What do you mean by charles

When you open open rails, on the front screen lower middle is a box labeled "content", here you give OR the location of the route.

Read the Manual. Have you bothered looking at what is behind the Documentation button on the menu window?

I still have trouble because it's an MSTS mini route and I'm new to installing MSTS mini routes so that's why I asked

Doesn't need anything special for OR. Just have a Folder setup like for any other Routes would have.

Here's my folders:

The folder for the route is obviously in Routes.

I keep them in my routes folder, but they wont work

I just redownloaded it and ran the installation; You have to create a new folder just for this route, as instructed in the readme file. Been a few years since I originally did it, so didn't remember how I installed it. It creates it's own sub folders needed for the route to run. Cannot be in folders with other routes.
This route has to be installed in it's own folder - named whatever you want. Then point OR to that folder in OPTOINS > Content - selecting your new folder. Then it should be able to be run.

In my case it's pointing to the OR-PRR folder as pictured in post 7.
Everything should be in you new folder as picture: ( except for File_ID.DIZ, Open Rails Keyboard.txt, Train.txt and the Tracks folder, I added those & maybe the Readme.txt that will be in the folder after unzipping the file ).

[UPx8444]

Oooh so everything but the tracks folder Train.txt Open Rails Keyboard.txt and File_ID.DIZ needs to be in the folder right?

[frliss]

Every file you mentioned-except Keyboard.txt-is included in the ZIP archive. You need to run trains.exe to generate the full set of trains. I believe the keyboard layout is covered in the instruction manual. The manual is normally available through the OR website, but the site happens to be down at the moment.

PS- When running OR the F1 key will give you the latest key functions.

Hi Geary,
I think your screenshot is very confusing and/or out of date.
The current version of the installer creates the following :

PRR-after-install.jpg
There is no Tracks folder, Open Rails Keyboard.txt or Train.txt or, even, Trains.exe as mentioned in Fred's post.
The TRAINS folder contains the required consists and stock.
TRAIN.EXE is a dummy file to enable Route_Riter to run.

Cheers,
