Trainsimulations southern & ns hi-hood sets

[dkingsburg]

I Have Conbuiolder and TSRE Installed and am using Open Rails.
When I Installed the Trainsimulations Southern & NS HI-Hood Sets the Engines Don't Even Appear in Conbuilder.
The Freight Cars Do but when I try to Open the File to Put them in Conbuilder I get the Following Message:
"ERROR 91 Object Variable or With Block Variable Not Set."
However In TSRE All of the Engines & Cars do Show Up.
Is It A Problem with Conbuilder or What?
Thankyou,

I do not have the set, but since they are "Made for Open Rails" I suspect that they may utilize the Include file feature. ConBuilder is not compatible with ENG and WAG files that utilize Include lines. Include lines inhibit ConBuilder from finding critical data necessary for placing ENGs/WAGs in consists and for testing them, therefore they are not included in the ENG or WAG lists. Look at the Startup Errors to verify my suspicions.

And by the way if the above is true, then this set will also NOT be compatible with MSTS.

So I just Wasted a Bunch of Money on something I can't use on any Routes that aren't Open Rails!

[dcarleton]

No, not a waste. They'll give you an installation of Open Rails for absolutely nothing free. Such a deal!

Did you not read from their purchase page:
System Requirements
Open Rails (1.2 or higher)
356 MB of available hard disk space

And before you "waste money" again note this from their Home page:
"ABOUT US

TrainSimulations is a provider of high-quality North American content for the Open Rails train simulation platform. Open Rails is an ever-expanding open source simulation platform which is free to use."

What did you purchase?

[dkingsburg]

I Have Open Rails Installed I Figured that The Pack would be Compatible with Everything I Had Installed. I've Purchased other Downloads that Will Work with Open Rails as Well as with MSTS.

[dkingsburg]

I've Puyrchased other Downloads that work with Both Open Rails & MSTS and Didn't Expect this to be any different!

Have you opened the ENG files to see if they have Include lines? That would verify that they cannot be used in MSTS.

Moved to Open Rails.... it’s a OR product.....

[PerryPlatypus]

Yes, the engines in this set use include lines.

You can use the engines on any route that functions within Open Rails, NOT just routes that were specifically designed for OR. So you can use them on, for example, the freeware Saluda route, but you HAVE to be running them in Open Rails. They will not function in MSTS.

[dkingsburg]

I Only Use Open Rails for all My Routes. I Had a Problem With Graphics with MSTS and Changed to Open Rails Which I Like a Whole Lot Better.
All the Engines and Cars Do Show Up In TSRE Consist Editor but I Don't Use it for Modifying Consists cause Conbuilder is Simpler for Me.
Maybe I'll Start Using TSRE More Since Everything Seems to be Going that Way. I do Like the Fact that TSRE Uses a Larger Screen and the Cars and Engines do Look More prototypical. I'm so Used to Using Conbuilder I'm probably Spoiled and Maybe if I Use TSRE More It will Become Simpler for Me Like Conbuilder Was.
