Scenery asset to commodity

[stouthm]

Dave Snow's asset "Lumber load for flatcar", kuid:101046:108938, would be a perfect for any flatcar load. I don't want to bother Dave and I figured I might try to figure this out with a little help. I know enough about the config to get myself in trouble but what the heck, I'll give it a try. Any help would be appreciated.

Would it be as easy as changing kind "Scenery" to kind "Product"?

Try it, I may have got the mass incorrect and it doesn't have the optional icon. If you prefer to roll your own you can see the multiple changes in the config.txt file. If it's acceptable I'll upload it to the DLS.

Thanks

Thank you, John, for the cdp, it worked. Is there an easy explanation as to how you did it, in case I would like to try it at another time? If not, I'll just get back to you. Thanks again, now back to my route building.

Just compare the two config.txt files and note the changes. notepad++ has a compare feature that makes it easy.

I thought about that after I had sent the message. I'll give it a try.
