    "Unknown" locomotive preventing Activity starting

    One of my locos - the E-7 "Little Joe" - is not recognised by OR and a message pops up saying that it is unknown. The Activity is prevented from starting in OR (but starts okay in MSTS).

    What do I need to add/change in the .ENG file to have this loco recognised by OR?

    Thanks,

    I had loads of them and can't remember how I made them work in ORTS.

    Do a search for UNKNOWN and OTTODAD and you should find the solution.

      Found your mention of RouteRiter in a thread back in 2005.

      I'll try that.

        Please try switching to the original windows menu from the fancy menu. You can use the switch menu button. The switch in menus should rectify the problem.

          Thanks, Chris.
          I'll try that first.
