    Addon Troubles in Open Rails

    Hi everyone! I've been having some problems in OR lately that don't affct the game that much but bug the heck out of me. Anyways, I have MANY addons for OR from MSTS, and some haven't worked correctly since the start, and even a few won't install at all!

    Firstly, I'm a HUGE fan of Thomas and Friends (don't judge me, you don't have to be a kid to like it ya' know ), so it would probably be that I have some addons based from it (by "some" I mean like 30 locos and cars lol), which I do. The bigger engines are fine (Gordon, Henry, etc.) are working fine, but some of the smaller engines and coaches are missing some wheels on them. Here's a screenshot of Thomas of what he looks like in-game:

    So there's that. Every one that has his problem I reinstalled like 5x each on compatibility mode, but it stayed the same. Does anyone here know what the problem is? Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Secondly, I downloaded the UP Steam Pack from the North American Locomotive Works (NALW) from this link: https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/tslib....archid=8419924

    I followed the readme's instructions very carefully, but when I try to install it, it says this: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\Setup_38542\00108 #844_whistle.wav File not found!

    Now I did lots of research on this, but couldn't find any answers on it. Here's what it looks like:

    UPSTEAM.jpg

    Does anyone have any answers on this? I tried to contact NALW, but since their website is over a decade old and not active anymore, I couldn't get any info. As I said up top, help ASAP is very helpful. I'm sorry if I sound like a noob; I've been playing OR for more than 2 years now but I've only had this account for less than a month.

    Thanks everyone!

    Which version of Thomas is that, where did you download it from?. Without the files cant help. There is an answer to the NALW whistle problem in these forums.
    Beer is not a matter of life or death, it is much more serious than that.

      Here's where I downloaded Thomas, along with some of my other TTTE lococ. Could you give me a link to the whistle problem, please? I'd like to check that out. Thanks for helping!

        If you are using win Vista, 7, 8 or 10, run the exe file as administrator. Right click on the exe file and select Properties, then on the security tab the option is near the bottom of the window, check box.

        With regard to Thomas, had a look at the shape and the wheels are made of many parts, one of which looks like it is named wrong, so OR will not show it.

          Thanks so much! It did the job with the UP Steam pack, but is there any solution to Thomas? Some of my other locos do this too. Thanks for the help!

          Edit: Is there any solution to the wheels on Thomas, other locos, and rolling stock? I'm sorry but I'm not very good with MSTS files.

            So, is there any way to fix Thomas? Which files are named wrong? Can it be fixed as mentioned before?
