Railworks America

Hey guys, I don't play this game much more than occasionally but I recently picked it back up again to run some trains. When I did, I realized that after steam updated my install most of my add-ons were missing or messed up. After reinstalling everything all over again (and got it running good now, nice to have backups!) my two Rich Garber routes, Colton and Northern and Fort Smith will not show up anywhere. They are listed in RW editor but will not show up in TS2015. I have a few other add on routes too but they are fine, granted they are mostly DLC I bought from Steam. Any help with this would be great! I did a search online BTW and nothing like this turned up...Also, in the world editor (inside the game) I clicked on the Rich Garber assets on the little flyout menu but that didn't help either...

My Colton and Northern shows up. Look under the standard tab.

I bought Colton & Northern, Ohio Steel, and Fort Kent years ago, but I don't recall which ones came directly from Allaboard and which from RSC. They all show up (mirabile dictu in TS2015's user-unfieindly menu system, and with route pictures, although only Colton & Northern's route picture appears. Then again, a lot of route pictures are still missing thanks to RSC/DTG's inept programming.

It is not showing up under the standard tab on the menu. Not sure what the deal is...Any other ideas? Even tried a reinstall of the route and still nothing...

All of DTG route pictures show up here. I am no apologist for DTG/RSC but sometimes some of us are just way too fast to blame them when it's something to do with your installation that causes many of these issues. This is not pointed at anyone in particular but if the shoe fits.

Richard, This might be too simple, but select standard, then use the scroll column, on the right side of the routes listed, and see if you find them listed.

buzz456,

Not all of the DTG routes' thumbnails show up for me and many other people who have reported it on other forums. Perhaps they are routes that you don't have. It's not related to individual installation problems.

Bob.

I think I have just about all of the USA routes. I will change my comment to every route that I have from RSC/DTG shows up. The only one that doesn't is Stevens Pass-Canadian Mountain Pass which is from GNTX.

Make sure they ARE the correct route folders by opening the RouteProperties.xml and checking the name.

I fix things.

Bingo. The man has hit the brass ring and wins the prize!

Well I'll be damned! Thank you so much! I feel kinda stupid and while I wasn't blaming the sim for this, I still think that the menu is not quite as user friendly as I could be. Thanks for the help and for your patience everyone.

I think that's been covered ad nauseam.

At first I didn't like the menu but after using it for a while it is a joy to use. Forget about the past gents and enjoy the present and future.

In my opinion it is not a "joy to use". It is a real PITA. Okay if you're running only DLC but otherwise very clumsy.
