Just today, I have had problems with Open Rails. I have the MSTS install and the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway Mini-Route installed, as well as others. When I go to any of the other installs, they load up regularly. However, when I try to load the MSTS install or the SDJR install, none of the rolling stock shows up. I can't run an activity or anything. Anyone else having this issue?

It's possible something is wrong with the install folder, or the Open Rails settings. Check the folder in Open Rails -> Options -> Content (could help if you share a screenshot) to verify that the settings for your SDJR are pointing to the correct location on your hard drive. And also go into file explorer to see if SDJR is actually installed where you think it should be. Could be something as simple as OpenRails thinking its on the D: drive but it's actually on the C: drive, or as awful as the install folder being deleted by windows doing something strange (hope it's not that).

What is the exact folder that you have everything installed in?

I keep everything but the MSTS install in a folder called "Train Data". The only change I've made is I've pointed Github at a directory in there for New Forest Route. But that shouldn't effect the MSTS install, or any other route for that matter. It's crazy that it's just those two.

I fixed the MSTS problem. It was pointed at the wrong directory. But the Somerset and Dorset still won't show anything. Here's the directory it's in:

I wonder what would happen if I removed all of the MSTS fluff from the SDJR folder and went with just the stuff Open Rails is looking for. Do you think that might work?

I think, it's not important - whether there will be MSTS stuff, or not.
Global directory should be just at the folder, You've pointed in Options.
So You could show to us C:\TrainData\SDJR folder's structure, if You would.



Here you go:

At this point it appears you do have the route but don't have any consists and/or locomotives. What's inside C:\Train Data\SDJR\TRAINS\CONSISTS and C:\Train Data\SDJR\TRAINS\TRAINSET?

They have the consists and the rolling stock that came with the DVD Rom I bought from Clive Heard on UKTrainSim. I still have the DVD Rom in the drawer beside my computer, even though I don't have a DVD drive to use it. I had to get an old computer and copy the DVD to my NAS so I could install it on my Windows 11 machine.
