Short answer: No. I have several empty consists on my test track and they do not cause SBHH

While I completely agree with your statements, I want redirect you a bit. The petition is not about fixing the problems which cause SBHH, but to fix the message SBHH, so that we know what "happened". This is what exception handling is all about. Applications/Code _will_ fail, and it needs to be handled properly. If that means telling the user "Hey! We found a corrupt model on your route, here is what we know about it: ..." then I am all for it.

Papa, that's kind of what I said about RSC giving us a "SBHH 0X000000034" kind of failure code and then a chart of what that could be caused by. I still think they don't even know what causes a lot of these errors.

Do you mean the "loose consists"? No problem with them (at least in theory !*roll-laugh*! ), they are vehicles not attached to AI trains, or even engines not assigned as AI trains.

They could follow what Microshaft is doing with Windows 8. Instead of the Blue Screen O' Death, you get this pretty message with a frownie-face emoticon that says "You just got screwed, but BSOD's are so 1994, so we made you this frownie in hopes you will find a little humor in the situation (even though you just lost everything you've been working on for the last five hours."

BTW, isn't Log Mate supposed to do a little of what we are hoping the SBHH will eventually do? All i've ever seen it do is spit out gibberish.

With RW3 I noticed that some of the gibberish started to make some sense. ... Or I could be losing it.
