Railworks America

Hi all;

I downloaded Bob' NERW - North Eastern Pa Div. and in the process of installing it I check to make sure all is complete. In running it through RW_Tools route check it came up with the following missing items:

C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Railworks\Assets\JeffLayf\Scenery\buildings\busscomniiow.bin (Scenery Item) on tile -000001+000000.bin

C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Railworks\Assets\SAD\GermanLocal\addon1\camping_tent3.bin (Scenery Item) on tile -000006+000000.bin
C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Railworks\Assets\SAD\GermanLocal\addon1\caravan1.bin (Scenery Item) on tile -000006+000000.bin
C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Railworks\Assets\SAD\GermanLocal\addon1\clothes_line.bin (Scenery Item) on tile -000006+000000.bin
C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Railworks\Assets\SAD\GermanLocal\addon1\funfare_highwheel_animated.bin (Scenery Item) on tile -000008-000001.bin
C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Railworks\Assets\SAD\GermanLocal\addon1\parasol1.bin (Scenery Item) on tile -000006+000000.bin
C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Railworks\Assets\SAD\GermanLocal\addon1\parasol2_warsteiner.bin (Scenery Item) on tile -000006+000000.bin
C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Railworks\Assets\SAD\GermanLocal\addon1\partytent1.bin (Scenery Item) on tile -000001+000000.bin

Included in the route load files is a text file showing known issues or missing asset items. Nothing is mentioned on these above asset items.

I have searched and cannot find the asset items to date.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards, Gerry

I don't have them either. I play NERW a lot and never noticed.
I guess they can be safely ignored.

The assets are only required (well, not really required, but it helps to make the scenario scenery correct) for the Balloons and Steam scenario by me. The route itself does not need those assets.

All assets are available in the Altenburg -Wildau v2 route by SAD.

I just D/L it today since I too was missing those assets. They don't appear to be there.

Hi all;

I did find out that the SAD\German Local\Addon1 asset items are from Koeb;itzer Bergland route, which is payware. I did download Altenburg -Wildau v2, but the addon1 folder was not included with those asset files.

The one item from Jeff Layfield (JeffLayF\Scenery\Building\busscomniiow.bin) appears to be a building of some kind and is referenced as a route scenery item 13 times. I found a lot of Jeff's stuff over at UKTS, but they are all either rolling stock or vehicles, so not sure where this item comes from.

However , the route does seem to run okay without them so it may be right that they are being flagged, but not needed, a false positive so to speak.

Jeff Laycock's model is a bus in Isle of Wight livery, so probably available on uktrainsim.com in one of his bus packs.

I have all of the listed SAD assets here, so they must have come from one of his routes, however I have no idea which one.

Missing assets don't make any difference to a route (unlike missing rolling-stock and other interactive objects). You can always use RW_Tools to either swap missing items for ones you have, or alternatively to delete the missing ones from the route altogether.

The NERW does not use any payware assets or it didn't until the US & UK asset packs went for sale. The sad/germanlocal/addon1 does not exist in the NERW asset package so I have no idea why it would be coming up missing. Except for what Frank said about him using them in a scenario.

Thanks all;

I have found the missing assets and although now I know they were not really needed for the route....all is working.

Thanks again, Gerry

Gerry,
Don't be keeping secrets. Where did you find them?

Hi Buzz;

The jeff Layfeild item was the modern buss pack over on UKTS (UKTS_21371_modbuses.zip). He puts his vehicles under buildings so that's were I got confused.

As to the German/Local/Addon1 asset items, reading on SAD Blog (older archived messages) it turns out that as I said they were included in Koeblitzer Bergland Route, done in 2011 and available as payware by Aerosoft. However, it appears that this route is no longer available, but and updated version is: Koeblitzer Mountains 3 (don't know if the Aaddon1 folder is included in this updated version).

I had the older copy when I was running European stuff when I first start on Railworks (it was Railsumulator then), but do longer as my focus is on Northern America routes only.

So I was lucky to have the older copy in my archives. Not sure since it is no longer available if the objects can be shared?

Regards, Gerry
