Did you install trainstore as recommended. Without it Dorset Coast can take up to 25 minutes to load and may appear to hang. Its included on the CD. Browse the CD and look for a folder called Trainstore.

If you have installed trainstore, have you checked your settings against the recommended list. In particular, textured skies must be selected in options and you may need to turn quantity of sounds to medium.

Have you got other routes installed too?
Try reinstalling the tsection.dat file (found on the front page)
Have you checked all your settings?

Try this first - if that doesnt work we'll have another think.

i downloaded the tsection.dat and placed the global file and now when i load a acitivity on train store msts want allow you to click on drive a train on the main menu

Thats because everything is now stored. When you are using trainstore you should start MSTS from the easytrainstore screen - select the route and activity you want and click on run, msts will start automatically with the activity you have selected ready loaded.

Does it still happen if you try and run one of the default routes activities?

Still cant see those pictures clearly im afraid

but i assume that drive a train is greyed out?

Did you run the install.bat file in the dorset coast route folder? If you didnt do an unstore all to reload everything and run the file. If you did run the batch file im now a bit baffled since its worked ok for me everytime ive installed it. All i can suggest is to triple check all your settings again.

ok thanks i'll retry the install.bat. was i supposed to put the tsection i downloaded into the dorset coast file aswell as the global or not
