    Good Morning, Paul.
    To get rid of trees on the track, add the following line to the Mersey.trk file, before the end close bracket :
    ORTSUserPreferenceForestClearDistance ( 3 )
    The number indicates the number of metres from the track which should be clear - it can be whatever you require.

    Need more information regarding the "No coal in tender" problem. I think I have found the loco - LMS Compound 1111 (LMS4P02), but it looks OK - maybe it's the wrong one?

    Cheers,
    Ged

          Hi Paul,
          Sorry i can only find TrackGauge ( 0 )
          YOU need to add the line!
          Go to the bottom of the file and find line : TempRestrictedSpeed ( 6.7056 ). Place your cursor just after the close bracket and press <ENTER>. This will create a new line with the cursor at the beginning of it. Now, type this EXACTLY : ORTSUserPreferenceForestClearDistance ( 3 ) then press <ENTER> and save the file.

          With this new ORTSContent system Where do I Place the APK Icon for "King George V Goes To Butlins" please?
          The simple answer is, "Wherever you like"!
          If you are using APKExtractor to unpack .apk files, it will attempt to find the required route otherwise you must tell it the installation folder containing the required route.

          Cheers,
          Ged

            Paul = APKExtrcator is a standalone program, used for any .APK file you might need to open. Just put it in a folder, name of your choice and leave it there, for use as needed.
            Just verify that you have associated it to all .apk files, as previously posted. Then by clicking on any .apk file will open the program automatically.
            We went through that procedure some time back, so I hope you still have it set up.

              Having just recently started with this ORTSContent programme I am most surprised with the results.

              I have Installed The default Routes Plus some Seven Routes which I have always had Installation Issues with.

              I Have Now Installed, Run & completed Seven of my favourite Routes all with no problems.

              However, thought It was to good to be true, I have come unstuck with Route No.8 "Cambrian Coast"

              Crashes to Desktop after about 25-30 Minutes.

              Have Added a Log File and hope some help Is out there please?

              Many thanks

              Paul.

                That crash is exactly the same as the one you had running Dorset 6, not sure what the cause could be now. I will go ask someone higher up the pay chain.
                Beer is not a matter of life or death, it is much more serious than that.

                  Hi Baldwin, thanks for reply.

                  I have run Dorset 6 on this new ORTSContent programme and it ran the Dorset Coast Route V.6 In One go, non-stop error free.

                  Thanks

                  Paul.
