    ORTS doesn't seem to see the eng. and wagon flies in my trainset folderl. What's up.

    Just purchase a new computer with Win8 and I installed MSTS in C:\1MSTS per the steam4me tutorial that worked fine.

    I downloaded OR and put it at C:\Open Rails. When I launch OR it starts then gives me this message:Can't continue MSTS is missing a file from the trainset folder. Does this with every route and every act in it. Each time I checked to see if that file was in the trainset folder and it was. OR acts like it can't see the trainset folder or the files in it.

    Anyone else have this problem, or know what is causing this.

    Hi Dave,
    Is it the same file each time? Why don't you let us in on the secret, and tell us which file/s?

    Cheers,
    Ged

      When you open the OR Menu, did you press the "Add" button and point it to your MSTS installation?

        Yes I pointed OR at MSTS. Didn't help. The files it doesn't see is always in the trainset folder, it is player train eng. for that particular act.

              It dosen't matter, I've tried many different acts. on several different routes. Its always the same message: An essential folder is missing and Open Rails cannot continue. C:\1MSTS\trains\trainsets\player train eng. name.

                Does MSTS run the same activities OK?

                The only way I could cause this error to appear is by renaming my TRAINSET folder to something else or by not having the correct rolling stock installed.

                Show us your MSTS folder structure - Attach a screenshot of explorer viewing the folder so we can see what you've done.

                Is your MSTS folder actually called 1MSTS as shown? Is that playing a part in the issue?
