First of all, which menu are you using? I'd guess it is the "old" menu with normal Windows-style buttons and lists, rather than the fancier, more colourful "new" menu.

Yes, it is the old menu.

How long have you waited when the consist list shows up empty? It may not be obvious, but the lists load in the background and only appear when complete (I didn't have time to add a loading indicator unfortunately). I've seen this occasionally take a long time, quite a number of seconds, though it is usually pretty fast.

Upon reading your post I started OR with the internet programs still running - Firefox browser, Fire-Wall and Anti-Virus software. And to my surprise, the consists showed up on the first try and I was able to load the route into the sim and drive it !

A few more tries and I think I narrowed the problem down to the Anti-Virus software: Normally I deactivate it before playing. But whenever it is deactivated, the consists will not load ! When I turn Anti-Virus monitoring on again and restart OR, they show up instantly ! This behavior is unique though to the Wallachia route, as it seems - my other MSTS installations and routes seem to be unaffected by this, they show the consists both ways, with AntiVirus activated as well as deactivated.

I have no explanation for that ! I must add that I moved the consists of the MSTS installation which contains the Wallachia route today, i.e. the computer has been running all the time, and there was no shutdown in between, whereas I left all the other installations and their consists untouched today. Maybe that's got something to do with it.

Anyway, I guess as a rule I will leave the Anti-Virus software enabled from now on, whenever I use OR. I used to deactivate it cause I thought it might save a little CPU time and otherwise interfere with OR, but the opposite seems to be the case. Makes no sense to me, but it looks like that anyway.

Probably a unique problem to my system setup.

I recently get a strange error with one of my MSTS installations/routes, namely the Wallachia route from www.blackrail.ro (Freeware, you can download it there).

On startup, OR does not recognize any consists, no matter whether MSTS-original consists like the Dash 9 or route-specific third party consists. When I chose the route in the menu and click on explore, I can select allt he details, but no consists are shown !

I'm wondering if your problem with this route relates to how OR loads the menu information. See this post for exact details: https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showth...45#post1670045
