probably a silly Question again?

[pcohen]

Should this be in my Open Rails Content Page, more importantly what is It please.

Open Rails Train Simulator - ZZ C:\ Open Rails Train Simulator - ZZ

Have been experimenting with Siskiyou Route but not aware that It was working yet. Or should it be in MSTS Please.

Many thanks

Paul.

Siskiyou Route Isn't working correctly anyway.

Scenery is very drab, Roads and Traffic are displayed but there are no Railway Tracks displayed.

The Following Is Installed as per Instructions:

ScaleRail_Base ScaleRail, ScaleRail_Update_177a , ScaleRoad, SView1_3_129

But nothing seems to be happening as Usual.

Thanks

Paul.

Isn't that the AUS NSW ZZ route?

Hi niknak, thanks for reply.

Really don't have a clue, not seen it before, strange as it may seem? cannot find it anywhere else. Must have appeared from somewhere.

thanks

The Siskiyou Route is a work in progress. Dale releases updates as his excellent work progresses. You will find the work to be meticulous, with equipment and activities included...however, some parts of the route are still being planted by the head landscaper ( also named Dale )! I have not installed the latest updates, so I cannot address your question about the tracks, you'd have to be more specific as to location, however, it could be you are missing some textures?

I don't understand your differentiation between OR and MSTS. If you are primarily running MSTS you can still install the OR simulator ( to for instance C:\OpenRails ) and using the OR Content tab point OR to your MSTS installation ( C:\MSTS). If you also have routes that are specifically designed for OR you could install those to this location C:\OR ROUTES\ ... making sure to follow the basic folder structure that is outlined in Chapters 4 & 5 of the manual, specifcally folder structure is "4.4 Using a Non-MSTS Folder Structure".
Of course you will choose folder names that make sense to you, I give examples only.

"ZZ" ( zig zag railway ) sounds like this route for Open Rails found here https://www.zigzag.coalstonewcastle.com.au/

That is the Zig Zag Railway that you probably downloaded from the ORTS Home page with the OR starter kit. It installs into its Own, separate from any other MSTS/ORTS installation.

What is your Path to the Siskiyou Route? As in X:\MSTS\ROUTES\Siskiyou or C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\ROUTES\Siskiyou. I placed mine in a separate install: A:\Siskiyou\Routes\Siskiyou

Where did you install ScaleRail to? It should have been to the Global folder and you should find this sub folder X:\(Your Install)\Global\ScaleRail

Sorry Guys, seem to be getting Two Routes Mixed up together here!

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Charles, thanks for reply and apologies for late reply.

I have Two options that I use. Most of my MSTS content Since the arrival of Windows 10 usually Works OK in C:\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator (DO NOT USE PROGRAM FILES (x86) ) The following Routes, MONON-2, Scottish Central, PRR_EAST_REG-2 & Thames Trent Version 3 I have installed into Drive C: as Single Routes

I have tried all ways to Install Siskiyou Route over the last few Days but with no luck, hitting a brick wall every time.

What am I doing wrong please.

Many thanks

Paul.

[crstagg]

When you don't tell us what is wrong after running the install, how do you expect us to tell you what you did wrong and how to do it right?

[pcohen]

Hi Charles, think there's a mix up here, as previously said " The Route is working But there are no Railway tracks being displayed."

Road and Road traffic are working OK. Scenery is a bit bland but given to understand It is a work in Progress.

Scale Rail is installed and displayed in the Global Folder. also Xtracks and YTracks Are Installed.

Not sure what else to Do?

Thanks

Paul.

Since you say that there is a ScaleRail folder in your Global folder, then my first thought is that a version of Tsection.dat version 52 or newer did not get copied to your Global folder. Or you installed XorY tracks after ScaleRail and they overwrote Tsection with an OLDER version. (Ytracks includes a VERY old version of Tsection.dat.)

Get the current Tsection.dat and install it to your global folder.

Hi Charles again.

Cannot seem to find the latest TSection Data to Download but My Computer is telling me I already have the Latest Tsection.dat so not sure whether I should Copy and Paste it from elsewhere or indeed whether I would be copying the Correct Version.

Thanks

Paul.

??? Never had my computer tell me I had the latest version of Tsection.dat installed. Have had it ask if I wanted to overwrite one dated 1/1/2019 with one dated 1/1/2010. The only way to really tell is to open the file and look at the third line. Should look like this: _INFO ( Build 00052 )
Siskiyou requires #52 or greater. The current one in the library here is #54 in tsection54.zip

One other test. Open your X:\(Your install that has Siskiyou)\Global\SHAPES folder and look for the file SR_1tBrg_c_005m.s

Hi Charles again.

"Open your X:\(Your install that has Siskiyou)\Global\SHAPES folder and look for the file SR_1tBrg_c_005m.s"

Sorry, nothing even remotely close!

Thanks
