the consists do not appear -- will be helpful to the other members wishing to help with the problem.

                In this instance, accepting that the consists are complete ( with required cars or substitutes ) they could be too long for the siding where they are placed --- OR does not use the same method ( algorithm ) to place loose consists as MSTS, so some can end up improperly located. This improper placement is usually annotated in the log as a warning....and the consist does not appear in the game...but it usually appears in TSRE.

                  Gerry,
                  I Thought I did Attach a Log but I Probably Did it Wrong. I'm Not that Good at Stuff Like that. However d carlton told me how OR Operates with Loose Consists so that Seemed to Fix the Problem.
                  Thankyou,
