Consists created in TSRE tend to crash the MSTS Editors & Tools

THAT is on this forum. I am referring to Goku's personal TSRE support forum at http://www.onrails.eu/index.php

Using TSRE 0.7002 (the current latest) I was able to create a brand new consist in TSRE and then open and edit it again in either Conbuilder or the MSTS consist editor in the AE

If you have such rolling material with only DDS textures, If you need to use the MSTS AE, make sure to convert DDS textures to ACE ( works with AceIt) and remove the DDS textures from your folder before opening the MSTS AE

When you start suggesting people need to (not just simply replace, but outright) delete newer texture formats to allow a totally outdated activity/consist editor to function, you are venturing into dangerous advice territory. You better be fully aware of any unknown (to you) dependencies you might be breaking.

What is your workaround for when car names are greater than 30 characters, which the MSTS AE can't handle either? Pen a fix that instructs readers to rename the wagon files? Is everyone going to have to do the same so that the shared activity still maintains coordination between developer and user after its distributed? What happens when these long names are embedded in activities as loose consists in the 'factory-supplied' activities? Everyone gonna change those files, too?

These roadblocks tend to be placed ON PURPOSE. To force a new product learning curve upon the masses. You are doing nobody any favors by charting out labor-intensive workarounds just to conform to the past.

The model creator today wants good render detail and so uses DDS textures.
I think TSRE editors handle DDS textured models but I could be wrong having never used the TSRE Activity Editors.

This could be a viable alternative to the MSTS editors.

Goku hasn't appeared on his own forums in weeks, and hasn't been here since mid-July. Perhaps he's on holiday or military service...
