Open Rails 1.4 Not Showing any Activities!?

[PeterB]

Just recently re-installed MSTS due to some registry issues, and I have just re-installed OR version 1.4

Ran OR and although it shows within the main window for "Installation profile" -> Train Simulator, the "Route" and following boxes are completely blank/empty!!?? So there is no route to select with no activity to select either!?

There are some default MSTS activities included with MSTS. So why aren't these routes/activities not being shown within OR!? MSTS can run these default activities, but absolutely nothing can be selected in OR!?

What is wrong?

EDIT: The directory where MSTS was installed was not correct within OR train simulator options. Corrected the location of MSTS to the proper directory and now all routes and activities are shown!!

MSTS and OR have different philosophies as to how routes are managed.

In MSTS it is fixed, all routes have to be in ...\train simulator\routes. You can only split up routes by setting up "miniroutes" which are essentially separate little MSTS installations with their own routes, trains, global etc. files.

With OR, no routes or trains are set up by default, it is up to the user to use the options -> content tab to define one or more paths to the directory containing routes, trains, global, etc.
Hope that helps.
