E44 <missing) locomotive?

[nicksobkow]

Hi Everyone,

I got the PRR ER installed to my open rails and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve been adding locomotives to my download like the PC silver liner II’s and they work fine. I downloaded the PRR E44’s but whenever I go to select a locomotive on the open rails screen, it says <missing> next to it. I put the consists in the consists file, and I put the engines in the trainset files. I don’t know what the problem might be. May you guys might. Thanks again,

- Nick

This thread should have been posted in the ORTS sub-forum as MSTS does not use the "<Missing>" phrase. MSTS just does not list the engines.

<Missing> means that ORTS could not find the ENG file from the filename and folder listed in the consist file. So have you looked in the ..\Trains\consist folder and opened the CON file to see what folder ORTS was looking in? Did you then go to that folder in the …\Trains\Trainset folder to (1) see if that folder existed? (2) looked to see if an ENG by that filename existed in the said folder?

Hi Charles,

Sorry about not posting it in the ORTS Forum. I got it fixed, thank you!
