    For A Limited Time: The Ozark Northern route...

    Andre Ming here of V Scale Creations.

    Just uploaded my former commercial product, the Ozark Northern exe file (containing the route, equipment, and some activities), to Wormhole for a hobbyist that is interested in trying the route.

    I have decided to make this public so those of you that would like to have a copy of the route can also download the route within the remaining time of the 24 hours or the 100 download limit that Wormhole allocates.

    The password for the exe is: pinpuller

    The current EULA included within the route is in effect until I update it at a later date.

    About the route:

    The Ozark Northern is a proto/free lanced standard gauge route set in Ozarks in 1893. The route is about 30 or so miles long. The line runs through a rugged portion of the Ozarks (used DEM to create the terrain). The exe file also contains the needed equipment and activities and will also install those into the installation location of your choice. The line features heavy grades and definitely has its own personality.

    The link below will be good for 24 hours or 100 downloads. I just uploaded it a few minutes ago. Here is the Wormhole link:

    Wormhole lets you share files with end-to-end encryption and a link that automatically expires.


    If you would like to take a look at a video that was produced eons ago by Nick Ozorak, here's a link to that:



    I hope some of you find enjoyment in the route.

    All fer now.

      A very generous gesture Andre, thank you.

      btw I found that the password wasn't needed during the install.

        As someone who already had a copy, this is probably one of the finest routes made for MSTS.

            You're welcome, Nick!

            Hm. Could be I recompiled it in the distant past so that the password was no longer required? (Over the years I have shared this route many times with individuals that were financially strapped.) Either that, or your computer is REALLY smart!

              Thanks for your kind words, Parker.

              It is always gratifying for others to receive enjoyment from one's creation.

                Curious:

                Are any of you having issues downloading and/or installing the route?

                One person has indicated they had an issue in their attempt to download from Wormhole.

                    I'm enjoying running the route vey much Andre but just have a small query. It looks like there should be one AI train in the 'IntroRide1 'activity but nothing shows up, either Ctrl+9 map or Alt+F9 Train list or the game itself.

                    No errors regarding this are shown in the OR log.
                    Regards,

                      Hi Andre,
                      Many thanks for making Ozark Northern available to us

                      I've only started one activity (Passenger Run) but it runs OK in Open Rails.
                      I, too, didn't need to use the password!

                      Cheers,
                      Ged

                          My computer will not let it through. It keeps flagging a trojan on it.

                          UPDATE: Turning off real time protection with your firewall seems to fix this issue.

                            I'm running Windows 11. Windows Defender blocked the download for me with the message "Virus Detected." Windows Defender dialog box identified the threat as Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml

                              I also run Windows 11 and update Windows Defender twice a day. Last update was 14.00 GMT today. Nothing amiss was found when I downloaded the route.
