Good Morning everybody. Still trying!

Not sure what I have done hear,

I have managed to get North Wales Coast V.2 working in MSTS but the Graphics are RUBBISH!

Is this not supposed to be run In OpenRails please?

Many thanks.

Good Morning everybody. Still trying!

This may be a bit off topic, but I'm glad to see you back.

Hi Paul
North Wales Coast was made in and for MSTS. That said, anything made for MSTS will run in Open Rails. There is in fact zero need to install MSTS, it is only useful in giving access to default items needed by routes and rolling stock. I have it installed but have not used it for over a decade now. None of the routes I use are installed in the MSTS folders. Each type of route has its own installation profile in Open Rails, for instance most of my Midland, LMS and BR Midland region routes are in an LMS profile, Welsh under Wales, Scottish under Scotland and unless there is an install.bat to run, no routes go anywhere near MSTS. I think your graphics problems might ne caused by the connection between your graphics card and the TV you are using as a monitor. YThere can be variations in quality between different HDMI cables.

It should be able to be run in OR.

Paul - a thought about your video problem. In doing a little research in frame rates, I recall some information about frame rates and TV/Monitor Refresh rates. Check your TV's refresh rate, should be in the manual or on a tag/plate on the TV and check that against the frame rate OR is set for. If different could be the cause of your problem.

Hello Mervin and Geary, thank you both for your replies'

I, also have not used for MSTS for many Years. Was quite surprised when NW Coast kicked in this Morning in MSTS Mode but Graphics were rubbish.

For whatever reason, I cannot get It ti run through OR_NewYear_MG.

will keep plodding on, must work eventually.

thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul,
Glad to see you're still here
What do you mean by "MSTS Mode"? As far as I am aware, there's no such option - you either run MSTS or you run Open Rails.
Please explain, mate.

No, it won't "work eventually" unless you fix the cause of the problem.

You say you have run "NW Coast this morning but the graphics were rubbish".
You also said that you haven't run MSTS "for many years" and that you cannot get it to run "through OR_NewYear_MG".
So, one question - how did you run NW Coast this morning? Full details would be helpful, mate.

Cheers,
Ged

Hello again.

All I am getting when trying to Install North Wales Coast Route Is:- "Data error (cyclic redundancy check)"
No way will It Install.

I think if I cannot replace the North Wales Coast Versions 1 or 2 the (Mini-Route) Version, then I've had It!

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul
I suspect you are installing the route from a CD/DVD because that error means it's having trouble reading the disk.
If the disk is not physically damaged (scratched or cracked), you could try cleaning it (gently so as not to scratch it!) and re-try it.

Cheers,
Ged
