Railworks America

Hello RWA community.

I am having some issues with some addon rolling stock causing scenarios to not load. I've narrowed it down, and the rolling stock causing the failure seems to be MaineLines's 50ft FMC Plate B boxcar, and the reskins of it. I am sort of a newbie to TS17, or Railworks in general, and I'm not sure why these cars are causing problems. I don't think I'm missing anything, I even have the required sound library. I think they are installed properly (they all came with an EXE file to install them into the game).

The error I am getting is as follows:

"An error occurred trying to load the Quick Drive scenario."

Thanks in advance for any help, and thanks for dealing with a "newbie".

Be good to know what scenario and QD you are doing so that someone can try it out. When you post an issue make sure you give as much detail as possible which should hopefully resolve your problem quicker.

My first question is can you get this car to load on a plain free roam scenario?

Normally a missing or damaged piece of rolling stock will not cause that error message. Knowing the starting point and at least the size of your consist will help.

I get that error message most often when I try to load a consist that is 'too big' for the start location. My usual check on the consist is to try to load it in Conkelly Yard on Marias Pass route. If that works, the consist is not the problem.
Then I try loading a light engine at the original start point. Many times I find I was trying to load an 80 car consist on a siding with room for 10 cars.

In any case, whichever of our theories is correct we need more information.

Sorry for my lack of replies.

I have narrowed it down to these boxcars by building a consist of one of each with known working locomotives, and then separate consists of one car each.

This happens on every route, all on QD scenarios (I don't have any regular scenarios that use these cars).

Can you do as Buzz suggested above and make a new free roam scenario using these cars. That would be the simplest way to help troubleshoot this issue.

What are the 3 cars? Perhaps some of us have them and can check them out on a different system. If we all have problems, it may be best to just discard those 3 cars.
