MSTS will not start

Post by thegeneral1 »

Everything was working before I loaded Brighton Express. I did notice that I was not asked for a registration Key! MSTS then would not start- just told me it had to close. I uninstalled Brighton Express and it still will not start.The activity editor will start ok. Is this situation terminal or is there something I can do? Please can anyone help?

Many thanks indeed it has worked. What do you think will happen if I load Brighton Express again?

If you load it again, your tsection will be overwritten again, and your will need to download it again.

That no problem Mark.

As a rule of thumb, allways install the lastest tsection after installing a new route, as usually it is overwritten.
