I was looking for activities to run on my Surfliner 2.3 MSTS route, and came across "ORTS Surfliner 2.3 Activity Pack 2: Amtrak". Problem is, I wasn't aware that there was a Surfliner route for OR, and am not seeing it listed in the f/l. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance.
The 2.3 update requires either bin or ORTS, so it cannot be just a pure MSTS activity. Appears the author just chose to label it ORTS. Maybe he just tested the timing on ORTS so the timing of the AIs may be screwed up if you run it on MSTS.
Curt, you can view the files before downloading...and looking at the readme...
Notes:
---This package is for ORTS *only*. These activities were made using TSRE and tested in ORTS. Backwards compatibility with MSTS is not guaranteed.
---Traffic, consists, and schedules are created to match those from Vol. 1 from the summer of 2015.
---Install and run these activities at your own risk, and back up files! Although the consists, traffic, etc. shouldnt overwrite anything, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
---Feel free to email me if any issues arise. PLEASE be as descriptive as possible when reporting to me. Also mention the OR extension you are using. That way I can help you with more ease.
---Enjoy and have fun! To complete these 10 activities will take approximately 32 hours of gameplay time.
These are for the Surfliner 2-2 which had a scenery upgrade making it 2-3.
MSTS Route--Surfliner v2.3 Update. Requires Surfliner Route v2.2. This update further modifies scenery throughout the Surfliner route to add additional details and local landmarks. Route by Jeff Farquhar and Paul Peterson. Version 2.3 update by Brian Smolke.

and the original documentation sorta reflecting that preference, while the authors of the 2.2 and 2.3 revisions having sentiments quite the opposite, if not making improvements that made continued use of the upgraded route dependent upon having OR.
I vaguely remember a payware version years ago, but the listing in the f/l makes me think it's the freeware 2.3 version.
The payware version was by Facing Point and it received an absolute panning, considered by many purchaser's (including myself) as being unfinished.
The only decent thing about that package was Marc's rolling stock.
The freeware v2.3 is excellent and, coincidentally, I am running that in OR at the moment.

I suspect he's sold enough of his Surfliner set since then to the the sting away. I bought it a couple years back for the F59PHI...
