Reading Passenger Pack

I'm having a problem with the Amtrak Coach #5204. Conbuilder shows this listed as Reading Crusader Coach, and in the Edit box, it shows Amtk Coach 5204. There seems to be an ace file missing as the top of the car, and the bottom compartments of the car are white. I checked Shape Viewer and it looks like this file is not checked, TCoach5204.ace. Is this the missing texture file, and how do I get it? I did a fresh re-install but that didn't help. All help is appreciated.

That's very strange. The Amtrak set has a 'coach4.wag' (5204) as does the Reading set, but they are in different file directories. Conbuilder should be able to sort that out....

I will issue a patch that renames the Reading wag files. Looks like I'll have to also update my activity as well Sad

Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: Nope, activity runs fine! Patch has been uploaded

No problem Rick, I figured maybe the problem was here, but I sure couldn't see anyplace else to check out, so I was just wondering.

Jim,

The patch has been uploaded. Another thing, the Crusader cars have gradual release braking. The prototype cars could not be mixed in other consists. I'm not sure if that will be an issue with the MSTS version.

FP7 902, 906 and the 5 Crusader cars are setup with that different braking arrangement.

Got it Rick. I'll load it up later.

Thanks,
Jim

Hey Rick - that patch didn't fix it. When I removed the Amtrak 5204 coach, then the Reading coach was OK. I can do without the Amtrak coach anyway. Just FYI.

Really? That doesn't make sense. Does it cause the same issue with Crusader coach #2? There is also an Amtrak coach2 (#4813), does the same thing happen in conbuilder with that coach?

Rick Shocked

NOPE! I just "updated" the Reading equipment in CB and everything is fine, except that Amtrak coach which I took out. All of my equipment is up to date in CB.

I'm checking my Amtrak coaches right now, as maybe I don't have the 4813. I only have the first Amtrak set put out, which I think was the NE set.

The wag file is 'Coach2.wag'
