Consist editor

[frogpipe]

When I look at the Surveyor List, only some of my "home made" consists show up in it. All the ones that were built in and installed with DLC trains are there, and SOME of my own, but not all.

I tried making a few new ones and they don't appear the in "Surveyor List" either, so what did I miss doing?

(Just to make this extra confusing, the ones that don't appear in "Surveyor List" do appear in the tab in Surveyor.)

Did you name them, for eg 10000 ton coal.
If you've gone to SP 1 some of your old ones may be faulty, check in cm.

 

[frogpipe]

Not faulty, and once again THEY APPEAR IN THE TAB IN SURVEYOR

The don't appear in the "Surveyor List" which is seen in the new consist editor and in quick drive.

The 'Surveyor List' is read-only, so it only contains default consists.

There is however another list called 'Main List' which is read/write (i.e. not read-only).

Not a good choice of names then. Am I really that far off my rocker to expect the "Surveyor List" to have the same consists in it that I see when I'm in SURVEYOR?

My Main List is empty....

 

[shaneturner12]

That's normal, although consists can be added to that list.

I would have thought that using the Get tool on the Consist page would create the required consist entry...

So how do I get the consists I already made into the "Main List"?

You will need to add them manually via the in-game options dialog.

Then you mean I'll have to rebuild them by hand? Because I don't see them anywhere...

Works pre SP! but not after update!!

I am having the same problem. I did a fresh install of T12 and applied SP1 and the hotfix. I transfered 2 of my favorite consists and downloaded all the dependencies. When I go to Surveyor they are in the Consist list. When I try to add them to a route via "New train" they do not appear!

I went back to my Pre-SP1 install, went into Surveyor, created a test Consist and saved. I went into a route and went to "New train" and there is was. I was able to put it on the tracks!!

So what is different with the new patch. I am out of ideas. Works with the old and not with the new.:'(

Any help would be appreciated.

I got a response on another thread.

A) the "Global Consists" thing-a-ma-jig is broken, it doesn't "import" your home made consists.
B) it will be fixed "in a future update" (Why the hell couldn't they just leave it alone?)
C) Official advice is to make a session, plop all the trains you want in it, and run that. (kinda defeats the whole damn purpose eh?)

Yikes! Not the answer any of us wanted to hear. But thank you for letting me know. Session building it is.

Cheers,

As of hot fix 2 it's repaired.
