Trains not being picked up by SL-MOD

Various train assets are not being picked upy by SL-MOD. Here is evidence from the DCS log, with SL-MOD errors:

Trains are in a weird state as far as the scripting engine is concerned. There might be special exceptions I need to specify in order for slmod to know how to categorize them. I will look into it.

thanks for the reply. SL-MOD has been critically importand for SoW. We really appreciate your work on it.

Looks like a fix is possible but I don't think it'll be as simple as I may have initially thought. Basically slmod uses a database of all units to get information about that unit when populating stats. Trains aren't normal units where each and every car in it has a unitName, unitId, etc. As a result trains aren't in the database. It should be possible to use what is in the events to pass that data to the stats code for it to use.

Scenery trains would still be a problem and wouldn't be able to be tracked separately.
