CVL Panel not working correctly

Post by Cobra_Railways »

When I try to change my trains codes and set up the the DRIMs it wont work, I am trying it on all maps and still wont work. I am entering the correct things which are: f10002 (my trains original code) 5879BV (what I want it to be) MPB (for molenwijk - noorderpoort - panbos) on the M1. If I am doing anything wrong can someone please tell me as I am starting to get annoyed with it.

If you're in explore mode, the DRIMs won't show a schedule. They work properly only in an activity.

"MPB" is not a valid code for the simulator. It does not recognise that, so it won't do anything with it. The code to change a train number is "TWZ".
So, you should type this in order to change the train number from F10002 to 5879BV:

F10002 5879BV TWZ

The DRIMs will show your destination based on the last letter of the train number, IF a CTD file is loaded into the CVL (manually in explore mode, or in activities).

The main CVL-codes you need to know are TWZ (for changing a train number, as explaned above) and RWI (for setting a path).

That's not possible. It requires scripting via activities. Also, Sjoerd isn't the main developer, so it's not really under his authorization to do such a task. So if you want the DRIMs to show a schedule, create your own activity.

Just load a CTD file in explore mode. The DRIMs won't show departuretimes as you are not running with a timetable, but they will show your destination based on the train number.
Go to the top of the screen -> Control -> Load data -> select the CTD file belonging to the map you are on.
