L&HR VERSION 3 Options

[Glenn]

Tried 2 times to get the L&HR V3 to work. This led me to uninstall MSTS 2 times. I had installed all the required rolling stock that is required under the template documentation without installing the templates. Ran route riter and no problems. The problems only occure after the templates and the rest of the asocated files are installed. I get the error message of cannot read train database for every rolling stock called out by the template documation.

Glenn,

First of all, very very rarely would you ever need to uninstall MSTS. 99.9% of all problems can be solved without uninstalling MSTS. And I would say that 99.9999% of all template problems can be solved without uninstalling MSTS.

Second, be very careful which template version you use. There are many versions of the route, and corresponding versions of the template. It MUST match the route. L&HR v. 3 is quite old. Also, it is not a good idea to mix the various L&HR templates, since many of the files conflict.

I only installed the Lehigh and Hudson river version 3 files and templates and the route was Lehigh and Hudson river v3 from Train-sims.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks,

Are you using TrainStore? If so, perhaps the rolling stock is not loaded.

Is AG giving the error, or MSTS? Can you generate an activity? If not, then do you have more than one AG installation? If so, perhaps AG is running in the other installation.

If MSTS is giving the error, then this type of error indicates a problem with the TRAINSET folder and/or the files within. You indicate that the error occurs with each and every item of rolling stock. Do you have more than one MSTS installation? If so, perhaps MSTS is running in the other installation.
