Cima file problem Meridian Speedway

[gates5of1]

This is what the open rails log say for the Cima files and I checked the tiles in the meridian speedway all the _y files seen to be there. However I don't know how many it is suppose to be. Hope this helps.

???????????????????
Cima Sub is in Nevada and California. The Meridian Speedway in in Arkansas and Mississippi.

You are asking about one route and quoting a log file from a run on another route.

OR overwrites the log file every run.

[gates5of1]

No Charles Meridian speedway runs Louisiana and Mississippi in the pass post I was asking questions about the floating tracks on the speedway. and showing the bug of the Cima route on why it wouldn't load.

Yes, LA not AR. BUT your post in this thread says nothing about Cima not loading.

Charles, for some reason, the OP started another thread---why??? I cannot fathom
Here's the first thread where both the Cima, Meridian, and Sherman Hill were mentioned

gates5of1 the problem lies in the trk file in the OpenRails folder...we need to see that so the problem can be seen, please post the trk file in the OpenRails folder...the log says it all

Error: Orts.Parsers.Msts.STFException: Missing Tr_RouteFile in C:\2MSTS\ROUTES\Cima\openrails\Cima.trk:line 3

my emphasis

See post #7 in the linked thread below, perhaps this will help:

[gates5of1]

They were mention in the open rails section because I was running all three in openrails.

1. Sherman Hill is missing some tracks in sections I have scale rails installed. I've check updates have them all.

2 Cima I attach the log to my last post showing the problem. What is suppose to go in the third line What am I'm missing I DON'T KNOW that is why I'm asking.
3.I know the Speedway is an old route but wondering if I could get rid of the floating tracks.

Hi gates5of1,
I'm sorry, mate, but you don't seem to understand what is being asked of you!

The Open Rails log reports a problem with line 3 of the Cima.trk file. You have been requested to attach the .trk file to your post so that those who are trying to help you can determine why OR doesn't like the file. Simples!!

Cheers,
Ged

As I read thru this again, it really looks to me like the solution to the Cima problem lies in this thread, where in post #7 the need for a blank line in a specific position in the TRK file is discussed.

https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showthread.php?329181-Cima-and-its-trk-file&highlight=cima

Maybe I am off base, but the issue described in this thread seems very much like the one solved in the older thread I linked to, might be worth taking a look.

#1. Turn off Super elevation in the OR options before running the route.

#2. Read the error closely. It says "Missing Tr_RouteFile in C:\2MSTS\ROUTES\Cima\openrails\Cima.trk:line 3"
Not "Missing Tr_RouteFile in C:\2MSTS\ROUTES\Cima\Cima.trk:line 3."
Note it is the Cima.trk file in the Cima/Openrails folder. NOT the Cima.trk file in the Cima folder.
The editing needed is to change:
--------------
include ( ../Cima.trk )


ORTSUserPreferenceForestClearDistance ( 2 )
-----------
into:
--------------


include ( ../Cima.trk )


ORTSUserPreferenceForestClearDistance ( 2 )
-----------------

Note there needs to be a space before the "include ( ../Cima.trk )" line

#3 Beyond my paygrade.

When I go to make the changes it will ask me do I want to save changes when said yes it will pop up you don't have permission to open this file. See owner of the file or an administrator to obtain permission.

[gammaray84]

Might have to change the attribute of the file. This is a very common problem. But changing attributes should do the trick. Usually i get this, when i fresh install the files (rotes,locos,...) and want to temper with them. I have to first make them "non-read-only".

Have a good day.

[gates5of1]

Finally got what was being saying with the Cima route took a break and come back to it. In the Cima Open rail Folder in the MSTS folder is where I make the change and make copy and replace the file in the Openrails folder in open rails.
Space
Space before the include ( ../Cima.trk )
Space
ORTSUserPerferenceForestClearDistance ( 2 )

BINGO!...persistence pays off...you got it, the space in line "1" of include files is important. Nice job. The OR "forest clear" parameter can be adjusted>>> more information in the manual here Sec. 15.13 Removing forest trees from tracks and roads

Cima has some desert shrubbery that encroaches on the tracks.

The OpenRails folder scheme can be used in the Trainset folders to introduce OR physics to specific locomotives or wagons without the need to alter the MSTS files, also can be used in the Activities folder in the use of OR Timetables, and in other parts of the folder structure to add OR parameters and attributes without altering the MSTS files. All in the manual.
