Track Viewer not showing mini routes

[DugieD]

Hi friends,
I recently built a new computer and installed some of my old MSTS routes as mini's. I am not able to have any of them show in OR Track Viewer. I feel that I am missing a file in the mini folder that OR reads in order to produce the track layout. What file does OR use to create this track plan? Thank you!

OpenRails calls for Global and Routes architectures in each designated Mini-Route, so the track shapes/textures are intact. You would be better off laying track manually using TSRE. However, the OR Trackviewer only displays track database files (TDB) and route database files (RDB), the former of which you can create paths and activities.

Hi DugieD,
I think ZachBell4400 has mis-understood your post - I'm sure you're not creating a route!

After you've started Track Viewer, click on the 'File' tab, then 'Select Install Folder'. This MUST be the folder which contains the GLOBAL and ROUTES sub-folders. Very often, mini-routes have an additional folder 'above' that folder.

Cheers,
Ged
