SDJR Act Problem

[slipperman12]

Hi Art,

There are also 2 other dowloads will they also be put into there correct place???

I don't understand "2 other dowloads", but If you are referring to the two locos in this download :

North Wales Coast 2-6-2 Fowler Tanks [6283548 bytes] - North Wales Coast Fowler Tanks.ZIP File ID: 28408 Date: 24 Feb 2012 - 339 Downloads

Yes, they will be installed into folder NWCS_Fowler_Tanks within your TRAINSET folder - but please don't worry about them! The important thing is that the included cabview will be placed into folder RF_Fowler_Cabs within the common.cab folder (which is within the TRAINSET folder!).
The great thing is that you don't have to fiddle around with any files - just run the North Wales Coast Fowler Tanks.exe file If you don't have file extensions displayed, it is the Application, not the Text Document!
Good luck

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged.
Yes thats them Cylinder Sounds good so i will forget them. One other thing i use Winzip so do i just extract to SDJR Trainset as i have to extract to some where???? Is there a backup to do????

Hi Art,

do i just extract to SDJR Trainset as i have to extract to some where???? Is there a backup to do????

You DON'T extract to anywhere! It's an executable file (.exe) which defaults to your 'normal' MSTS Train Simulator folder - if you are using the mini-route, you must change this to your SDJR Train Simulator folder. If you extract to the TRAINSET folder, you'll get a TRAINS folder inside the TRAINSET folder, which will really screw you up

Regarding backup - although you don't have to, it's always good practice to backup the folder you're changing in any way; in this case it'll be the TRAINSET folder within the SDJR mini-route (or your main TRAINSET folder if you're not using the Mini-Route option).

H Ged.
Sorry Mate to be a pain yes i do use the Mini-route so its Extract to - Somerset Dorset Joint Railway Train Simulator and back-up Trainset Folder??

[slipperman12]

Hi Art,
Yes, that should be OK BUT backup before you make any changes!
If your Mini-Route is on C drive, the path will be : C:\sdjr_MiniRoute\Train Simulator
If your Mini-Route is not on C drive, change the C to whichever drive it is on.

Hi Art,

Sorry to hear that
I think you must have been altering files within this route, because nobody else has these problems with cabviews!
I strongly suggest that you un-install the existing SDJR route - make sure all the files and folders have gone! - then re-install it. DO NOT modify ANYTHING.
If you want additional activities, install them and their respective stock, but please follow the installation instructions EXACTLY - again, do not change anything! If you then have problems, you can post full details on this Forum, and we'll all have a fair chance of helping you out

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Art,

That is good news that you have S&DJR running again now please promise no more altering the cabviews,because you don't like the view from it.
