Load Error

[Claude350]

How can I get ORTS to stop loading routes in the Menu that are stored by Train Store and note being used? I get a load error message. Thanks in advance. I'm using the latest version .1771 from the SVN site.

I think you have to unstore the activity before OR will run it. Not sure about explore mode but it's likely looking for path or other files that are stored.

The routes that are shownare routes that are stored and not being used. These routes should not be shown if not being used. I think this is a bug with the latest version as previous versions did not do this. the latest version also doesnot display throttle settings. A bug ticket has been submitted for 1771. Let me add that the throttle display issue, the train and engine brakes not working occurs when I'm using my rail driver with the latest release which is now 1774. no problems before the release of .1771.

More importantly, why use trainstore with OR? OR has non of the consist limitations of MSTS and as such doesn't require such nonsense as the storing of routes!

You can safely leave all your routes unstored when running OR -- it only loads and checks the route you select to run.

MSTS loads and checks key files in the entire ROUTES folder at launch of the application, Train Store "hides" stored routes from MSTS for faster launching and prevents potential memory issues left by the launch behavior. It solves an MSTS-only problem; OR solves it with a much better integrity check of just the selected route when it is loaded.

If you still use the Route Editor and/or the Activity Editor, you still need Train Store or those two editors will have problems loading as well. At least they load quicker and you won't run out of memory as quickly.
