Mulitple pickup point code segments can be included in each W file thus defined. These files are grouped within the OpenRails folder within the W folder. These types of code segments are included in a file named the same as the file in which they will replace the default code in, ie w+xxxxxx+yyyyyyy.w. (+ve for loading point, -ve for unlaoding point). PickupCapacity ( x y ) - sets the capacity of the pickup point.y = "never runs out", 0 = capacity specified in dialog box, 1 = infinite x = load type, a number from the above table. PickupType ( x y ) - sets the pickup type.SpeedRange ( x y ) - sets the speed range for the train when using the pickup point.UiD ( x ) - must match the pickup point that is being overwritten by this code segment.SpeedRange ( 0 2 ) Comment ( Freight - Fuel Loading Point ) There is also a risk when editing the file in MSTS that they could default to a different load type, so it is suggested that an INCLUDE file is used to overwrite the relevant code in the W ( INCLUDE File to Overwrite Default MSTS codeĪs some of the above load types are not defined in MSTS, when using MSTS RE it is not possible to select any of the load types with a value greater then 7, instead they need to be manually edited in the W file. For example, the second number in the PickupCapacity ( 200000 2000 ) parameter is the fill rate, by setting it to a negative value, the "pickup point" will be recognised as an unloading point. This number can either be edited using the MSTS Route Editor, or alternatively using a text editor in the relvant world file. To distinguish between a loading or unloading point it is necessary to set the Fill Rate value as positive for a loading point, and negative for an unloading point. The pickup point's type is defined in world files using the parameter PickupType ( 6 1 ), where the first number in the brackets relates to the type number as defined in the list above. To implement a pickup point use the RE to insert a pickup point, if the load type is not one of the standard load types, then the W file can be edit with a text editor, or alternatively a standard default point can be inserted, and then overwritten with an INC file as described in the section below. Pickup points can be animated so that they move into position to fill the wagon or locomotive. Special - Mail (Type = 14) (NB - This is not an option in MSTS).Freight - Milk (Type = 13) (NB - This is not an option in MSTS).
Open Rails currently supports the following pickup points for loading/unloading and refueling: Top Pickup Points for Loads and Refueling The structure of these files for each feature will be described in more detail below, and a working example of these files can be found in the Coals to Newcastle test route. These files are created and stored in a sub-folder placed directly under the root folder of the route. Instead an 'include' file is created with the data to be read by Open Rails. However making changes directly to these files may be overrriden by MSTS when editing the route in MSTS Routre Editor (RE), or alternatively it may cause instability issues with MSTS, so a method to include the information has been devised that doesn't require the direct editing of these two files directly. To implement these features additional information needs to be inserted into various files as described in the relevant section. The following features are described here:

In some instances the features will also require parameters to be set in the ENG or WAG files to ensure full functionality of the feature or function. The features described on this page are those elements that are implemented or activated as part of the route design or specification. To enhance its realism and performance a number of new features and functions have been added to Open Rails.
