Switching Activities for Long Island Rail Road (LIRR)

[adreid]

I am making a package of activities available as "LIRR-Activity-5Pack-v1.zip"

https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/tslib.php?do=copyright&fid=36506

These activities are based on the Long Island Rail Road Route v0.0.8 (lirr_install.zip) by Vince Cockeram

https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/tslib.php?do=copyright&fid=32583

The activities use equipment that is supplied with the route, and feature loose consists on industry sidings, and traffic on parallel tracks.

This is a collection of five "freewheeling" activities -- there are no rules here. Players are at liberty to use the switch lists that are provided, make up their own switch lists, or simply pick up and drop off cars as they please. An alternate switch list is provided for each activity, to double your fun.

I've had great fun building these activities. I hope you will have fun playing them.

Regards,
Dan Reid

I have LIRR. But I must be missing something. When run in OR, all the tracks and many of the buildings are "flying", sometimes far, above the ground. What have I done wrong? Nuke and reinstall, I guess, or is there something else? Worked fine in MSTS, btw.

Are you missing the "y.raw" files in the Tiles folder?

Looks like that's the case. All that's in the Tiles folder are *.t files. Guess I'll re-download and reinstall. Would be nice to have everything looking natural to try out some switching.

Happy to help...OR only uses the y & f raw files, does not need the e & n raw files...if you're not using MSTS you can delete all those, and gain some disk space.

Done, and the re-download and re-install (clean - wiped out the old miniroute folder so I'll have to reinstall the extra trains, like the MP-54s, too) worked. We're back in the real world. All I can guess is that something got messed up when restoring from backup after building the new computer. And it's been so long since I originally installed it that I was surprised at how small the download is; have gotten used to the multi-GB monsters of recent years. Thanks!
