I noticed a problem with the BLW E7's (PRR, PC, NYC) on my system which causes Menu.exe to lock up whenever a consist containing them appears in the Consist drop down menu. I tracked it down to a problem with the .eng file(s) as substituting a .eng file from one of their E8's makes the units work without a problem. I get the lockup in 1694 and 1690 but not in 1680. I'm not sure what the particular issue is with the .eng files and I'm not sure if it's just my system experiencing this or not. Can anyone else duplictae this problem?

I would be interested to know if this is widespread. I'm currently no where near my MSTS/OR computer (geographically), so I can't verify it myself.

Thanks,

Rick

Please use X.1699 or later, where this bug is (probably) fixed.
