Trying out OpenRails - OK tu put stuff in the CONTENTS folder?

[TrainFreak]

Having installed OpenRails, but failed to find my MSTS CDs. However have a couple of standalone MSTS routes I was thinking of installing straight into OpenRails. Is it OK to just install the ROUTES, TRAINSETS etc folders as subfolders of OR's own CONTENTS folder, or should I put them a completely different place? *n00b*

Your MSTS like content should be completely outside of your OR folder. The OR\content folder is for other purposes.

You can put it anywhere, and tell ORTS where to look for it. On the Options button, look for the Content tab:

To restate what has just been said, you don't actually need to put it anywhere at all if you've already got MSTS installed. You just point open rails to what has been installed in the TRAIN SIMULATOR folder. Same content can be run from either simulator.

Yeah Yeah no problems folks, I got it. /games/openrails should be an OK Place to put the various folders I suppose.
