I created a clean install of MSTS then added, scalerails, xtracks, ytracks, the latest bin, tsection.bat and anything else I may need to create a new mini-route and if I need the msts routes I just copy them to where I need them, and run the installme.bat. it isn't that difficult to do. But I also have two ISO files one for each disk, backed up on my file server, an external hdd and on a NVMe drive just in case. I've never trusted cloud drives. I have this fear of being at the whim of other people. I have created my own private cloud. I know I can trust myself and know what will happen to my data if the server disappears from the internet.

Eric, I love them, because since they are fictional you can do whatever you want. There is no constraints or having to be realistic. No one can say, you can't use that engine or that box car was never allowed on these rails. Because it is all just pretend and fun anyways. As a kid I just wanted to be an engineer I didn't care if it was on the Northern Pacific or the land of make believe. Its kinda like my HO modeling preferences, I want to have fun and be creative I don't care if the signals are era correct or if I'm running a BN on the the northeastern corridor, I just wanna play and enjoy myself.Pacific Northwest RailfanComment

Was never a fan of seaview or full bucket line. Just couldn't get into it. Same with the Boston & Maine routes that are available, due to the fact they lack proper terrain and locations. To someone outside the region, they can be a good fill in, but for someone from the area, it's to easy to notice the flaws, then again, I haven't released a single route I've started publicly..-Shawn K-

Hey, you do you my friend. If we were all the same, life and this hobby would be very boring. Some people love fantasy and other want to re-live the past, there are no wrong answers. I just sharing my opinions on some of my favorite routes for OR. But, stlsf4003 is correct without MSTS Full Bucket Line is a no go and there is the signal bug with OR too so there is another drawback.Pacific Northwest RailfanComment

Yep, and in case any reader of this thread never saw the fix posted in the forums..here it is.
The default sigcfg file begins with this >>> Skip _( >>> which causes OR problems when parsing the script.
Remove the " _ " so the line reads >>> Skip (
I changed my line to read "Comment ( " because I thought OR would not accept Skip -- but I believe it does, you can use Comment also.Last edited by R. Steele; 06-03-2023, 08:11.Cheers, Gerry

For those who do enjoy "imaginary" routes, as I do, Steve Hopkin's fine Fantasii route would be of interest. I believe it's "imagined" as being in the northwest USA, and doesn't require MSTS files to install.
