Quick drive confusion in routes

[sakima]

Am I missing something? YES!
An engine to pull the consist!

So... you just answered your own question or do you also want some reaction of others?

Lets asume the latest:
The quick drive function gets trains out of a pre-made list. You can add trains to that list by opening a session, add some trains+cars to a piece of track and then save that. In other words: Go to the last tab on the right side of the screen in surveyor. Put rolingstock on track, go to the 2nd option in that tab ("Train Mode (C)"), click on the fork-like icon ("Get Consist (G)"), save the train.
Now you have that train in your quick drive list.

Tim, I don't know if your asking a question or making a statement!
what I would say , is try reading the manual provided, at least once.

Isn't technology a wonderful thing.

Thanx. I understand now.

Advanced Consist Creation

You can also create a consist in Content Manager. Simply import a folder with the following config.txt (minus the stuff between double-asterisks):

kuid                                    <kuid:#:#> ** Fist number is your user ID, second number is any number that is not already associated with your content. **
username                                "Put the asset name here"
kind                                    "consist"
trainz-build                            3.1
category-class                          "CN"

consist-list
{
  car0
  {
    car-kuid                            <kuid:#:#> ** THE KUID OF THE CAR YOU WANT TO LEAD YOUR CONSIST **
    car-dir                             1 ** This car will face forwards. **
  }
  
  car1
  {
    car-kuid                            <kuid:#:#> ** YOU CAN ADD AS MANY CARS AS YOU LIKE **
    car-dir                             0 ** This car will face backwards. **
  }
}

kuid-table
{
  0                                     <kuid:#:#> ** REPLACE THESE KUIDS WITH THOSE FOUND IN THE CONSIST-LIST. **
  1                                     <kuid:#:#>
}

You can also create a consist in Content Creator Plus - simply create a new asset and make it a consist, then add the cars and modify their directions.
