Why doesn't all my locomotives show up?

[rrfan]

I have over nearly 100 locomotives that I can operate just fine in MSTS but only 25% of them show up in Open Rails. Is there anything I can do to get OR to read those files?

Do all your routes and activities show in Open Rails?. If not, do you use Train Store?.

[markus1996]

[...] If not, do you use Train Store?.

Either Trainstore, or any other such program to "store" content outside of the MSTS installation (e.g. Route Riter´s functionality to do that).?

Cheers, Markus

Yes all of my routes are there. Only the default stuff, 3DTS, D&H stuff from the bridge line, CN SD75s I got from Train Sim, L&HR steam locomotives and CP steam locomotives show up. I have countless more add ons that dont show up. I do not use Train Store.

One ""small" thing you didn't mention...Do you have consists using your "missing" locomotives? No consist; No show, either in MSTS or Open Rails.

[rrfan]

Yes I have many consists made for these missing units. I even said they operate just fine in MSTS. They just dont show up in Open Rails. Both the locomotives and the consists.

[baldwin]

That is the bit I find strange. If the consists are there, and are valid then Open Rails will automatically pick them up, unless they are in a folder that OR does not recognise for some reason.

What if I try re-installing OR?

[markus1996]

Before re-installing, are you using mini-routes?

Cheers, Markus

[rrfan]

I have no idea what that is so Im assuming not

[markus1996]

That above is the opposite to asking, if you have just one installation of MSTS and related content.

[rrfan]

Yes I only have one installation of MSTS. Is there something I can do to help it read all the missing locomotives/consists?

[markus1996]

First, please verify the files you´re looking for (and all dependencies) are actually there. On a side note, have these files already sometime been displayed by ORTS?

Then, try re-setting ORTS' path to the MSTS installation.

If that still doesn´t elp, try a different release of ORTS (if it has already worked, try an earlier release than what you´re currently using).

Cheers, Markus

Is there something I can do to help it read all the missing locomotives/consists?

Yes, some more specific, detailed information. Provide examples of a specific engine/consist that is not showing up.
Screeshots showing your configuration, the OR menu screen that is not showing your installation. Maybe those will help someone help you figure out what is going on.

For instance: see attached screenshots
