I am trying to install the outstanding looking Lehigh route and I am having a few problems 1. I have installed Xtracks per the Readme. 2. I have installed Lehigh Valley per the Readme and ran the batch file. After starting TS and picking Lehigh Valley, the buffers build and the route starts to load -- ERROR - No extended shape data for A1t250r5d.s If I continue I get another error message on Global/Texture/Acleantrack1.ace. Could someone please explane in laymans termsBrian JanekPS- I don't post often, but my deepest thanks to those who put up with the people who don't grasp computer language. You are the true ambassadors of this hobby.
A1t250r5d.s is a shape file for 1 track curve with a 250 foot(or meter) radius. The track is measured in degrees of a circle, in this case 5 degrees. I'm not sure exactly what an extended shape is, but I would reinstall XTracks, you may have a file that failed to copy correctly or got corrupt.XTracks and the LV do work together. I had them up and running with no issues. Make sure you have the latest version of XTracks before you reinstall.Be careful or you'll end up reinstalling MSTS again. It's an ornery program. Try to make backups before every change. Nothing fancy, just copy the Train Simulator directory to somewhere else.I didn't because I got lazy and made a whole bunch of changes without backing up. I having an issue with environment files. I just went through two complete reinstalls and still haven't fixed my problem. Most times I've had to uninstall completely to fix any problems. If you don't get all those registry entries you'll have troubles upon troubles. Uninstalling cuts that down some. If for some reason it gets that bad, uninstall, reinstall, then copy your "backup" back to the Train Simulator folder. There is probably a simpler way, but you have to know all the little secrets of where to look and what to change.
Frank probably is right, i'd also suggest to reinstall XTracks. A1t250r5d.s is a 250m curved track, and is not delivered together with the route, but it is a part of XTracks. Do you have installed the newest TSECTION.DAT file (comes together with XTracks, but is also available separately in the file library. You could get the latest TSECTION.DAT first, if that foesn't work, reinstall XTracks. Werner
