Running Some test

I found out that the Planet Engine has lost it's driver and tender and wont pick up railcars. The Dorchester works right.

That doesn't make sense since the Planet is coming from the defaults in the game. I am going to look into it and see what's going on.

In all my attempts at Birth of a Nation I never used the Planet so I can't comment on this, but I will check it out if you need the help.

I also found that using the firefly engine causes the game to crash.

The problem with the Planet is that I must have copied the dorchester tender file over top of it, so it is an easy fix; Planet Tender.car file needs to be replaced. Either you can just copy it from another RT3 installation, or I will include it in a patch.

I'm not having any problems with the firefly. Can you be more specific?

When I pick the firefly engine in the game, the game crashes. I did this 3 times in a row.

[nedfumpkin]

That shouldn't be happening. This usually means that one of the 3dp files is missing. Since the Firefly is a RT3 locomotive, TM shouldn't be affecting it.

Take a look in the EngineTypes folder, there should be three Firefly files, two ending in car and one ending in lco. They should be dated 2003.

I took another look. I said the wrong engine. it was the Fairlie 0660. I looked and there was 2 files for that engine, a .CAR file and a LCO file.

[nedfumpkin]

The Fairlie is crashing for me too. I can't figure out why because it's not something I did anything to. Weird.
