How to get trains into route ?

Geoffwright · Post by **Geoffwright** » Sun May 16, 2004 4:35 pm

I must be a bit thick or something, but I can't seem to see how to get the 323 train into the Birmingham X-City route I've just installed. The route's there OK, but it just says "Train not found" when I try to get going.
I've got BVE2.6.3 & the Birmingham route x-city-south, but don't seem to have the wretched 323 with it.
Anybody help ?
Thanks !

Download the 323 form http://www.bvetrains.co.uk -

http://www.bvetrains.co.uk/class323.html

Just like MSTS, the trains and routes are separate downloads.

If you've done this already, make sure the following folder exists - if it doesn't, then the unit may have been installed to the wrong place:

drive:\path-to-bve\Train\cl323

Well, thank you.
Still, did all that, fired it up, but now BVE fails on "subscript out of range", error 9 , or something.
Ah, well, dustbin job ......
This BVE isn't very user friendly, is it ?

Have you installed the English string.ini file? It's somewhere on the download page on Mackoy's site.

No, it isn't anymore. There is now an English BVE and a Japanese BVE to download. And the respective string.ini are included in the files. So it's now a lot much simpler! Either you download the Japanese or English version instead of downloading the Japanese version then replacing the String.ini with an English one.

Error 9 means large numbers of files missing - i'd guess it's a wrongly installed file, even with EXE installers there's always sometimes when people do it wrong...

Yes this BRR works a treat! takes all the effort out of missing trains
