Loco Maintenance in English Edition of Pro X.3

[Adrian L]

I am not sure if my problem is the result of an upgrade of version 9.2 to Pro X.3, but most of my locomotives seem to require maintenance.

The upgrade has also set the maintenance interval to 600 hours, where it was previously 10 hours.  Even at 600 hours a 1 hour locomotive has the flashing oil can and the yellow background in the locomotive tool bar in the main window..

Another issue is that if you select a locomotive that has a yellow image background to be driven manually which sets the background to red, the yellow maintenance background does not return after you finish driving the loco manually. The attached file back.jpg shows the sequence of the problem. Has this behaviour been seen in the German version too?

Hi Adrian,
in the new wdp-versions  the timer for maintenance of locos will bet set in minutes, and the default is 600 minutes=10 hours.

Thanks for the information Bernd.  So that means another change in the text for that window in the English edition as it still stays Maintenance interval (hours)..  The attached file hours.jpg shows where this text is on the window and a very minor typo that I think should be database and not data base...

Hi Adrian,
as an attachment to this message there is a similar screenshot of the loco database -> maintenance section in the german version.

Thanks for the screen shot Bernd it has cleared up the problem for me.. I have reset all of the times to minutes and Markus can now change the (hours) text to (minutes)..

We also need to change the text on page 136 of the manual from:
Maintenance Rate
Here, you can also adjust the maintenance interval; the range is
between 1 hour up to 100 hours.

Thanks again from Australia
