Your MSTS Installation and Custom Installations for Open RailsOpen Rails reads only the content folders in each of the MSTS installationsyou choose to identify for it and will do so without modifying any of thosefiles. None of the MSTS program folders are used and no changes to the MSTSdirectory tree are required.Open Rails may also be used to read a non-MSTS directory structure that youcreate.This document uses the term Root Folder to designate the parent folder of anyMSTS or OR-Specific directory tree (.e.g, Train Simulator is theRoot Folder for MSTS). Consists Paths Services Shapes Sounds Textures Terrtex Tiles Traffic Trainset WorldOpen Rails uses a file parser to read the MSTS files and will locate manyerrors that are missed or unreported by the MSTS software or by otherutilities. In most cases, the Open Rails software will ignore the error in thefile and run properly. Open Rails software logs these errors in a log file onthe user’s desktop.

This log file may be used to correct problems identifiedby the Open Rails software. The parser will also correct some of the problemsthat stumped MSTS. For example, if a texture is missing Open Rails willsubstitute a neutral gray texture and continue.

ActivitiesMany passenger and freight activities created using the MSTS activity editorrun without problems in Open Rails.Some Activities created using the MSTS activity editor will have slightlydifferent behavior as compared to running in MSTS. This is often due toslightly different train performance resulting from differences in how eachsimulator handles train physics.A few activities fail to run at all.

This appears to be due to the creativityof Activity Designers who have found ways to do things wholly unanticipated bythe Open Rails Team. As these are discovered the Open Rails team will recordthe bug for future correction.

GLOBALSHAPESMany routes use specific track sets, like XTRACKS, UK-finescale etc.Routes which solely use such sets do not need any of the original MSTSfiles from GLOBAL, as all required files come from the relevant track set.These sets can be downloaded from many Train Sim forums. There are also manyroutes using super-sets of the original MSTS track sets. These routes willneed some or all the files contained in the SHAPES and TEXTURESsubfolders within the GLOBAL folder of your MSTS installation.

Just a few days ago, the standardized TSECTION.DAT file was upgraded to Build 42. There have been many conflicting reports that the clearance distances for various points (turnouts) are causing problems with some routes, especially older routes of all kinds and a fair number routes set in the UK. The simplest fix seems to be to use TSECTION.DAT Build 38 in the main MSTS “Global” folder for routes that have issues with Build42. Build 38 also works with a large number of freeware and payware routes, but it’s not “one-size-fits-all” by any means.How do you know that Build 42 breaks a route? The most common is an “Activity ended – Ignored red signal” message when you pass a green signal on a turnout. If you watch the train pass the signal from outside the cab, you’ll see the signal change from green to red just in front of your locomotive as you pass it.

Other issues can be with AI’s; they may get stuck at signals where they didn’t before, or have problems with their paths.Manually switching out TSECTION.DAT files is a bit of a pain. The must-have utility Train Store can change them out automatically for you once you set up that feature. Train Store can be downloaded and.The trickier part is getting a hold of TSECTION.DAT Build 38 itself, but it’s not too hard. The main trainsim sites try to keep only the latest version in their file libraries; normally this would be best practice. If you have older payware routes, some may include Build 38. XTracks version 3.20 includes it. This is the latest version of XTracks in the file libraries of.

If download XTracks, you should be able to extract it. Just run the installer and point the install location “dummy” empty MSTS folder or temp folder and let it run, then copy the TSECTION.DAT file and uninstall/delete the rest.) Open the TSECTION.DAT file in a text editor and you will see the version given in the header of the file.For those who aren’t so fortunate as to have a copy of Build 38 on hand or want a quick solution, here is a zipped copy:This entry was posted in,.
