Installed Open Rails. Doesnt work

[IronRoosters]

I installed Open Rails on my new Windows 11. On my windows 10, it automatically covered MSTS, Routes,Locomotives,Cars and Activities. Installed Open rails covers nothing. Nothing I have installed is under open rails. Whats wrong?

Have you "pointed" the new ORTS installation to your content folders?

[IronRoosters]

Im not sure what "pointed" means

[ossie]

When you set it up the first time you need to tell it where you content folders are. If you've got nothing showing where the red arrow is, then you need to go to options, then content, then use the add button to show it where your content folder is located on your PC.

In OpenRails 1.6, it is not OPTIONS, but directly CONTENT, MANUAL, NEW.

I'm unable to update to OpenRails1.6 because of my hardware limitations. I do use OpenRails.ini file in my OR 1.3 and OR 1.4 and have no problems with different OR iterations. The OpenRails.ini file allows me to retain the Content route info. OpenRails.ini contains the OR Content info (your routes and locations). Could IronRosters benefit from setting up an OpenRails.ini file? Does updating to OR 1.61 retain existing an OpenRails.ini file? If not, can you just copy an OpenRails.ini into the OR 1.6.1 folder?

Sorry but there is no"ADD" button\

You were told in post #5 that

In OpenRails 1.6, it is not OPTIONS, but directly CONTENT, MANUAL, NEW.

One of the changes from 1.5 to 1.6.

Does updating to OR 1.61 retain existing an OpenRails.ini file? If not, can you just copy an OpenRails.ini into the OR 1.6.1 folder?

It would be worth trying.

I run 3 versions of OR, MG, unstable and 1.6.1, all with separate ini files.
