2014 Building your consist

[BNSF650]

I am having same issue. The Consist Builder screen shows a completion bar moving across as the CB function files appear to be loading. I get to 18% complete and Bam - I get dumped back to desktop with an error window popup that says Railworks.exe must close. I am in the process of installing Win 7 64bit OS upgrade onto my old Win XP 32bit OS machine. Maybe we are dealing with a RAM limitation issue. I know I was getting a lot of SBHH with 3rd-Party scenarios that used to run perfectly fine in TS2013 before. Maybe 8GB of RAM under a 64bit OS will do the trick.

i have the same issue, every time it hits 47% it crashes. RSC says its due to third party dlc but I think that's them just saying they haven't figured it out yet.

[PapaXpress]

No, it could be because of third party DLC. Has anyone been successful using just RSC DLC content?

[BNSF650]

Yea i still cant get this feature to work..

Has anyone been successful using just RSC DLC content?

I have built and tested a consist with the P42DC and the SL cars from the F40PH. I have also built and tested a consist of NERW equipment.

I tried this out last night, was able to build trains with both Railwork's DLC & Repaints from here. Haven't tried it with anything else as yet. Good feature even though it took a few minutes to load.

I agree with the others that it is a nice feature.

Check your freeware rolling stock for missing dependencies first, since the Kuju folders got swiped and repacked during the update process.
Many repaints depend on certain Kuju assets being in the right place.

RW_Tools has been updated in the meantime, but is still a WIP because of the recent changes in asset locations. Perhaps it already can help you in finding rolling stock with missing dependencies.

Hi Folks

Just wanted to chip in here and say that this is definitely down to an error in one of your blueprints.

Enable LogMate (i'm sure there are instructions around here to do it!) and then look to see what the last thing it was doing was before it crashed - you'll most likely find it's working through one of your asset folders. Clean that folder out (move files to somewhere else) and re-test. Once you've got a working system, start dropping assets in one at a time until it breaks again and then, is possible, send us the file that breaks it so we can find out why - alternatively let us know what it is and where you got it from so we can source it ourselves if it is commercial content.

I resolved a couple of folks problems last weekend by doing this and can confirm it is the cause of this issue.

I just finished my upgrade to Windows 7 64bit. What a difference it makes with the access to Consist Builder. Before I was failing to even load the Consist Builder under Windows XP. I would be a CDT at 18% loaded.

Low and Behold, I just discovered Consist Builder has an asset viewer that allows me see my whole collection of assets. The viewer lets me to see a railvehicle from a scrollable list and to revolve them around to view all sides. Neat!

I wish that there was an option to brighten the view graphic. The view appears to show the railvehicle at night time with a full moon above and behind reflecting off the top surfaces.

Looks great, but where do I even find the Consist Builder ? I think I have looked at every single menu and no sign of it?
