Metro North Prob on ORTS

[CBF]

Hi! My installation of ORTS will run Metro North/New York Bound Acela Express, but not /Northbound Regional, even after A1t0_2mStrt.s & .sd files have been installed. On loading, an error window appears indication there is something wrong with a signal file., and the Route ,Activity will not load. No report is generated to the Log File. Also, when I tried to run RoutRiter to see if this utility would correct the problem, I could not find Metro North New Haven Line in the Route Directory. Train Store and MSTS all run properly, the problem being when I try to run ORTS. Any suggestions? Cheers; Chuck F.

Ive been running the metro north on ORTS all the time and I get no error messages. Same thing with the M2's, no problems at all.

Hi, Guys ! Thanks for the info and tips. Got RR runing and it corrected some .env files, but I'm left with the same ORTS error message:-

Anyone know what need to be done to correct this? Cheers; Chuck F.

Hello,

the most common cause for problems like this is missing track shape details in tsection.dat. My suggestion would be to make sure you are using the correct GLOBAL data for this route, and that it is complete.

I was going to start a new thread, but as my problem is also the Metro north here is my logfile. It runs in MSTS with graphics problems which I have reported in a different thread.

Hello,
there have been recent changes to that part of the code.
Could you please check how things go with the new test release version which will be generated this weekend?

Thank you,
Rob Roeterdink

Thanks. MetroNorth now runs in OR. Version 1492. On a different note, the smoke emissions on diesels now would make an Alco proud.
