Problems With NALW Locos in ORTS

[ahat8923]

1 Flaw with ORTS is that, well, Last year, I went retro and got some of NALW's Locos, but I found some issues in Open Rails,
All the locos (Cept the Berkshire) Smoke Up a Storm, Has Anybody Gone through this issue too

There is an OR utility to adjust smoke. It has been discussed in the OR forum here and at ET. A search in either OR forumshould get you the info.

Ok Then, I now understand, it may be for the whole factor for the UP Locos and Berkshires were made in 2002 and the NH I5 Came out in 2007, And Open Rails came out in 2011 or 2013 (I Think)

I vaguely recall some problem with the NALW UP steam pack even with MSTS - not enough power and loss of steam. Did somebody issue a fix involving changes to the .eng files? If so, and you're using the olde original pack, you might need to do some hunting for the fix.

I run the 'Hugh Reilly" version of the NALW UP Steamers under OpenRails no problems. They are here in the D/L Library as HR*.zip
under Steam Locomotives. (About 6 Files) Be sure to add in the FIX files!

The only problem some had with the NALW steam pack was being unable to hear the whistle. Certainly more than enough power, and only losing steam if driven like a diesel.

I Have seen the factual, the way how I installed the pack is that I went into the setup file, and took out the files, removed the number and # in the filenames, and put them in folders with accurate names

You cannot simply re-name folders in MSTS without additional changes to the files within those folders so it's no surprise that it does not function.
Additionally if you fail to follow the install instructions, you will also have problems . . . sort of like shooting yourself in the foot. OUCH!

I'd suggest a careful study of Eng_and_wag_file_reference_guidev2.doc which can be found on MSTS Install Disk #1 and can be extracted from the TECHDOCS folder. (it's a self extracting executable)

Also this too may be helpful: http://msts.steam4me.net/tutorials/h...ders_work.html

And this related tutorial: http://msts.steam4me.net/tutorials/rt_fold.html

If you installed MSTS per this tutorial >>===> http://msts.steam4me.net/tutorials/installing_msts.html You are good to go.

And finally, if your Operating System is Vista, Win8, or Win10 and if you installed MSTS to it's default install path you are NOT good to go and will experience serious difficulties installing any MSTS add-on content.

Huh, I never got that issue, my computer is a Windows 7, and it works fine as MSTS works from Windows 95-Windows-8 (Presumly)
