open rails trainset

[bigjohn]

where is the trainset folder? (Extract the "NAVS_UP_273300_c2001," "US2FCARRE2," "US2FCARRF2," and "NAVS_COMMON" folders directly to your Open Rails "TRAINSET" folder)

It is where ever you installed it?

We have no way of knowing.

Those rolling stock items are for Open Rails. Some Open Rails routes require their own installation. The instructions are telling you to put them in the Trainset folder of the installation that you want in. Just like an MSTS install the Trainset folder is in ...\Trains\Trainset

Charles is right, If I wanted to put them in my Fictional route folder, I'd put them here,

ok, guys;
my installation of OR is as follows, D:\programfiles (x86) nothing in there but the files to make it run. D:\ train simulations, global, routes,trains-trainset/consists.no sound folder. That is all there is to my installation. Now if I've done something wrong I need to know and how to fix this.
Thank's big john

Where are your routes installed? you need to install your rolling stock in your routes folder. Everyone stores the routes in different places. I store my routes in d:\trains\MR-NameHere\ (MR standing for Mini Route- Whatever the name is) I separate mean by region and if they are real. fictional, and by size. Other people have there own naming conventions. So where you put your rolling stock is based on where you store your routes. If I was going to put the rolling stock in my Seaview 5 route I'd put it is D:\trains\MR-Fictional Routes\Trains\Trainsets. You might have them in D:\Programfiles (x86)\mircosoft games\Train-Simulator\Trains\Trainsets. Since I don't know where you store your routes I can't be anymore specific. But it is where you store your routes, not where you store your OR installation.

The way you can tell is open Open Rails, go to Menu and the content.,,,

Hi jdgremsjr,
Sorry, mate, but I think your post could be confusing and of not much help to bigjohn, especially when you say "install your rolling stock in your routes folder"!!

An installation will consist of a root folder, which may be named Train Simulator, or MSTS1, or whatever the user chooses..
The root folder itself may be a sub-folder of another folder, and is the one selected when using 'Add' from Open Rails > Options > Content.
The root folder will contain sub-folders GLOBAL, ROUTES, SOUND and TRAINS.
The GLOBAL sub-folder has Shapes and Textures sub-folders which contain items applicable to all routes, like track system shapes.
The ROUTES sub-folder can contain one or more routes, each with their own activities and sounds sub-folders..
The SOUNDS sub-folder contains those sounds applicable to all routes.
The TRAINS folder contains CONSISTS and TRAINSET sub-folders, the latter of which contains your rolling stock and various 'common' folders..

The root folder should not be in any of the Windows-created folders, like C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86).

The above may be a little simplistic but I hope it clarifies the hierarchy of an Open Rails/MSTS installation.

Cheers,
Ged

You may be right, after spending most of the day, in the emergency room I was quite tired and didn't fully read his post. I thought he said he had everything installed in the d:\programfiles (x86) folder. Your explanation is much clearer than mine. And I should have read it more thoroughly and gave a better explanation. Thank you for stepping in.

Hi jdgremsjr,
No problem, mate
We're all here to help each other!
I hope you weren't a patient in the emergency room, but you were, hope you soon recover!
