Has anybody heard from AP regarding weather errors in quick drives?

Köln airport link. Quick Drives mostly unplayable. The regional trains installs them selves in the blueprint of other routes and via that changes the AI traffic in other routes.

Witachtalbahn. Too slow for me. The Br86 instals itself as a regional train in other routes so you have an old single steam locomotive running the s-bahn line. Etc etc That is a no go. Only way to get rid of that is deinstalling the br86. But then you can’t really play the wutachtalbahn.

Black forrest journeys. No pzb magnets and missing tracks.

Algaūbahn. Missing tracks.

The rest i am happy with. That includes all the rest of the german routes on steam plus Inntal. Arlberg, Münster Bremen, and even Dresden Schöna.

@Maik Goltz

Genau.

Already a couple of days after ts19 came out i wrote here in this forum that something in the dispatcher code had changed. I noticed it behaved differently and more unpredictably.

I’ve been working on Real Drives for the Arlbergbahn during the hollidays. Here is Innsbruck - Landeck

Clearing cache is also recommended.

I’ll specify version 1.03 in the PDF.

The “unable to resolve clash error” happens for a nymber of reasons. I am very meticolous when it comes to routing AI and player trains, and i add in more destinations so nothing can go wrong. So if this message comes up it is because the dispatcher dismisses a route i specified for a train. Why on earth the dispatcher sometimes does this i don’t know. Another probable reason is the dynamic allocation of wagon numbers. If two wagons by accident have the same number this gives the same error mesage.

I’ve had this error with qd scenario where there only was two trains and their routes was more that 100km apart. A train clash was impossible but yet that was the error message i got.

Old TS code getting fragile.

@StS
Hi there.
1- First try quitting TS opening it again and run the scenario again. Sometimes the dispatcher just freaks out for no reason. Also try using a different loko.
2- Are you using the version purchased from Steam or Aerosoft? I only have the steam version so maybe something was changed from the Aerosoft version.
3- Can i ask you to try re-installing the rwp again? Missing destinations is a form of datacorruption that sometimes happen.

As i said, i have a backup. I never mess around with my ts installation without backing up first.

But i’ll have to check out that GenericModEnabler thing. Sounds like a very good tool to have.

Unfortunately there is no de-installer. I mostly drive quick drives and i can’t live with the weather not functioning. I did take a backup before installing, but i also did some work on Real Drives so i will have to find a way of saving that work before reverting to my backup.

Thinking of it. If there is never a fix for this, everybodys quick drives will have their weather/sky ruined forever

wrong thread. Sorry.

@jpvdveer

Thanks for confirming. Could i ask you to report this to AP? The more people that report this to AP the bigger the chances for a fix.

Another bug: In standard TS weather the the daylight changes during the day even during quick drives. This does not seem to happen with AP weather.

@Werner17

Thanks Werner. Going to give myself some late christmas presents then

I have a bug with the weatherpack.

In quick drives try setting the season to summer, weather to fog and the time to 17:00

On my system the sky is blacker than black with this setting.

Another bug is that snow defaults to the old TS snow at 17:00 too.

I’ve tested it on München Garmisch. München Rosenheim. Mosel Valley. Tirol. Arlbergbahn.

You have to do this in Flensburg. Duisburg is too far away from Denmark

REAL DRIVES for Freiburg - Basel are available for download now. See the first post.

@fizzbin

Thanks. I'll be buying those while they are still on sale then

@Prelli

Yes true. But sometimes, as you know, routes comes without any trains in the preload folder. So first i am going for routes that have trains in the preload. And the only way to know that, without owning the route(!) is to ask if anyone has seen trains in the quick drive of the route.

As we talked about some months ago, it might not be wise to mess with other users preload folders, and i am asking for routes i can make Real Drives for without doing my own preload blueprints.

So the only way to know if i can make a Real Drive for a route like the Südbahn is to ask, since i do not own it.

Thanks @StS

It is a very useful tool. But it only works if i al ready own the route and i am asking because i want to know before i buy the route.

@jpvdveer

I’ll try that

I always put in extra destinations at places where the dispatcher could potentially take the wrong routes. When it comes to the dispatcher take this stance: If it can go wrong it will go wrong.

Don’t leave route choices up to the dispatcher.

I am trying to make the weatherpack work in Quick Drives in Herman routes from DTG. But they are all packed as ap files. The new weather itself works as expected but the clouds and background skies do not.

With routes that are not packed as ap files (Koblenz Trier, Arlbergbahn etc) it was easy and worked, but no luck with routes packed as .ap files.

I tried unpacking Lübeck Hamburg, changing the TimeOfDay data as described and then zipping and renaming as .ap but it broke the route and i got errors when loading scenarios. Good thing i had a backup. Have any of you managed to get the clouds and background skies from weatherpack working on german dtg routes?
