System.NullReferenceException at ORTS.MSTSLocomotive.GetDataOf (X.1670, BR Class127 dmu cabview fail)

[Mike]

Using the BR Class 127 DMU supplied with the UKTS freeware route Thames - Trent route.
Every time i try to enter cabview mode camera 1
The game crashes to the OR menu screen.
It is my own test activity and it will run as long as i use external camera views only.

OR version is, $Revision: 1670 $

Well if not being able to drive in cab is only undecided to medium importance.

This is the last bug report i will be bothering to make.

Bit like the Distant Semaphore signals, that still do not work properly.

Or the non use of SE with UK Finescale track.

If your focus is only aimed at US operation, at least have the decency to say so.

Well, there is definitely something wrong with the ENG file - there is a GEAR cabview controller and the gearbox definition is missing some settings so the data cannot be displayed.

Can you please provide the gearbox definition from the ENG file? Now I'm committing a bug fix that will avoid the crash but your locomotive will not be recognized as a gearbox-equipped. I need to see the most code-saving definition of the gearbox to learn what data are sufficient for MSTS...

And please understand that if you are not able to drive one locomotive, it is not that bad like if you cannot drive any locomotive. That is why it is classified as "Medium" ("undecided" is the default value for every bug report).

And finally - many developers are from Europe in ORTS team, but it is volunteer-based project and many of us working in their free or familly time. Any bug fixing needs time depending on our free time...

The crash bug is fixed in v1672.

Additional gearbox data required to handle MSTS minimal configuration correctly...
