Building a New Activity for Your Route so You can Explore it:

This is just 3 Simple steps so you can Explore Your own Route. (Not creating Paths and adding Traffic, Signals, etc...)

After You create your Route, or modify it, you will need to Create an Actitivy just so you can Explore your route and test it. I allways found this difficult, and most of the time my new Route would not show in MSTS or I got Errors. Thats till I got the Statagy Guide for MSTS. Here is all that need to be done so you can Explore your Route:

Step 1: 1st Steps

Start the Activity Editor

Goto File menu and select New

You will be prompted for a Route (Select your Route)

Choose a name for your Activity

Step 2: Set Variables

Creat a Display name

Choose level of difficulty

Edit Duration ( I just set for 1hr)

Edit Activity Description (this is Mandatory, just type test)

Edit Activity Breifing (this is also Mandatory, just type test)

Step 3: Choosing or Creating the Player Service

Choose an existing service or creat a new one. (click on new)

fill in the name and display name boxes

pick or creat a Consist

click New for Path. Fill in the names of the next 2 boxes that pop up.

then fill in the starting and ending location (I just use A and B, this will show in the Game that way!)

Then Right click on Map and Place Start Location (preferably at one end or the other of your Route)

Then click Leave Path Editor, Click Save when asked.

Save the Activity

You can now Explore Your Route

Adding or Making Your Own Consist:

Open the Activity Editor and click File New, Select a route, then hit OK on New Activity (your not gona save it). then in the lower right hit the New button.

Type any name you want in the next 2 boxes that pop up, then hit the EDIT button to get this to show:

Then you’ll get this

Then Save and Exit, and you can now pick your consist from the menu in the game.
