Tutorial cannot run because of missing track section

[Rob Richardson]

I tried to run the first tutorial on the Great Zig-Zag Railway route. It would not run. The error message reads as follows:

"Open Rails detected a track section which is not present in tsection.dat and cannot continue.
Most likely you don't have the Xtracks or Ytracks version needed for this route."

Hi Rob,

Sorry to hear this is giving trouble.

The Great Zig-Zag Railway route is intended to be standalone and does not share files with any MSTS installation. Is your Zig-Zag Railway independent of any MSTS installation?

Best wishes,

SOLUTION FOUND:

Turns out that this was indeed the issue. The Great Zig-Zag Railway is intended to be a standalone (or mini-route) and should be installed independently of any MSTS content. Rob has confirmed that it works fine when it is kept separate.

You may have the wrong TSection version for that route.

With the right TSection, ORTS will still load without having the shapes from YTracks or XTracks -- you'll just have blanks where the tracks are supposed to be.

Hi,
The Western Railways v2 is only designed for use with MSTS. It uses a large number of default files, copied using installme.bat. Also, the readme makes no mention of track systems or which tsection.dat file is required! The route DOES require XTracks and NewRoads, both of which add tsection.dat file #38. Route_Riter reports snow textures missing plus one other texture and one .sms file.

Cheers,
