Loading Tanker Cars

[davidakridge]

I have the tanker pack form Jointedrails and wanted to load one with Avation Fuel or Gasoline. I don't see this in the list nor do I see it as a product to download from the DLS.

How can I do this?

I have the tanker pack form Jointedrails and wanted to load one with Avation Fuel or Gasoline. I don't see this in the list nor do I see it as a product to download from the DLS.

How can I do this?

Aviation fuel and petrol (gasoline) are both built-in products:

Aviation Fuel,<kuid:-3:10045>
Petrol Fuel,<kuid:-3:10012>

You'd need to edit the config.txt for the JRPX tanker and add either/both of the kuid's to the product list for one of the loads (load1 would probably make most sense, since it has less products configured by default).

I suspect JR intended for the 'allowed-categories' config tag to allow the default liquid loads, unfortunately there's an annoyance (some might call it a bug...) whereby you can't specify both a product list AND a product category at the same time...

(There's also another bug where the specified allowed-categories are the inverse of the categories allowed, thus if you want to specify the liquid load category, you'd need to specify that 'container, general load, and bulk load' are allowed, leaving liquid load ommited from the categories allowed, but that's another story)

Thanks for the info. I was thinking of using these in a session and I can't distribute the JR cars if I modify. I'll have to go another route.

David have you tried to make your own tankers? This way you can have them load what you want.
I can't make them myself so i had some one make them for me that would load only one product and he put them on the DLS. They work good when you send a train to a IND that loads a lot of products and only the porduct that car is set up to load will load.
I had 25 cars with 25 difference products when i back the train in to the IND that loads these 25 products each car will load a difference product.
The good thing is he put them on the DLS for everybody and when i get my route done and use them those that DL the route will be able to use them too.
Oh BTW there are tankers that load only one product (Brenntag Diesel fuel Tanker)(brenntag Petro Fuel Tanker)Avaition & Crude oil ones too.

Man I would love nothing more than make my own assets. I'm really good with Photoshop, but I lack the detail skills that it requires to make top notch cars. The tankers from jointedrail just jump off the screen with detail. I sometimes think i'm watching a video. That's the type of detail that keeps me in this simulator.

I think my skills right now are better suited making sessions and l want them to be the best they can be. So the rolling stock and locos are important to me and I need to mostly use freeware to give access to the most people.

I've never thought about getting someone to make them for me. I really wouldn't know who to ask.
