    MSTS Content Not in Open Rails

    I have quite a bit of add-on content for MSTS. However, about half of it does not show up in Open Rails. Also, none of the consists and activities I have created using the MSTS editor show up in Open Rails. Everything is, as far as I can tell, saved in the default MSTS folders.

    Is this a compatibility issue? Or is there something else I can do to to rectify this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Where do you have MSTS installed?

    Also, do you see any entries with <> around them in the drop-down selection lists?

    Cheers, Markus

      Bit more to the point is what is your operating system and where do you have MSTS installed?.
      Beer is not a matter of life or death, it is much more serious than that.

        I assume that your MSTS is running alright on your whatever computer running whatever WIN O/S ?

          I'm running Windows 10 (64bit) but the issue was the same with Windows 8. MSTS is installed in the default location, C:\\Program Files\Microsoft Games . MSTS runs fine, no issues with content there. And there are no < > in any of the options in the drop down menus.

            Yes, it would run O.K.:

            But as far as ORTS is concerned it may be better to install it like this or as mentioned on the Steam4Me web site:

              I'm wondering if ACELA026 has had time enough to sort out the problem yet, or if it still is an issue?

                I consider it quite rude for someone to post a question and then no follow up reply. Why would someone do this?

                  A reply to your question could be even more rude !

                    Oh, I dunno' OttO . . . I'm just looking for a possible reason for someone to ask for help, help being cheerfully provided btw, and the just ignore or ask further questions.
                    Perhaps his internet connection has been hacked? Broken? Out of megabytes? Or... other personal problems. I do hope he gets them solved and resumes communicating.
                    regards,
