    What was being corrected was an old format that allowed for mixing feet with inches, and the original MSTS Kuju SD40 used that style of notation.

    Normalizing/converting those values is the only way to correctly calculate the consist length and tonnage.

    What's entered in the wag or eng file can be whatever accepted measurement you want, and in TSRE you can change the display to Imperial if you'd rather see that vs. Metric.

    But.... TSRE shouldn't be altering the wag or eng files. It's only supposed to be adjusting what's displayed in TSRE. If the files are being updated, that's not intended behavior.

    I'm coming from xx5b and have a question. There was another post where someone asked about spaces between an IC SD40, that was caused by the eng file size being in ft. I have that loco, but don't recall using it in sim, and did not fix the eng file. But when I checked the eng file, the size was in ft. Today after installing xx5e, I checked and the size was in m. Loaded it up in the sim and there was no space. Did TSRE auto-correct this?

    A new version is up, which addresses a couple bug fixes.
    • MSTS shadows weren't being disabled correctly when the settings were asking them to be
    • non-square and non-power-of-2 ACE texture files (e.g. dimensions of 253 x 253 and 1028 x 1096 ) weren't rendering and were being replaced by a different texture in error

    Also.... there's a new setting that will allow you to launch the Shapeviewer or Consist Editor by default without needing to use a batch file or command line.

    startapp = c /// launches the consist editor
    startapp = s //// launches the shapeviewer

    The default behavior (for now) is still the route editor.

    Unfortunately, that's sorted on the "DisplayName" field, which is a text field. There's no "sort text as numbers" option in the compiler.

    By default, activities and consists are loaded.

    If you want to bypass loading consists and activities, remove the # and set those values to true.

    Personally, I don't know why you wouldn't load your existing consists, if for no other reason than to avoid duplicating one.

    which way do you do it for it to load faster? With or without the # sign in front of the load activities and consists?

    Great update. It loads a lot faster now. Would there be a way to change the way it sorts so that the lesser digit numbers appear in the correct order? On the spreadsheet program I use (LibreOffice Calc), I have to check "enable natural sort" in order to make something like this sort correctly, outside of making the numbers all the same number of digits - 011, 002, etc.

    If there's a # or // in front of a setting token, then it's commented out and ignored, with the default setting will be applied.

    Remove the # or // in front of a token, and the setting you specify will be applied.

    In the settings.txt the line reads as follows:
    #loadConsists = false
    #loadActivities = false

    I did not set this, this was as downloaded.​

    You've set loadActivities and/or loadConsists to false?

    Default action is to show them.
