ORTS closing on certain locomotives

[trainbot1]

You may be right Markus, but it's solved now, so there's no need , and yes, I am using windows 10

Glad you got it solved.

What did you do to make it work?

Cheers, Markus

All I did was not use Marias pass, the only route that seems to work is the Illinois central route from 2004

Doesn't exactly sound solved then, just worked around.

[baldwin]

Definitely not solved if a route does not work. Anyway, that aside, there are plenty of US routes in the file library here.

That says the problem is with your default route... not with ORTS or your equipment.

Then again, I wouldn't want to run the default US routes when there are far better Marias and NEC replacements available.

All three of you are right, it's not completely solved, I can only use one route! So... This is odd...

[eric]

Try downloading and installing something other than a default route... there are hundreds of them in the file library.

just tried, still the same issue, its only the IC route that works?

EDIT: after i closed the file explorer it worked, but even when i dont have the explorer open, the other routes still dont work

[baldwin]

You should not need file explorer open to run anything in Open Rails or MSTS. Where MSTS would crash if there were missing items relating to activities, Open Rails does not, unless the player path is missing, and even then produces a reason. In explore mode Open Rails will give you everything that it deems will work. Engines will run even if cab and sound folders are missing, but routes will not be available if the trk file is missing, and stock will not be usable if eng and wag files are missing.

baldwin, i forgot i left it open, so when i went to run it, it didnt work, but once i closed it it worked
