I spent a lot of time downloading your route and installed it with no problem. I was already to enjoy it when I found out the track data base will not load. I checked your list of possiable items that may need to be downloaded. On the list I saw X-TRACKS. If your route needs X-TRACKS it would be nice to know befor downloading shuch a big file...I will never reinstall x-tracks it has caused me may days and nights of agony......

Good work so far.
I like that you look for the real industry in the area .
But I tink the Shelby area is not correct with the elevators.
I like to make some investigations about the industry on the this route too. If I find somthing out I will mail mail you what I find out . Name of the Industry and siding look.Wait for your next version.Kase

I downloaded and installed Sweet Grass, but when I try to run the route I get a lot of error messages to the effect that texture files, ace file of are missing and also that Krispy_Kruse.s file is missing. Any ideas?Thanks,Dwayne Kunath

the texture files are all in file sweet05b.zip.try unziping it again in your sweetgrass folder.the same for file sweet05c.zip,only sweet05a.zip is unzipped into the main route folder.also as stated in the sweet grass readme the winter / snow texture doee not work in this release.the easey way to check for correct install is to open c:/program files/microsoft games/train simulator/routes/sweetgrass and see if there are 14 subfolders under sweetgrass.please let me know how you make out with the route.Dave
