How to make a starting point?

[wcl]

How does one go about on making a "starting point" and a "heading to" on a route in OpenRails??

The term you're looking for is a 'path'. In your OR installation is an application called "Contributed.TrackViewer" or something like that. It can create paths fairly easily

Thank you

And, if you would prefer using the MSTS AE, Michael Sinclair has tutorials on how to make activities and also a basic RE tutorial. I used them when I first started and they helped me figure it out. Very well written, and with pictures to illustrate his written tutorials. Search his name in the file library, and you should find them.

Thank you for pointing this out. After opening up Tools > Track Viewer (Contributed) > Path Editor > New Path (after selecting a Route), I'm wondering how to complete the path? I've gone through my OR Manual and didn't see any instructions. Any guidance is appreciated.

There is a Track Viewer manual under the documents button in OpenRails.

Totally overlooked that - thanks!
