MSTS Editors & Tools

Post by wyefielder »

I seem to be getting a bit of a problem when trying to build a consist, When scrolling down to add a steam loco the drop down section
goes blank, similar to a screen or shield dropping down to where the loco's should show, everything else is ok eg. diesels,goods and passenger, anybody help ?

You have a faulty loco.

MSTS cannot display the details or the thumbnail.

Try removing any loco you have installed recently until the editor works.
Then put them back one at a time until you find the problem loco.

Do not delete anything.


Just move all the steam locos installed since you first noticed the problem into a temporary folder.

If that doesn't work you will have to do a half and half sort.

Move half of your locos into the temp folder.
If the editor works move the other half into a folder called good.
Then move half from the temp folder into the trainset folder.

Keep working with halfs until you narrow it down to the problem loco.

Hard to explain but I expect you get the idea.
