Mesaba Problem – image 1

I installed Mesaba yesterday. I copied the Mesaba folder to the Routes directory, ran the MS Batch thing, and installed Xtracks. I followed the readme for Xtracks. I open MSTS and the Mesaba route doesn't show up on the route screen. Any help/suggestions?

Double-check it's in the ROUTES folder and it's unzipped. If that doesn't work, reinstall it. If that doesn't work... errr... look to the post below this one (if there is one!)MTA Going your way for 100 years. 1904-2004

I didn't install the Mesaba route, but I don't think activities are necessary to run a route.MTA Going your way for 100 years. 1904-2004

Mike,
There are 5 Zip files for this route. Plus 1 Zipfix file.
If you have all 5 Zips for the route downloaded, then start with Zip 1 & unzip to an empty Temp. folder. Unzip 1 through 5 to the Temp folder. Open the mesaba folder & then open the activity folder. You should see 3 files. Take the entire Mesaba folder & cut & paste to your MST Route folder. Make sure you have the original 6 routes installed, or the Bat. file will not work.
Now double left click the installme. bat.
After the file completes running, Take the fixzip & install it in the Mesaba folder.
It's a very nice route. There is also a fix for M10 trolley.
