Hi

is there an upgrade for the above route for running in Openrails?

The acts run okay but some of the rolling stock is missing?.

The rolling stock that runs with MSTS will run under ORTS.
MSTS_Actman by Ged is available here, it will show you whats missing.

All activities run correctly under ORTS on my machine.

No upgrade for OR. WP3 was developed when OR was already available. I beta tested it on both MSTS and ORTS. Had a system which had never had MSTS installed. Installed ORTS, created an ORTS folder structure, added WP3 and found all it needed from MSTS was the DieselSmoke.ace file added to the Global/Textures folder. My testing found that WP3 worked well in either sim.

If you have missing rolling stock, don't blame WP3 or ORTS.

How do you know the rolling stock is missing?

Do you have the default MSTS rolling stock installed? If not that might be what you think is missing.

Sure about that? If ORTS was available in November of 2007, then it was a very well kept secret. WP3 was developed when MSTS-BIN was the next big thing.
But Charles is right, WP3 was so vastly ahead of it's time that it functions very well in OR without the usual MSTS assets.

If there are some pieces of stock missing, check the log to see if there are any clues as to why they didn't load. A basic install of WP3 should bring in all of the necessary stock.

I seem to remember that some white hopper cars weren't showing in OR. Had to change something in the .wag file to correct that. I'll check later if I remember this correctly.

Run MSTS ActMan by ged saunders ( slipperman ) to find out exactly what is missing, if anything. File ID 88402

The problem must be on your side, I guess daniellouwrens . Just installed the route with the original installer (version 1.06). All stock is showing correctly, so the issue I remember must have been with some 3th party stock.

Hi guys. Thanks for your input. I'll run actman and see what it indicates. I am away at the moment and will have a look when I get home.

regards

Hi

I ran All Acts through Actman and the result was "nothing to report." with both OR checked and un checked.

I'll give the route and acts a run through Route Riter

Hi Daniel,
A couple of days ago, Charles asked : "How do you know the rolling stock is missing?", but you've not given an answer!

If the stock is not used in any activity, the "Check All Activities" (or "Check Selected Activity") option in ActMan won't show if it's missing - in that case, you can always run the "Check All Consists" option; this 'looks' at all consists, whether they are used in any activities or not, and will report any missing stock.

Cheers,
Ged

Now that you mention it. No. Guess I was thinking of when I was beta testing the Cheyenne Route. After I installed Cheyenne on a "clean" (no MSTS) install and found it worked well w/o a Train.exe, I did the same for WP-3. Guess Joe Smith was correct when he said my initials stand for Can't Remember $hit.

Have kept all my beta testing files on an external HD. And YES, Daniel, there was an update for WP-3. But it also was released only a few months after the original and was not because of ORTS.

Daniel,
The reason I asked, "How do you know?" was because I expected you to say I tried to run XYZ activity, and the OR log reported missing rolling stock, or you saw gaps in the consists.

I have since used ConBuilder to test consists in all the "Original" activities and no errors were found. (Knew I would not find any because that is one of the things I did when beta testing.) So if you were running one of the "Original" activities (FYI the filename should begin with "3DT-") post that ACT file to this thread. If it is an aftermarket activity, post the ZIP filename.

Hi Charles

by missing I mean it does not show as a part of the train, the marker for "Player" shows and moves with the train but no train is seen
I will have another go and check OR LOG when I get a chance,

Which activity? Or is it an loco only Player consists? Assuming you mean the entire consist is missing.

Some screen shots would also be helpful to understand what you are seeing. Any suggestions are simple best guesses otherwise.
