Hi! The train-sim.com file library gives the following return for this file, which is requested for this new activity:
zi75tofc-1.zip :
No files match search criteria.
Where is ti available ? Or perhaps there is some mistake in the spelling?
Thanks

zt75tofc-1.zip not zi75tofc-1.zip

Sorry to come back to this, but this activity doesn't work - at least for me. After it has been ended loading and just as the initial screen is about to appear, the sim crashes to the desktop. The first time I tried it there was even an error message I had never seem before in MSTS (and I thought I had seen a lot of them), something like 'Progress something does not exist" (sorry, I didn't write or memorize it fully) and then the route would not work at all for any activity and had to be reloaded from my archive. Looks like some graphic issue? Any help appreciated.

It seems to be a problem with the head-up display. Has anyone else the same problem ?

I haven't had the problem. You might want to contact the activity builder, Benny (bennycdn@aol.com).

Are you running the freeware or payware Ohio Rail?

Have you tried reducing the sliders?

Thanks
I'm running MSTSBin on a very powerful PC with a top-of-the range graphic board. The error messages I get are "Region load error - parent Progress does not exist". and what I believe to be an Open GL error message "the application should be run with a definition of no less than xxx*xxx" (the settings I use are much higher).
The route I am attempting to use it with his Ohio Rail Upgrade.

OK. Let's see if we can eliminate some causes. Can you run Explore Route with Player train (BLW_ZT_NoCoastHiawatha with BLW_E8A_BN9950) in the lead?

Hi

The message that you think might be OpenGL, if really OpenGL, shouldn't be a MSTS or MSTSbin problem as they use DirectX only.

Thanks, I`ll try to run the explore service with the player consist and come back to you.

Hi! I did try this consist and a few other ones from BLW+ZT in explore mode on Ohio Rail Upgrade and the ran perfect. My guess is that the problem comes from the orders screen. Any help appreciated. Best regards.
