Airedale

I've downloaded it, and it refuses to appear in MSTS.

done the copy thing in the readme, and still no.

so i try to make an activity for it, since i know it won't appear without any services and stuff. i do this, and get the following message:

"Service (Bradford to Skipton) using invalid platorm. Both track items are invalid"

then the same again, then:

"Error Reading train database file

File: Trains\Consists\Metrocl321.con"

What is going on here? Help!

All you need is a Path set up - you don't need a service or an acitivity to be saved.

In AE, create a New Activity in AireDale, create a new Service, create a new Path - Save the Path but exit out of everything else.

SHould be OK then

i know: i get that stuff before i can even create a path. right after it asks me for a name for the activity

i get the same issues with the underground one from t-s.com, and the same with woodhead. i can explore woodhead, though, it just won't let me do activities

the first thing i get is "failed to read track database"

a rough guess...have you copied the textures from uk finescale to the airedale folder? i forgot to do that.

what did you do? As Woodhead author I'm interested to know why you can't create activities for it. Though I wouldn't bother doing any more for V1.1 as V2.0 is getting closer (signalling to do next!)

well, my woodhead problems are with all activities, the ones i download don't work, and it comes up with a load of rubbish when i try to open AE. i don't understand it, i'll just wait for v2!

looks good in explore route though.

oh, i ran the finescale program after installing the route, and it went fine. probably something to do with tsection.dat!

People build complete routes with paths, services, activities, consists etc. I usually delete these to avoid error messages- the sim may look for a service or consist that you do not have.

thanks for the advice,after deleting the services i now only get"failed to load track database"error in activity editor,but the route still does not show in the game.so deleting the services has eliminated all but one error.
cheers-rich
