ok realistic drivers is a mod go serch it up and get it its super usefull

@connoraltoncook - I don't even know what 'realistic drivers' is. If you're running with traffic density, make sure the load order is right

i do a game with realistic drivers and this mod and realistic traffic dentisy i disable realistic drivers still crashes just realistic density no crash it has to be this

@connoraltoncook - you're gonna need to elaborate further. How do you know its my mod doing this? The mod works fine for me, so you could have conflicting mods or your mods may not be in the correct load order (shown above).

its crashing my game PLEASE FIX

ok i got the mod back and the first train i saw was an sd40-2 and it seemed to have been longer than normal so it looks like its working this time, knock on wood

no problom, ill get the mod back and let it do its thing

@MoonBean - the chances of getting a long train are entirely up to the game. My mod does not specifically mess with the spawning, it only adds a config of realistic train configurations (manifest, coal, grainers, etc) for the game to choose from. I do not have odds, nor do I have a way to "raise" the chances. As I stated, the mod works fine for me and I see long and short trains about equally. As for adding custom models, I have stated that this is something I have no intention on doing. I do not know how to model, nor how to import models into this game as custom AI traffic. I also want this mod to be as simple so as to not make much conflict with other mods, hence why this is structured almost exactly like how the vanilla game handles trains, only with some edits and additions. You're welcome to learn yourself, I wont stop you - but yeah no. I'm not doing that, sorry

inthooseist. Damn, dude.

but if you dont want or dont no how to make scrach mods ill try to learn to make the mod for the mow equipment myself

if i were you id rais the chances of getting long trains because im a train inthooseist and id love to see long trains, i also have an idea for you to make to, if you know how to scrach create mods you should make mow equipment that has a rare chance of driving down the tracks, i think that be cool if your down for it, id 100% download that

what are the chances of getting a long train?

Yeah, I havent experienced any issues myself with the mod either. You might have conflicting mods, or you may not have the right load order, etc. Short trains do exist in the mod as well so you may just be getting violently unlucky with the spawning, though 15 trains in a row with no long ones is oddly suspicious I will say.

@MoonBean
Have you enabled the mods in game? That's all I can think of. It was working perfectly well for me last time I played.

i dont understand i have all the mods it told me to get inorder for the mod to work corectly and so far nothing has changed, iv seen like 15 trains pass and none of them have changed at all, im a little frustraited because now i have this mod that doesnt even do anything so if anyone knows why im having trobole do you mind telling me pleas

@fedgit - Probably? if that mod changes train textures then I assume this one would conflict with it, but I wouldn't know as I stopped using real company mods a loooong time ago

does this mod conflict with real company mods that change box cars/containers to have real companies on them?

I had this mod under sound fixes for months not knowing why it wasnt working and confused and then I re read this and realised why it didnt work. I put it over sound fixes and it works now. Thanks!

@RainyGosling0 - do you maybe have conflicting mods? its working fine for me as well.

@RainyGosling0
Are you sure it's this? Working fine for me.

causing game to crash

@DeltaTango529 - ultimately its something I would like, as being an avid railfan myself too, one-unit-wonder for all trains is a little odd. I am just not really sure how to go about it, especially with the the way the trains are setup ingame. Maybe one day, but for now I am not sure. Appreciate your kind words though, glad this mod is working out well. :)

As a railfan on the side, I have really enjoyed this mod - thanks for your continued work.
Have you considered having 2 locomotives at the head end of most trains, as that is more typical in the U.S.? Perhaps the fundamental game structure doesn't allow that.
Either way, thanks again!

Aye mate! Always a pleasure to chat with you! First of all, that's fantastic to hear! The mod working as intended should always be priority one! Super stoked to see what else you can add onto it to make it even better! I'll keep my hopes up for DPU's making an appearance some day! xP

I do hope finding a work around for those alternative liveries won't be too much of a headache for ya whenever you sit down to do it! Keep up the phenomenal work! ^^

OH! And thank you SO for adding me to the special thanks list!
Always a pleasure to help out!! <3 <3

@Jerry521 - Good to see you again! Glad the update is working for the most part. As for the liveries, I ended up just axe-ing those for now because 1.53 broke the textures and left hideous pink squares all over the trains that I couldn't figure out how to fix. I plan to add them into a separate mod eventually, but right now I feel its best if I polish this mod first.

Hey FE! Thanks for getting an update out for this amazing mod!!

Everything works like a charm, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting the AC44 & SD40 to spawn in with the more 'realistic' liveries, I took out all my mods besides this one to see if there could be a conflict somehow, but to no avail :C

@miker107 - thank you so much! I'm glad people like my work, and moreso that its made your experience more enjoyable. Appreciate the kind words, take care too :)

@DreezyMoto - this mod modifies the traffic rules spawn file, that could be your issue. It might be overritting what traffic density does. Ill look into making a separate version without this file (though a lot of the core features would be missing) but for now its kinda one or the other. My apologies.

@Utonian - yeah lol, thats how the game words it. Ill update the description to say that, thanks.

Is "4 for UT railrunner" referring to the FrontRunner??

I don't like sitting waiting for trains in real life, but I have to say this mod has made the game more immersive and enjoyable. The default trains in the game I find to be bland and boring, however, the added variety of cars look fantastic, and I don't mind sitting and watching them go by. Excellent work on this mod, Thanks for creating it. I have ignored this mod since I started ATS 7 months ago, but glad I finally took the plunge. Take care of yourself my friend.

@DreezyMoto
Try unsubscribing and resubscribing to force Steam to download the update, that:
"-updated traffic rules spawn file, should fix crashing"

not sure if its an incompatibility or just this mod, but having this mod enabled crashed my game on load.
Here's my Mod List:
Realistic Brutal Graphics and Weather
Real Life Fuel Prices
Realistic Truck Physics Mod
Sineptorros Cargo pack
Interior Cabin Lights
GPS/PC
Goggle Navigation
Engine Sound Pack

Thanks for the update, Femboy Enthusiast

updates out! sorry that took so long. Please report any issues and I will try and fix them in the future on a more, faster note.

@Dragon32 - thank you very much. Really do appreciate all the kind words.

on a more general community note, Ive gotten a splash of motivation to work on the mod. Ill see if I can iron out some of the issues before I leave for this weekend friday night. Ill try to update this before friday night, but if not, expect something next week if all goes to plan.

@Femboy Enthusiast
Keep on hanging in there. Creating mods is supposed to be enjoyable, if it isn't go and find that where you can. And I hope you can.

@satan.ipod @KiingBranden - thank you both!

@danoporto7 - unsure. I dont use that mod as Im personally not a fan of it. I dont thiiiink there should be conflicts? But if there is, there's not a whole lot I can do. Sorry

Does it make any conflicts with the realistic companies gas stations and billboards mod?
I seen it changes the textures too.

agreed with KiingBranden. Your not alone with this. Take care

Hey stranger, your mental health is what's important. We understand, you're more important then some train mod. Hope you feel better soon, and can find in your heart what makes you happy again. Love your mod, but we wouldn't have it w/o you. God bless

Hello - should give an update here. Apologies that this mod isn't working right now :( Currently trying to find the time and motivation to fix it, but life and my mental health have both taken a nose dive for me so Its hard to do so. Ill try and figure something out this week, my sincerest apologies to you all.

So sad..Dont work anymore with real traffic Density. I try all the combinaison possible and the only way to avoid crash is to remove train length. Hope you find a way to use both. Those two mod are the best best for realism on my opinion.

Not using this mod at the moment. Real Traffic Density won't load with this since the latest 1.55 hotfix. Just FYI.

I'm definitely seeing some texture errors and some red text however none of it is game breaking. Just something to take a look at when you're free @Femboy Enthusiast. (I have the correct mods/ load order as well)

I can supply some log.txt when i'm free but there definitely some NON game breaking issues. So urgency isn't high for updating.

Thanks for reading Femboy!

@dustinking875 - can you tell me what the gamelog/crashreport/console errors say? I just tested this mod, and its working fine for me. First train I saw was a long one. Ill take a look through the mod and see if I can find anything though.

Well due to the recent update 1.55.2.2s this mod no longer works train lengths have return to ATS default length and the game won't load with the mod active it causes it to crash.

@FindFloppies - what do said errors say?

Getting some errors in the console, and over time will build to a crash. Unloaded this mod, and it all stopped. Just FYI. (1.55)
