Making a route quick drivable

[artimrj]

Is this possible? I could have sworn I saw something somewhere where someone made a tutorial on how to make your route quick drivable. The TS2014 upgrade messed up a few things on the NERW route, mostly lights and I was thinking about using the new RCAP stuff in a few places to freshen it up. So I may as well try to make it quick drivable. I may even extend it on the west end some.

I just made one for my route, but so far its not showing up. I suspect that I need to do one more thing, say add it to a consist in its routes section.

Once you figure it out, would appreciate some tutelage.

I have a great tutorial for it as well as some extras to helpI will send you what I have and you can play with it if you would like. It is what I used for seeburgbahn and berlin to wittenberg. Just tell me how to get it all to you

I've used this method to make a bunch of quick drive sessions in past....

Mine makes the route QD not the consist but use the one you want

I want to make the NERW quick drivable and then make QD consist/scenarios whatever they are.

I'm interested to put it in the web site tutorials if you agree.

I will send you the files but it is not mine to grant permission you will see in the file whose it is. I just made some other templates to accompany it. PM me your email and I will send it to you and you can do with it what you can.

Did you ever get around to trying the method here:

I have to wait in line to download a guide!!!!!!!

Once I figure this out on my own I will publish it on my blog.... no waiting needed.

I thought I seen it somewhere

Got a copy of the document? Can you put in the files section? I might try doing the C&P with quickdrive too. But then, do engines have to be modified to make them quickdrive? The only steam engines I see as available for quickdrive on my system are European and the Northern.

[artimrj]

I don't think so Gary, it is all to do with the scenarios and some route editing. The placement of a special invisible marker. I will email it to you.

Following the instructions in that guide (thanks!) I got the Cimarron & Pacific to do quickdrive. However, still only have the one North American steam engine available - the Northern. None of the Britkits or other steam engines are availeble.

Turns out that creating a quickdrive scenario is now an option in 'create new scenario' in TS2014, so that part was easy. The guide was essential for creating the route metafiles however.

Now to figure out how to make more engines available.

[later] Looks like the consist editor is the place to start for using other engines. Maybe. It crashes for me, for example if I choose like the Britkits 0-6-0.
