New pop up stops AM Options

[Old Geaser]

I have 9 routes installed. Recently only 2 will run. Bodidlly and C&NW. I use Train Store to set up the route and one act. at a time. After doing this I start A M in any of the routes that are not working, and select the Act. It runs thru the checking and when it would normally show if any engines and cars need to be replaced, a pop up says" file not found occured in function read consist. Consist was (Name of Act.) last read was player." It then ask if you want to retry, quit Then crashes.

I opened the AM folder ans all I see is act and con files. Nothing else. I do not remember what the AM folder had in it. The AM files have been there for over a year or so. I think something is missing here. I lost the AM folder from Steve in a recent crash of my outside hard drive that I used for backup.

Is there any one that can help me with this. I want to get back to the other routes. What should the AM folder from Steve have in it? Thanks

Bert,

Attached is a text file listing the files installed in the Activity Master folder during setup. This error, " file not found occured in function read consist. Consist was (Name of Act.) last read was player.", is due to the consist file missing in your consists folder. I can't help with Train Store because I don't use it, but could be the cause of your troubles since it 'hides' consists etc. from Train Simulator. As for the consists, activities and traffic files in the Activity Master folder, I normally delete those every so often. I believe AM is just saving copies there when it's doing the car swapping. I wrote a batch file to remove them and have not had any trouble after doing so.
