Trains Of Europe - Help with coding
Posted: 07 Apr 2011 10:12
Hi
I'm currently working on a massive new set, which builds on my old Generic European Set. I have coded four new railtypes, each representing a different voltage system used in Europe:
1500V DC (DC15)
3000V DC (DC30)
15KV AC (ELAC)
25KV AC (ELRL) - regular electric rail; default electrics run on this
This is working fine so far - until I tried to code a multi-system locomotive.
doesn't seem to work; the engine stubbornly keeps going on unelectrified tracks.
I then tried several other things, the one that seemed to work best out of them was creating another railtype that was compatible with all four electrified tracktypes. However, it clutters up the railtypes menu, and it doesn't appear to be possible for a locomotive to run on only ELAC and ELRL, but not the DC ones, for example.
Here is the code for the railtypes:
And the multi system locomotive:
Does anyone have any advice on this? I would appreciate some help. If it's not possible at all, then consider it a feature request 
Thanks,
Jake
