I suppose step one is look for a *.trk file in the main directory of the route. If that's not there, MSTS will never see the route.

Secondly, run it through Mike Simpson's most excellent Route Riter and see if anything turns up. From time to time, the MS-DOS batch file copying method decides it wishes to do half a job.

Hope this helps; if not, say so and I'll try to think of something else.

yes the .trk file is there and route riter says everything is fine. Hmmm..

Some quick questions.

A. What route is it?
B. Does this route have a path folder, and if so, does it have any path files in it?

[timm40]

yes,it does have a path folder and paths are in it.

Are there any activities in the activities folder? If not try making up a simple activity & see if that will work.
