Forgive me if this has been answered, I have managed to install OR and the default Msts routes but for some reason I can't get the tracks to appear, scenery and trains are fine all except for the rails...can someone tell me what I'm not doing ? Thanks for any help.

Do you have a GLOBAL directory with a SHAPES and TEXTURES subdirectory?
Turn on logging, and post your logfile here.If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks! -
Yes, I have those directories. I only seem to be missing the tracks, really strange since everything else seems to be correct, should I move the track files from say the USA routes into the Global folder ?...Comment

Hi Greenboy,
You said "I have managed to install OR and the default Msts routes". If you copied the MSTS routes from another installation, then you must also copy the GLOBAL and SOUND folders from the same source - allow overwrites.
Cheers,

You are not telling us enough of what you have done !
You have managed to install ORTS !
Have you downloaded the latest Experimental release X3032 ?
http://www.openrails.org/download/program/
You have started ORTS and its Menu being displayed you did what ?
Did you select just one MSTS route to run or are all not showing tracks ?
If ORTS is missing something it needs to run it would tell you !
Can you show us what its LOG says it has placed somewhere on your Desktop by attaching its Text file to your next post ?

As requested earlier, post the logfile from loading up your route and running it. It will tell you what files are missing, and those are the ones you'll need to copy over.If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating....

Ok, in my state of allergy unrelief. I must have inadvertently missed copying some of those "global" shapes but I want to thank everyone for their input and the irony in this is I have win 8.1 and could not get Msts to run but with OR installed I can, go figure...thanks again guys fir your suggestions !Comment

Hi Greenboy,
As has been mentioned in other threads, if you're running Windows 8.1 with anything other than an NVIDIA card you will be in trouble!
AMD/ATI cards just cause MSTS to crash and on-board Intel graphics systems cause a "scrambled" menu screen, although I believe it can be worked through.

Hey Ged,
My laptop uses an intel based graphics chip which explains the scrambled issue with Msts loading by itself. It's nice to see OR resolved that problem. It's nice to run it on a hdtv now vs a monitor. Thanks for the info on chipvsets, about to get a new pc and will make sure it uses Nvidia.Comment
