What is the latest version of Open Rails. Once open rails is installed. Can I use routes and Locomotives, rolling stock from Microsoft train simulator. I have Microsoft train simulator installed, but won't play on my new windows 11 laptop. So I want to install open rails. Any particular place in C drive it needs to be installed. Thanks in advance.

It's best to install it in it's own root folder.
c:\1_openrails is a good place for it. The 1_ will filter it to the top of the list.
Openrails only, nothing else in the folder because it will be damaged when OR updates.
I don't know where you installed MSTS but if it's in the programs(86) folder move it to it's own root folder like C:\01Trains.
Just move the Global, Routes, Sound and Trains folders, You can leave the rest alone. You may want the registry entries at some time.
Otherwise you'll have a nightmare trying to do any edits to the content.
Latest stable version is 1.5.1 --- found on above web site.

Once you get OR installed, use Options/Content tab to point OR to your msts content --- I strongly suggest opening the OR manual and get accustomed to using it...it is searchable and has answers to all your questions. OR manual can be found on the OR website and in the Documentation folder in the stable version.
There are many routes here in the library --- search both the MSTS section and the OR section. The BNSF scenic ( donated by TrainSimulations ) comes complete with equipment, activities and route.

I did use a route from mats, and went to open rails and the new route I installed into msts ran great. So that's solved. I'll go and look for some freeware routes Thanks everyone
This is the official home of Open Rails with news and links to content, vendors and the community. Open Rails is a totally free train simulator that supports the world’s largest range of rail content.
