Does anybody have problem with missing freight cars (refrigator, car transporter and tanker (1950)) in DBSetXL. I have default configuration of ttdpatch and only one row "dbsetxlw.grf" in newgrfw.cfg. Also dos version doesn't work for me.

Also, did you download the latest update of the DBsetXL? There was a known bug with one goods wagon not showing up at all. Next to that I somehow doubt if these cars were included in the DBsetXL.

Here's that save game you asked for...

Using patch alpha 15a and DBSetXL 0.61 (modified to fix Gondola refit problem)

Hope you get this fixed soon :)

Cheers

Thanks, i have solved my problem. I don't know why, but there must be cargoset before dbsetxl in the newgrf.cfg (?? all freight cars should be now in dbsetxl, so why cargoset - maybe some sort of bug in the dbsetxl ??).

no, DBSetXL is using whole space for trains and waggons so there is no space for cargoset

I know that. So why I have to have cargoset in the newgrf.cfg?

Because the DBset uses SOME, but not all, of the space the cargoset uses. If you put them in the right order, the cargoset will fill the remaining slots, and you'll get the proper combination.

Ids 2F,2E,34 are included in dbsetxl. But if I don't have cargoset in newgrf.cfg, they are not in newly created game. I think it is strange and it could be bug.

No, if you very carefully read the readme, I think that's the way it's supposed to work. Whether it's convenient or not is a different issue, but it is documented correctly.

And can we move this to the "Problems" thread?

It doesn't have to be, but if you want to load it for the road vehicles it provides, it must be before the dbsetxl.
