The loose consist list can be changed into:
[consist id]: "Display Name".


I'm not understanding.
It's not obvious, at least to me, how that is done...are you saying it is a user adjustment? Where is that accomplished?
I looked in the program folder for a loose consist list, nothing there. Also nothing in the settings.txt referring to loose consists.
I still think the default entry for loose consists in the "Display Name" box should be the ID number found in the act file.
Using "loose consist" in the Display Name box is redundant, you already know it is a loose consist!

Thanks, already saw that was added. Now I'm working with both AE and CE trying to teach myself how they work.
Brilliant work, Goku.
Saw the manual link. I'm reading it now...good stuff. Double Thank You. Pictures, http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/cool3.gif

posted this under the RE thread, copied it here.

Might this be possible with the new AE...
Having an option to auto insert the ORTSContinue line into any type of EventCategory that has a DisplayMessage. User chooses time delay - couldn't be too long, I never use anything over 15 seconds.
AE would insert the line immediately before last bracket.

Hope you get the monitor fixed, or a new one that works for you. Best Regards and Thank You, Gerry

You can easily enable this option in event properties.

I have a feature request. I just went through and changed some consists last night. It was tedious because I had to click each car and delete it, then replace it. Having gone through that, I have a couple of features to request.

1. I would like to be able to hold down the ctrl key and choose multiple eng/wag files.

2. I would like to request a replace button so that if you have a lot of rolling stock (like I do) to switch out from the default MSTS stuff, you can do with without tediously clicking each and every wagon to change it.

Now you have replace functions:

0.6953

- new Replace menu. Now you can replace units in consists easily. Just select consist unit, then find new unit in ENG list and use one of the replace functions.
