Feather river help

[kevhead]

The track is grey and the scale roads are grey. Can someone direct me to how I might fix this? I only use open rails no MSTS. The trainsimulations routes work fine. It is just the FR route by 3dtrains that is giving me the problem. Thanks.

You need to properly install Scalerail and Scaleroads. Those are available at 3D Trains site.

Make sure the textures are in the routes texture folder.
They should be in the Scalerail folder in your Global.
Copy/paste, you may need them for other routes.

If you using OpenRails,check under super-elevation if it's set to 1,it causes strange issues with this route,change it back to zero.

Lets see your log. Always include it.

Because of the custom nature, you shouldn't need to get the road and rail packages separately, everything should come in the download.

You cannot combine this route in the same installation as Sherman. Both routes use different generations of scalerail and scaleroads.

And unless you have the trackprofiles folder added (it wasn't included) you need to keep superelevation off. Turn it on only if you have a trackprofiles folder.

thanks guys fixed it.

Care to share what you had to do to fix this?
Might help someone out in the future.

Thanks

Sure. Made sure I had put the scale rail files and textures in the correct folder which is in the instructions or should I say read me lol.but, you can also just grab the actrack.dds files from any trainsimulations route and it will work. If you do not install the textures from 3dtrains texture folder you will be missing the roads and tunnel textures though. Hope this helps.

post note on this thread

If you only have openrails and no MSTS then when you install what I say might be called a legacy route after you have installed just a openrails route that is not for MSTS then you will get the gray textures. You then can do what I said in the previous post. Not sure about the tunnel textures yet on some of the routes yet still working on that.

Here's a track profile for Feather River. Unzip to a folder named "TrackProfiles" in the "WP3" route directory.

TrProfile (WP3rd_SRv3).zip

Also, just repeating what others have said, NO content (MSTS or OR ) should be installed in the "TrainSimulations" folder other than the Mullan, Ruel, and other TS payware routes that come packaged with installers that install into that folder.

Well it worked for me. I have both the AT&SF and BNSF Seligman routes in there and other trainsimulations routes. All of them actually. Sooo, yea to quote you, It's my railroad and I'll do what I want! oh yea it's not a matter of beer because beer just taste bad lol.

Well "sparkie" I also have arrangements of directories\files that I would not recommend in the forums, there are too many complexities for the casual user to overcome...I've only been pursuing this hobby for seven years...a pittance compared to you. Learning all the files, directories and how they all relate and what functions they perform is part of the hobby ( at least to my way of thinking )...but not all forum members are looking for that type of experience. So I try to keep it basic in my explanations and urge folks to follow the instructions enclosed with the routes. Enjoy your railroad! ( stay safe and healthy )
My Best Regards, Gerry

The Trainsimulations version of Xtracks calls up DDS track textures instead of ace. Yes you can always add the DDS textures for xtracks into each and every other older MSTS route's textures folders and the newer version of xtracks will display just fine when running MSTS routes IN OPEN RAILS. The problem is you end up with perpetually dueling versions of Xtracks installers every time some new MSTS freeware route installer calls up and tries to install some embedded ACE version of Xtracks again. Then your newer TS routes that don't have ACE files for the track textures break because the single shared copy of Xtracks pieces are now calling for ACE textures. Then when you buy the next TS route, it goes back to installing the DDS version of Xtracks. Most people with half a brain see that as too much bullshit to be perpetually dealing with, back and forth, back and forth. It is so much easier to keep 2 versions of xtracks contained apart from each other in two different installations and you can save all the track texture shoring up and troubleshooting when each installer craps half your combined routes. Let the MSTS routes use the old ACE version, and the newer TS routes stay slim with only DDS files. People can do whatever they want, but the preferred method is the best course with less 'dueling' for the widest audience.
