Hello,

New ORTS user here. I have TSRE installed, but when I choose the TRAINS directory it highlights in green but never displays any consists. I know there are .con files in the consists directory.

What am I missing??

Thanks!

Looking forward to getting back into the hobby after giving up on MSTS years ago.

The TSRE states "choose folder CONTAINING trains folder"
which means choosing the train simulator folder, or the folder above trains.

Yes, thats exactly what I've done. I have it looking at D:\trainsimfiles\routes. The TRAINS folder is under \routes. As I said, D:\trainsimfiles\routes shows green because it sees TRAINS, but it doesnt pull any of the .CON files into the list.

Sounds like you have D:\trainsimfiles\routes as you MSTS/OR install root folder. The MSTS/OR install root folder should have the a minimum of 4 folders GLOBAL, ROUTES, SOUND AND TRAINS. In addition your TRAINS folder should have 2 folders TRAINSET (where the rolling stock is stored in folders) and CONSITS (where the consists are stored in CON files).

It is confusing to have a folder named "routes" as your MSTS/OR root folder as it contains a folder also named "ROUTES".

The TSRE consist editor needs to be pointed to the MSTS/OR install folder to work properly. This root folder is where MSTS installs the file Trains.exe also known as the MSTS executable.

Another thought: In the TSRE-CE menu under VIEW is Consists List checked? And if it is is the filter for the Consist list set to "ALL"?

I don't have a TSRE-CE menu. When I click the icon, it runs a Windows batch file, the TSRE program opens and asks you to browse to the proper directory.

I think Im going to track down another download, re-install & see if that helps

When your tsre opens, that is what you are supposed to get.

Keep note of what Charles has said above!!

Sorry, I didn't see Geepster's message.

Open the folder where you installed TSRE-CE.
Create a text file in that folder and name it "cerecent.txt"
Make one line in the file with the path to your Train Sim files.
From what you said above that would be:
D:\trainsimfiles\routes
save the file,
Run the TSRE CE bat file

I thought there was only one place to download Goku's TSRE???

[derekmorton]

I would expect that Goku will have it ignoring the routes folder.
