missing .ace files

[niknak]

Reading back through the above posts it appears to me that maybe these two missing .ace files were originally on a CD rather than a DOWNLOAD ?

Hi Jdark34,
Yes, I'm sure we've all seen you mention the Cascades Crossing CD but over the last few years, when I've ordered a route from MLT, I don't recollect being offered a CD version. I may be wrong and, if so, I apologise.
Currently, v1.3 of the route is available. I only have v1.0/v1.0.1 and v1.2.

If John could post the OpenRails log, then we'd be able to see where those files should be!!

Cheers,
Ged

Which version on CD is that? Ver 1.0 does not have them, and apparently neither does v1.0.1 and v1.2. It's been some year now that MLT is download only so would not the CD be some years old now and an older version? Currently do not have my CD available to check, but they're not in my version of the download route which runs without error.
Also since it's been reported that the same textures were located in many files, that helps makes the case that they are rolling stock textures and not route, or perhaps part of some sort of add-on(?).

I don't have these textures on my system. And computers don't come with CD readers anymore

Hi yellowdog,
As I reported in post #14, I could ONLY find those textures in a number of ex-UKTS stock files; they are definitely NOT in any default MSTS routes or stock!
However, I have, subsequently, found them in the Australian Great Zig Zag route's GLOBAL and route TEXTURES folders.

the route is verison 1.3 after you order it MLT will send you the cd in the mail and it will shipped to your mailing address you will find two ace files on the rolling stock or locomotive. i hope this explains it. i order 4 routes from MLT its comes on a cd.

There has been a question as to where those ACE files are missing from and are they route files or trainset files. Since you have them on a CD, then you should be able to find the path to where they were installed. It would be helpful if you would report that info. BigJohn seems incapable of posting where they are missing from.

Side bar - How long ago was that. Not that it matters to me, but I ordered a Route from MLT less than a year ago and only got the download. Seems odd that their download would not include what's on their own CD.

After doing a search on my backup drive, I can confirm these textures do appear in the freeware Great ZigZag route, which can be found here:

as soon as i get a new computer i will find out what folder there in

[bigjohn]

Okay, guys. I accidentally lost or deleted the log file. I'm running the route to see which rolling stock made the error. I'll contact you later this week.
Thank's
John

[Jdark34]

did you find anything yet john?

Upon checking MSTS and OpenRails, I found no information about the ACE files. I also have not found consists with the offending ACE files, so sorry for this. Thanks for the help, I'll notify you when it occurs again.
