Adding Ethanol to JR Tankers

[throttle9]

Hello all, I'm fairly new to the trainz world so please forgive me of my ignorance. Playing around with the wonderful Midwest Grain 3.0 route and I'm trying to find a modern tanker to haul ethanol from the large Cargill plant. I was hoping to use the UTLX 23k gal car or similar but ethanol isn't one of the products listed to add to the car. Is it possible to add this product to this car? Thanks!

I believe some simple config file editing for the car will work.

Try this:
-find the commodity and note the kuid of it
-open the car that you want it on in CMP
-open the config file
-find the entry named "queues"
-there you should find a line that states "allowed-products", along a numbered list
-find the queue you want to put it in
-add the commodities kuid there
-go down to the kuid table
-add the loads kuid there, too
-save
-commit

Should work in most cases. Make sure to make a backup of the config in case something went awry!
Hope this helps!

Or you can press the + in surveyor next to the already listed commodities and add it to the tanker.

Cheers.

Thanks for the support, I figured that's what I had to do. I've add the product to the car as you suggested but it's throwing back 16 errors after submitting:

Well, good then that you have made a backup of the config!


Revert and try again, maybe one of those "}" got lost among the way? If you cant figure it out, you can still add the product by hand, as Azerwich stated above.

Someone has just discovered the joys of CMP... If you're going to edit a config, don't risk it in CMP. Go to the config.txt in the asset folder once opened for edit.
