I get the following reports when checking ADFRRV2 in RouteRiter:newSainsburysTrailer.sd Contains an invalid ESD of ParcelforceTrailer.sd Contains an invalid ESD of US2LumberTrk.sd Contains an invalid ESD of US2MainTrain.sd Contains an invalid ESD of Us2MetFrame.sd Contains an invalid ESD of US2Whitebox.sd Contains an invalid ESD of US2Woodbox.sd Contains an invalid ESD of I get the invalid ESD with the above US2 sd files as well in the other routes. I know nothing about this aspect of MSTS and would appreciate help. I did attempt to search this forum for answers, but to no avail. Thanks.Brad

Hi Brad All of those SD files have a spelling mistake in them, open them in a Unicode text editor and you will see that Alternative is spelled AlernativeI have uploaded a new .exe file for RR at http://members.optusnet.com.au/virtualtrains which automatically fixes this problem. However these .sd files work OK in MSTS as I assume the game just ignores this line in .sd files for rolling-stock as you can not use alternative textures in them in any case. Mike

Mike, I thought I had fixed the ESD in those before uploading since they are all 'scenery' items. However, since there was evidently a spelling mistake, I didn't catch that and is probably - as you say - the reason for them showing up. Haven't had a chance to even look at them yet, though.RobertR .. ADF-M&RM at http://www.adfrr.com

ADF-M&RM at http://www.adfrr.com Hi Robert,Not your fault, they are default objects from USA2, so if you packaged your route with RR, it would have added them to the InstallMe.bat file, and they would have been copied over from the users Default route.Mike

OUCH !Thanks for that one, Mike !Have not run into this problem yet, my ADD-ON Routes obviously not using these items. But all ADD-ON Routes adding them to their TEXTURES Folders and a Route Designer using them it is only a question of time before there would be Errors !Changed all references of "Alernative" to "Alternative", just in case. Take Care, O t t o.

Brad, btw, thanks for bringing these up. It's amazing how many times we look at something and still miss it. Also, if you have any comments, criticism, or wishes to be add to the route, feel free to click the email button and fire away I'm still in the process of cleaning some issues up and it's a perfect time for any other additions/correctionsRobertR ..
