OK Jim, will give it a shot. :)
EDIT: Jim, I gave that a go but no luck sadly? I couldn't select Loughborough or Rothley as it just selected the whole model .xml, station buildings with the platform etc?
Best Regards

Hi Mike, read the first page of this thread and see my picture, if your track is like that then there is a link on the second page to a patch for version 2 of this route, which worked for me.

All the best, Richard

Thanks for reply Richard yes I have the same as the screen shot you posted, aftwer backing up my install I tried many things I have read all on this thread with no luck im running GCR V3.0.11 The latest, I understand you are running V2 should I have installed V2 first ?

I also have problems with platforms not showing I belive it's the APStation not installed so if any one knows were the two folders go in the APStation zip.

Forgot to add with regarding the points being with not making up the same as the rails I see a yellow box in the sky saying TEXTURE MISSING and yellow down the sides of the points (the yellow box in the sky is this a UFO)

Thanks for that Matt.

Just checked the installer and found some differences between that track pack you linked to. Updating the installer now and will send you the updated copy + upload to UKTS ASAP.

I think it is my mistake. I seem to remember having issues with the track when I first tested and so downloaded the files required and installed them in my "clean" version of railworks set up just for GCR. I normally then copy those files to the installer as soon as I have confirmed they work or fix what ever problem I am trying to resolve.

I think I must have forgotten to do that. Many apologise to those that have been inconvenienced. My mistake and nothing to do with Matt or Steam Sounds Supreme.

Just about to upload the update to UKTS and will send Matt the revised installed for his web site also.

Hi Mike140, not sure why you think I had version 2, I never had version 2 installed, I just used the version 2 patch on the version 3 route and it worked for me. It may not matter now as it looks like there may be a proper fix for the download.

All the best, Richard.

There looks to be lots missing in that picture - Is your detail level turned down in the game options?

EDIT: - sorry ignore that, it's not that you have anything missing, it's that your colours are vastly different to mine... I'm guessing you don't have TSX switched on, so everything looks overly bright, which confused me for a moment, it looked like there was too much grass on show, so something was missing :-?

Hi Firstborn yes I wished my GCR install was as good as yours, the funny thing is all the other routes are ok IOW, Falmouth, ect it's just the GCR route im having so much trouble with.

Have tried so many graphic setting TSX on and off for that screen shot all settings were on high,it's looking very much like I will just have to live with out GCR only hope the Svern Valley route works as I have spent many happy hours on it.

Thank you for all that replyed.

Mike.

I've downloaded and find that I can get the route to run, but there are no sleepers visible!!! Any thoughts?
