I am having a problem with the global tsection file. I have added some new sections/shapes for the next "beta" and it boots up fine in the RE (tried several routes to make sure). However, when I go to run a train, MSTS phones home. The status bar on the bottom gets just past the halfway mark when it fails. Does anyone have any ideas for this one?

Steven, mail me a copy of the file and I let my syntax checking program look it over. It's part of the new Horace I'm working with but not ready for public release yet. Should be able to detect any syntax error in the file though.

Hi Steven !As you were wondering whether your problems could be caused by insufficient RAM I did a test, reducing the 1.5 Gb of my WIN-XP machine to 512 Mb with the BOOT.INI.It made no difference, all in MSTS working as it should ! Mind you, more frequent computer cold starts would be advisable with less RAM available when working extensively in the RE.Just thought I'd mention this here in case others might think that this could be a problem with MSTS.Take Care, O t t o.
