Lehigh FA1's & FA2's

[dgionet]

Hi Gaetan and Rick,

I have recently bought the Lehigh pack and is a beautiful set. Congratulations!

I have one issue with both of the above trains. Every time I try to run a train with one of the following as the lead engine results in a freeze in the Route and Activity Selection window as I select the activity using one of the engines (see image below)



I can use them as long as the lead engine is not one of them. This occurs only with the FA1 and FA2 sets. With all the other engines, MSTS works well.

Any help will be much appreciated in resolving the issue.

Thanks and, once again, great sets guys. Keep up the good work.

Salut, Denis,

I will take a look. Nothing has been reported, and these locos have been out a LONG time.....

These are the ones from the Buffalo set, or from the original LV set?

Merci

Rick

Denis,

You are absolutely right. I just tried running the LV FA1s and FA2s as lead engines in explore mode and in an activity. No problems in explore mode but in an activity MSTS freezes as soon as you click on the activity in the Route & Activity selection window.

By comparing the ENG files of the LV engines to the ENG file of an EL FA1 (which works in activities) I found the cause of the problem: In the ENG files of the LV engines the "Description" part is missing. I inserted

Description ( " " )

between the "Name" line and the "EngineOperatingProcedures" line, and now the LV FA1s and FAs can be used in activities without any problem.

Hi Uli,

I had followed your suggestion and it works perfectly. A big thanks for your help! Much appreciated.

Salut Rick,

The FA1's and FA2's come with the Lehigh Set.

Problem solved.

Thanks, Uli.

You are my #1 troubleshooter today!

I will update the FAs and the Green GN passenger cars....
