Hi
Welcome to the forums.
Nearly always the problem will be the global Tsection file.
This gets over written by an older copy and stops msts loading.

TSECTION.DAT build 31 [209435 bytes] - tsection31.zip File ID: 6698 Date: 01 Oct 2005 - 8938 Downloads

Cheers

so what shall i do were can i find this file

Hi
Just click the arrow above...........download the file and place it in your global folder ....which is inside your trainsim folder.
There is also a readme with the download, which explains all.
Cheers
Jon

ah thank you right lets install msts for the 3rd time today lol

many thanks

Hi
I said similar a while back.
The problem is that an addon that requires a newer Tsection has to include it.
However over time this becomes an out of date Tsection.
What is really needed is an intelligent installer which can read the Tsection and check if its already newer.

Which is exactly what the Making Tracks installers do... The problem arises when LBE or WCW as an example, which contain TSection.dats due to their individual trackpieces, are installed, overwriting the newer TSection...
