Not sure why people have been saying this over the year but from the first time I installed MSTS it put it in Programs (x 86) and that's where I've had it since.

I'm starting to wonder something. If this is the first thing that Im_tired does he have the correct folder structure in the right place, is he using MSTS or Open Rails, can he get anything to run on any other route?

Hi, Paul!

Not Program files, but USER's folders are prevented by windows after 7 for program to write data.
Same for MSTS's filein/fileout dumps.

According to profile, that's SHE

Ya, sorry, I have my Open Rails on a Windows 7 computer that's no longer on the internet!

I'm guessing this is something simple, like wrong file structure.

I have got series 3000 and Pendennis MSTS default AI locos in "missing" state with ORTS due to #comments and some mistakes, ignored by MSTS before.

[charland]

I had the same problem with a few of the older Penn Central engines I used for AI traffic on the CRKB_FJG route recently.

I just installed FJ&G 20, the one I posted to the library in 2008. It runs fine as is in Open Rails.

So, we need to know from Im_tired a couple of things.

1... Where have you got the engine installed. It would be really nice if you opened the folders to the location of the engine, take a screen shot and include the path in the address bar at the top. Open every folder including the one that has all the files like the Eng and SD files.... please.

2... have you installed any other routes and can you run anything on them?

3... Just one more... are you running MSTS or Open Rails?

Paul :-)

The original S2 set as Steve shows, does not conform to your later method of zips. To get the original set you have to run the exe file contained in the zip which is set to extract to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\TRAINS\TRAINSET\FJ&G S-2s

To im_tired
As I do not know exactly what you have done so far, look in the folder that you extracted the zip file into. There you should see the exe file. Run that and then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\TRAINS\TRAINSET where you should find the FJ&G S-2s folder. Move that into your own trainset folder and the engines should no longer show as missing.

I tried to follow these directions and still had the issue. I have linked a recording of me going through the process if you can point out where I went wrong. Also note that my installation of Open Rails and MSTS is not on the same drive as Windows.

To answer your questions...
I downloaded the ZIP file to my downloads folder, and extracted to the same location. File paths should be visible in the link from my last post here but if not let me know and I can get screenshots.

I have not installed any routes besides the FJ&G. So far though I have been able to run the FJ&G, just with built in locomotives from MSTS.

I am running Open Rails v1.5.1

At least, consists, calling them are in place and readable.
In fact, that may be some other consists, looking for said locomotive in folder(s), it actually absent, being installed into some othe place...

[charland]

Try this, Change the name of the folder from "FJG_S2s" to "FJ&G_S2s". I just installed the s2 file here and then had a look at the Consists provided and the Consist is looking for a folder with the "&" in it.

It's been a while, 15 years. My first route, took 2200 hours to build including a month to try to get my first locomotives running!

Unfortunately no luck.
