Installed BIN but------

[landnrailroader]

Colleagues,

After repairs following a disk crash, I have reinstalled MSTS to the letter as described
in the Steam4Me site, I.e. installing on Win-7. I then updated MSTS, and then ran the
BIN setup. One of the first oddities I noticed is that in RE, the number of items retained
in the selection window has remained at 5 or so, rather than the several I would expect.
Any thoughts on this. And yes I am learning TSRE but for the moment I am finishing
up a route with RE and using TSRE for some alignment adjustments etc.

Did you copy the dll files from their language folder to the root folder of MSTS? I had forgot to do that a couple of times.

[landnrailroader]

The dll files were copied correctly but for some reason, the correct version of
Train.exe was not. I took the bull by the horns, so to speak, and copied a correct
version from a clone that had not been involved in the crash, while at the same
time saving the original, just in case. That worked and cleared the problem.
Someone had earlier asked if continued improvements were done and the answer
was, not after 7 years or so ago. I believe that Otto passed away a couple years
back as well, and TSRE is now the preferred editor and will be mine once I have
studied the various procedures. It has a difficult learning curve and I wish there
was a comprehensive manual for it.

If you are up to TSRE, then its about time you ran Open Rails as well.

[landnrailroader]

I use OR most of the time. However, it is not so great for testing a route as
pumping up the air takes (realistically) too long. So I set the charging rate
at a obscene value to over come that. Then the coordinate values are way
off those of either TSRE or MSTS, so I usually use MSTS to check a new
route. I have some minimal experience running real trains which is why I
say that the normal train line charging is realistic.

Doesn't initializing the brakes in OR using Shift-/ immediately fully charge the brake line?

[derekmorton]

yes it does
