TrainSulations

[bigjohn]

F:\ F:\OpenRails, When you press the OR icon, it opens, but to a route that does not exist, and that is it, nothing else.
Where are the route folders, train folders, etc?
F:\ F:\trainsumulations, all folders are in place.
I hope this explains this monkey of a thing

Are they actually in the F folder on the F drive?
Does ORTS know this?

Orts is in the F drive in Program Files (x86), under Open Rails. In this folder are the major operating files

When you press the OR icon, it opens, but to a route that does not exist, and that is it, nothing else.

Have you placed your Route Installs ( folders ) into "CONTENT" under OR's OPTIONS?

files trainsmulations/docs, global,gui, routes, sound, textures, trains(content trainset)
Open-Rails main folder in drive C (content and a lot of other things), this is where all things Open-Rails are.

OpenRaIls should NOT be in Program Files(x86). That is likely your problem right there. The OpenRails folder should be a folder in the root drive--e.g. C:\OpenRails. I keep my content in another folder in the root drive--e.g., C:\1MSTS.

When you open OpenRails, the Installation Profile should point to the Routes folder containing the route(s) that you want to run, in my case, that is usually 1MSTS. However, I keep the TrainSimulations folder as a subfolder of 1MSTS. In that situation, to run one of those routes, I change the drop down selection in Installation Profile to TrainSimulations because that is the Routes folder that contains my TrainSimulations routes.

So, in my example, the actual path for a route found in the C:\1MSTS\Routes directory would be C:\1MSTS\Routes\Cima Sub; while a route in the C:\1MSTS\TrainSimulations folder would be C:\1MSTS\TrainSimulations\Routes\MRL Mullan Pass .

My Ver. of OR Program files are in the Program Files(x86) folder, where it has been installed by default on four different computers, and works just fine since first installed in 2020, so I do not think that is a problem. My Content sets are in their own folders on an aux. drive and not having any issues.

I made a mistake Trainsimulations is in the root of drive F:\. Otherwise, it is as said in the above text. This thing has worked for a long time, and just the other day it started this old MSTS-style thing.

Big John - Can't understand your file structure so do not know where to even begin. What you have said is very confusing. Perhaps a screen shot of the files/folders from File Explorer might help to understand where you have your folders.

Man, I don't know how to upload files. Upload Attachments is not downloading my file structures.
disk drive F:\TrainSimulations\ (Global, GUI, routes, sound, textures, trains.) These are the files in the F:\ drive under the traimsimulations folder
disk drive C:\ OpenRails folder where OpenRails main folder is located

It couldn't get any easier to upload attachments.... just drag and drop over the "Upload Attachments" portion of the screen --OR-- click on the "Upload Attachments" button and find the file you want to attach to a post.

It won't upload a folder or file structure, though. You'll need to take a screenshot first. Try the PrintScreen button on your keyboard and open up Paint or another editor, and paste the screenshot. Save it. Upload it.

This is a standard OR Contant Folder structure, they must be separate from the OR program folders ( which seems to be what you have ):

These are the only folders needed and all contain the standard MSTS sub folders and files.

If using an MSTS install then the other folders will be found, but are not needed for OR.

Then when running OR, these folder sets need to be put into CONTENT in order for OR to find them.

My options folder does not have a content tab as yours does

Using Ver 1.4 and know Ver 1.5 is the same, so don't know what to tell you.
