Problem With Sandpatch Train

[dkingsburg]

Mine is C:MSTS\Routes|Sandpatch.

I Have Sandpatch Installed and All the Activities Work Except EBQ216.
When I Start Open Rails The Activity File Says Load Error, Locomotive Missing/Unknown, Consist: Missing/Unknown, Starting at Heading to both Say Missing/Unknown. In My MSTS Sandpatch Folder The Activity is in the Activity Folder, The Path is in the Path Folder, Same With Services and Traffic. Everything is There.
The Consist and Loose Consists Are in The Consist Folder.
Is it Me Or Open Rails?

A situation arose for me once when I accidentally used an AI engine for the lead unit in the player consist in TSRE. OR gave me the same errors you mentioned above. Maybe that's what happened when you edited the consist in TSRE

Spoony1999,
I Didn't Think About that. I Don't Think I put an AI Engine in the Lead but Maybe I Did.
I'll remember That.

Good. Since you mentioned reinstalling it, I thought you might have been writing files to a protected folder.

Unlike ConBuilder, TSRE-CE will not warn you if you convert a drivable consist to non-drivable. But ORTS will tell you that it is "missing unknown" if the selected Player consist is non-drivable.

I Didn't Actually Reinstall Sandpatch. I Placed it on my Desktop Got the Files I Needed for the Activity, Path, Services, Traffic and Consist and Deleted the Ones in
the Route and Installed the Ones I Placed on my Desktop.
Made my Changes with TSRE and Voila it Loaded and Works.

I was referring to post #11. That was the second time you said you installed it and the Act still didn't work. That sounded like you reinstalled.

Hmmm, but you just did what Charles was concerned about, installing any trainsim resources in protected folders, the Desktop is a protected folder. You may get away with this practice once or twice, but it is most definitely not a "best practice" -- eventually it will cause problems.
