    Downloaded BLW Engines Not Showing in OR.

    I purchased the BLW GP35 East Package. It Installed and Shows Up in TSRE But the Engines Aren't Showing Up In OR. What am I Doing Wrong?

    Most of my BLW purchases had consists with the install, so perhaps they're just not in a directory that ORTS sees?
    If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!

      Are the BLW engines and their consists installed in the same " trains " directory as the ones that do show up in your Orts in the " Contents " in options for the various routes ?

        TSRE sees the engines and lets you create consists for OR.
        OR doesn't see the engines it'll only see consists.
        Have you created any consists for the new engines?

          Yes they are in the Same Directory. They do Show up in the Engine List and in the Activity. However the Only Thing that Show is the Nose and Front of the Locomotive. No Cab!

            Randy,
            I Deleted the Original Locomotives in the Consist. Then I Placed the Newer Units in the Consist. However When I Click Save and Recheck the Consist the Replacement Units are Gone!

              Do you see the engine in external views? Or is this just from cabview, as it sounds like a missing cabview file then.
              A screen shot would be helpful to understand what you are seeing or not..

                So, what does your OR log have to say about these missing engines?

                  The Engine Shows Up in #2 View. It's a BLW Download. But there's no Inside Cab View. Just the lo-Hood and handrails.

                    You don't have a cabview installed.

                      BLW products come with an installer which installs the cab and sounds at the same time that it installs the locomotives. The cab goes into Common.Cab\BLW_Cab
                      If you move that folder, or if you delete it, then you won't have a cab view. But you'll probably still see the handrails and the hood....

                        That's What Happened. Both BLW Cab & Sound Files we're Buried in the Folders with Other Files. When I Moved them to the Main File I Got Everything Back. Now The Cab View & Sounds are Working Properly.
