TSRE5 Consist Editor not Loading Properly

[crstagg]

The selected folder is displayed in green. I have no options like load or exit showing at the bottom.

Cannot help you then. Experimenting I have found that if the selected folder has a Trains sub-folder then it displayed in green and there was a LOAD button. But when the selected folder did not have a Trains sub-folder then the folder displayed in red and there was no Load button. So there must be some other criteria. Does the Trains sub-folder of your selected folder have sub-folders of Consists and Trainset?

My train folder has consists and trainset. I am getting a very weird error as the entire bottom portion of TSRE5 is black and there is no option to load or exit.

Hi brandond100,
if you've got the 'root' folder displayed in green, look towards the bottom of the screen.

There you should see a line "Consists:" showing the number of consists found and, below it, a line "Rolling Stock:" showing the number of stock folders (dirs). Below that should be a long green bar with "Load" at its centre and a short red bar with "Exit" at its centre.

Maybe if you've got the screen resolution set to some 'odd' value, you may not see the bottom of the display, in which case, you'll need to scroll up! If that's not the case, exactly what do you see as the bottom 3 lines of the screen? Also, which version of TSRE are you using (it's shown at the very top left of the screen)?

Cheers,
Ged

The screen is just black at the bottom. I have a screenshot too, but I have no idea how to share it here. I have tried using the latest version of TSRE5 as well as some older version too, but same issue persists.

Thanks for the advice. I changed the resolution and now I am able to load the route. I have created and saved consists using TRSE5 ,but unable to view them in open rails.

You tell us a little information then, something that sounds like a question, but you never tell us enough information to answer. Thus we have to ask more questions.

What kind of consists? What are you doing to try to view the consists? How many MSTS/OR installs do you have? Are you trying to view the consists in the same install that you created the consist in?

3 Types of consists:
Only wagons/carriages - can only be "seen in OR" if used/placed on a siding in an activity.
Engines w/o a cabview plus wagons and carriages - can only be "seen in OR" if used as an AI in an activity or placed on a siding in an activity.
Engines with a cabview plus wagons/carriages - can be seen when selected in the explore route mode or as the Player in an activity.

How are you trying to 'view' them in OR?
