Want to try OR, but don't have MSTS .........

[steamer_ctn]

If you are interested in trying OR, but don't have MSTS installed on your computer, then try the Burrinjuck Railway. This route will run without MSTS installed on your computer.

The rolling stock built especially for the route, by Capt Bazza, is extremely detailed and exceeds the capabilities of MSTS. This was done to showcase the possibilities of extending model building to new levels with OR.

Full OR install instructions are at:

I think Xtracks and Newroads are still needed.

I live less than 70 km from Burrinjuck so can check out any missing content for you, Otto.

Hi Otto,

Thanks for the feedback. I am glad that you found the time to download it.

In regard to some of your questions:

i) Screenshots - did you see the screenshots on the web site? Was this what you meant?

ii) Install folder - The install instructions provided a recommendation for a folder name that could be used, but you can name the folder anything you want. The install instructions then recommended that users copy and paste the folder name into each installer as they run them. This is because most of the installers are set up for MSTS (via the registry), and you need to "override" the default install folder - refer to Steps 3-4 of install instructions

iii) TSECTION File - Did you install Xtracks and Xroads? OR requires these to run this route. - refer to step 9 & 10

iv) Consist problem - I am unable to comment on this without further info. Does the file exist at the path indicated, it should have be loaded when the locomotive was installed. How did you attempt to run the route? Explore mode or through the default activity?

Cheers

Peter

Otto, try installing Xtracks and Newroads to your new blank "H:\TEMP\Train Simulator" too. These packages are not part of MSTS, but are prerequisites of almost all routes. So in fact you cannot start with a blank Train Simulator folder, rather you should start with a folder XTracks and Newroads were already installed into.

Oh, I'm sorry, a didn't read it carefully enough.

Did not notice the Screenshots tab and if I had viewed them would not have bothered downloading the route.

I am not interested in mostly single track or narrow gauge routes.

Which helps to reinforce the common-sense idea of reading information before pressing the button.

For those who are a little more Windows challenged... after creating the top level folder for ORTS, you can run the following batch file to create the necessary folder structure... (it's uploaded as a TXT file due to forum upload restrictions -- rename to .BAT)

[conductorchris]

If you have trouble running a bat file (since .bat files are a total pain in windows 7), you can copy the contents of the text file into the command line after changing your directory appropriately. [Requires a bit of DOS finesse]

I am using masses of BATCH files in WIN-7, in my DB-TRACKS-ROUTES and MSTSBin Track Changers and all my STEAM TS-2012 and TS-2013 launchers run them to delete PAK files first before loading Railworks.

That is with UAC turned off, the WIN-7 computer not being able to connect to the Internet.

Otherwise most of them may have to be run as ADMINISTRATOR unless the folders they are in have been set to allow to RUN ALL.
