Industry Problems

[creditonian]

Can you help please? I'm trying to set up a scenario in an Old West layout with A1 drivers.
I have a consist that is made up with stockcars-logging skeletons & flatcars.
They are all NG & I'm running trs2006
Everytime that I run the session, the goods have changed in most of the wagons. i.e a stockcar will load 32'logstacks instead of cattle & a logging skeleton will load cattle instead of a 32' logstack.
There are also other anomalies that I won't bore you with.

I have to change the wagon loads in Surveyor everytime that I run the session.
It's probably something stupid that I've done or not done, but help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
David

Somehow the allowed products have been changed. First off use the properties button under the train tab in Surveyor and see what each car has. When you resave the session, the properties of the cars will be saved. If they still bother, somehow you've changed the config files. Post again and someone will walk you through changing them back.

Thanks Norm,
I've done all that, but the products are still changed for the next session.
Any other ideas?

Then it sounds like your config files have been changed. What version of Trainz do you have, and what are the kuids of the offending cars?

Thanks Norm,
I've done all that, but the products are still changed for the next session.

Is that a new session or a continuation of a saved session? I had that problem with a saved session. Gondolas were filled with diesel and tank cars were loaded with coal. I could empty them but not change what they would load the next time. I had to start the session all over again to get the cars to work correctly.

Thanks for your comments. The info you want:-
I rarely save sessions. This problem occurs at the start of new sessions.

The rolling stock involved is:
36ga Skeleton 36ft D&C 2:86661:1504:2
" " " " " :1
D&RGW class 6D ng Stockcar 2:43955:15045:1
" " 6 " " " 15044:1

I run 2.6 build 3092

Hope this helps.

ensure that you save any changes you make when moving between surveyor and driver...

Thanks Harry. I do save everything each time that I close or go between programmes. I should have made this clear.
This is why it's difficult to understand why these changes happen.

thanks Harry.
I always save when I leave the mode that I'm in. That's why I don't understand the problem

similar things here

I can be running a session, save it, load it later and all my loaded cars will be empty or like you, have other loads. I also tried everything sugested above and nothing worked. The biggest problem cars are the ones you mentioned. Sorry I'm no help but your not alone...John

I don't have slugsmasher's car that you have as mine's built-in, but I checked prowler901's stockcars and the only allowed products are lars's sheep and hogs. Check your configs and see if the allowed products have been changed. Post back if you need help.

Thanks to all for your help & there is some consolation in knowing that the problem is not just mine!
I still haven't solved it & have checked that the allowed products are correct in the configuration file.
I'll just have to live with it unless someone can come up with an answer.
Thanks again.
