    Blw locomotives

    I Have Several BLW Locomotives Installed. When I Start the Simulation there is No Sound and the Cabview is of the Front Railing. What Am I Doing Wrong? Do I Place the Sound and Cab Folders in the Common Cab, Common Snd. Folders or What?
    Thankyou,
    DaveK

    If you would like to attach the log here, we can assist.

      There is nothing in the readme file? My experience is that you run the installer and all is complete, no manual manipulation needed.

        It sounds like it doesn't come with a sound folder or cab folder, can you take a screenshot of those folders and of the eng file if there are is anything in those folders.

          Is he messing around with some special add-on that piggybacks off some full package yet to be installed that provides the sounds and cabviews?

          As usual he is fully descriptive about his precursor steps and actions.

            A characteristic of BLW products is that the cab files and sound files are located in Common.Cab and Common.Snd folders. The installer should have placed everything where it needed to be.

              Agree with David, -- their installer always places all cab and sound files in Common.cab and Common.snd --- I've yet to encounter problems installing their packages. Just let them install.

                Never once had a problem installing BLW products. Pretty simple, READ the readme if there is one. (Some files just don't have one) This guy doesn't seem to have much confidence in himself.....

                  Problem Solved!
                  I Had Been Installing the Files to My Desktop so I Could Weed Out the Engines I Didn't Want. Then I Would Copy the Files I Wanted into My Trainset Folder.
                  I Deleted them and Reinstalled Directly to my Trainset and then did my Deletions of the Engines I Didn't Want.
                  They Work Fine Now.

                    How many times do we have to say don't install to protected folders? The Desktop is just like Program Files.

                    If you want to weed out, create an install in C:\MSTS-Work.

                      Charles,
                      That's What I did. I Reinstalled Directly into C:MSTS Trains Folder and then Deleted the Engine Files I Didn't Want and then all the Consist Files.
