    Route Path Help Please

    I could use a little help. Recently I downloaded both sections of the MSTS route, Milwaukee Road Coast Division, Subs 1 and 2 (mcoa1 and mcoa2). I assembled and installed both according to directions. The first segment runs well in Open Rails (ver. 1.6.1, X64). There is something wrong with the second part, however. No starting or ending points are provided. The ORTS Track Viewer will not open the route, nor will the Log File self-update to show the route. RouteRiter just says some shape files are missing (fixed).

    I note that the route's TRK file does show a starting point, "RouteStart ( -12861 14715 72 -112 )," but this doesn't seem to matter.

    Again, the first stretch (mcoa1) is working fine, so I must have all the necessary track systems and other prerequisites installed. Any ideas how to bring the second part on-line? Thanks to all.

    My copy of the Route has two paths provided and opens in OR1.4 for Explore only, there are no Activities or Services.
    Guess if the Route won't open to run OR there won't be a log for it.
    Seems to me that the Route did not install completely. Are the two paths in the Path folder?

    Edit - My copy is 1.8GB in size.

      Kent-2,

      I believe there is a combined route in the library. Those two, mentioned, were the way that I created the Coast Division but If I remember right, Lukas Lussar then combined them into one route, connected at Cle Elum. I know he did that with the RMD1/2=RMDEast, and RMD3/4=RMDWest. In any case, what I would do is delete the contents of the path, activity, traffic, and I believe the other is service folders.

        Open Rails Track Viewer (Contributed)_ Milwaukee R.png Mapper — mlwcoa2 2026-09-17 05.59.18.png Update: I discovered that the TBD file for Sub 2 does contain the entire route, as displayed with the "Mapper" utility. So I tried using the Open Rails Track Viewer again, and this time it worked. I then opened the Path Editor option and created a new path with both start and end points. Success (of sor ts). The new points are unnamed, but the Second Sub route now loads and is playable.
        I still can't figure why no default path showed up.
        Thanks to those who offered suggestions.
