trains won't load
trains won't load
Recently d/l'd Simu_Full.zip (files dated 30 July 2003) and, while it runs quite well on my system, I have one major problem: the trains won't load!. Trucks and busses function normally, and I've had no such problems in older versions of Simutrans. I can set up a simple line - haul coal from the mine to a power station - set a schedule and the train will go to the coal mine station and just sit there; the coal mine shows full capacity but nothing shows in the station nor in the train.
Attached is a screenshot of one such incidence with, hopefullym all pertinent windows open. What am i doing wrong?

I tried that for a route hauling oil to a power plant, added the oil storage tank to the platform but still nothing showed on the platform and still the trains won't load. I'll try again with a different station and see what happens.prissi wrote:In new pak128, the simple plattform accepts nothing. You need to extend it with an extension building that enables frei or use a station that enable freight. This are indicated by the sand piles in the menu.
Actually it was your other suggestion - make certain both loading and receiving stations had the proper "attachments"; added an oil storage tank to the receiving station and it worked. Thanks.prissi wrote:If there is no connection, i.e. no train defined, then the cargo will find no route and will not be loaded. Define a train and give it a schedule and then oil will be loaded until the power station overflows.
BTW, what's the purpose of the "coal station"? a plain platform with attached bulk storage seems to work just as well.
