I have Bob examining my DB for the same thing; “No Cars Found”. He’s found a couple of bugs, and a couple of times I’ve had the program crash on me, but he seems to have fixed that.
All my cars are in 2 locations but the trains aren’t finding them.
Here’s Bob’s response:
"Hey Ken
I’m working on crashes now (and seems to be working, since you dont
crash anymore), then next up will be a better ‘no cars found’, to
explain exactly WHY you arent finding cars. That should be ready in a
week or so.
Mine:
Thanx, Bob…
They all seem to be on these 2 sidings for some
reason(Delores and Hesperus)…whether that helps you out any.
I also changed all the cars from “foreign road” to home
road…didn’t seem to help any.
Bob’s:
Yea, interesting. There’s some bug in here somewhere that doesnt grab
cars, it thinks they’re not available, or waiting for pickup by another
train, or something… Definitely odd. Bruce sees it too, sometimes,
but not as much as you do. "
I’ve tried all kinds of different configurations, different “off-layout” times, different percentages, which I’ve seemed to have fixed as it’s not showing a high siding usage anymore, different routeings, shortening or lengthening the time in the siding to load/offload.
I thought by adding the 3 new sidings it would help with the car sorting or shuffling, but then it was only moving one car around.
