Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

I tried this out. It's a mess!!!!

I tried downloading Train Fever yesterday, and found it a mess to install. I have already asked for a refund of my money.

This looks interesting because: 1) RR Tycoon is not really designed for modern (Windows 7) computers and 2) This is a simulation, not a train driving program.

Question: Are there any other simulation games --- download or online --- that resemble RR Tycoon?

Little known bit of railroad history: If you were in the market for a watch in 1880, would you know where to get one? You would go to a store, right? Well, of course you could do that, but if you wanted one that was cheaper and a bit better than most of the store watches, you went to the train stati...

Somehow, I have lost my MSTS files --- probably when I cleaned my hard drive out.

Two questions:
1) How or where can I download MSTS?
2) When do you plan to have a version of Open Rails that does not depend on having MSTS installed?

KevinL, you may be right. But since I am having no other Windows XP problems of any kind with any other program, I do not want to mess around with the operating system. ("Not broke, don't fix it" theory.) Thanks.

I think I will drop this for now. When I get around to it, I will reload all the software and maybe design a different scenario other than the one I have been working on forever. Right now I am replaying Eastern China, which is in my opinion the best scenario in the game other then Coast-to-Coast. I...

For good measure, here is the other file in the data folder also.

OK. Hopefully I attached the error log properly. I have never done this before.

Sorry, nedfrumpkin, our messages crossed. Thanks for the information. I think I installed everything in the correct order last time, including 1.05, but it is over a year ago, so I cannot be certain. As far as the log files, I checked both of them. They are undated and totally meaningless to me. It ...

OK, I checked this out while awaiting your reply --- and also downloaded them all.

But this still doesn't answer my question. Is this problem unique to me?

It is a ways back since I did this, but I think I followed the instructions exactly. If nobody else is having the problem, the first obvious thing to do is to uninstall everything again. Then I would reinstall RTIII, Coast-to-Coast, Version 1.06 in that order --- correct? Right now the key question ...

I build new scenarios or revise existing ones from time to time using the Editor. I am using Windows XP (no Vista for me) and Version 1.06. The Editor crashes periodically --- really crashes, shutting off my computer completely. I have no other Windows XP problems, no other program crashes, and no v...

Hawk has just posted my new Australia All the Way scenario to his web site. I would love having some of you download and play it and give me feedback. It is designed for Version 1.06. You can find it at: http://hawkdawg.com/rrt/rrt3/map_arch/rt3_australia.htm Thanks . . . Looking forward to hearing ...

Sorry, didn't word my question clearly. I know it is easy to change the name just by typing in a new one. What I want is that the default name that comes up in the first place is different. (Right now it always comes up "Carolina Southern". I would like it to come up "Worldwide Export...

I would like to change the default name that comes up each time I start my company. (You can change the player, but the company always comes up the same.) Any "simple" solution to this question?

Thanks for all the kind words of welcome. As recommended, I reinstalled the Coast-to-Coast patch and then reinstalled the v1.05 patch. Everything looks good. On to v1.06.

I am the newest member of this forum. I was about to post a plaintive request for help. But voila, I tried one last thing and it worked. I would like to share it with you because it might be helpful. I just purchased a new Dell computer with Windows XP installed (no Vista for me). I also installed R...
