NEC missing objects

[_o_OOOO_oo-Kanawha]

You are Italian, right? Have you checked with the community over at http://www.amicitreni.org/? They might be able to help you in your own language, without barriers.

Anyway, it seems you miss the whole of the Kuju folder.

Please open Windows Explorer, navigate to your Steam folder. Open steamapps/common/railworks folder. There should be an Asset folder, open that as well.
Now look for a folder named Kuju and open that. Inside you should find three folders: Railsimulator, RailsimulatorCore and RailsimulatorUS.

Since we are dealing with a USA route here, open the RailsimulatorUS folder. Inside you should find a RailVehicles folder. Open that and look for the Freight folder.
Inside the Freight folder there should be folders for each type of freight car. Those freight car folders must not be empty.

Now go back up to the Steam\steamapps\common\railworks folder in Windows Explorer.
Start the utilities.exe program and wait for it to open.
Click on the Package Manager tab in the upper row and once the package manager window is open, click on the Refresh button on the right.
After a while there should come up a list with all of the DLC packages you have bought. Any illegal packages won't show up.

Compare this list with the list you get when you open the DLC tab from the black Train Simulator 2013 - Properties window which you find when you right-click on the Train Simulator 2013 entry in the Steam libary of all the games you have bought.

NEC and all your other assets you've bought should be visible in both windows.

This community is here to help you, but probably all of us old-timers have bought the previous versions of TS2012 etc. so our experiences are different.

I rebooted the system, cleared the cache and....... exactly like it was in the beginning: missing files and no loading whatsoever. Luckly, after 9 days, Steam support has answered to my help request and has given me a routine of things to do. I'll go through step by step what they have suggested to me and let you know how it goes. If it should work (but I doubt) I'll post the whole procedure.

thx for now

I hope their procedure will work. Definitely let us know what happens.

BTW, I just noticed that you joined the forum yesterday, so a belated welcome is in order.

Nope, their procedure didn't change things a bit. Meanwhile they suggested to re-contact support. I did what Kanawha said and it appears that in the list pf utilities.exe after refreshing I get only

Isle of White Pack
Notheast Corridor
PRR GG1 Electric Locomotive
TestTrak
UK LED signals

and in NEC and TestTrak I have a lot of lines marked in red

but in the DLC the list looks wider

Railworks 2 4VEP Add-On
Railworks 2 Acela Express
Railworks 2 Northeast Corridor DLC
Railworks 3 LegacyRouteNY
Railworks 3 PRR GG1 Pack
Railworks 3 Scherman Hill Steam
Railworks DLC range
Railworks Isle of White Addon
Railworks TestTrak DLC
Railworks UK LED Signals

Also.... I'm completely missing folder RailsimulatorUS

It means you will have to buy there asset packs to get the old default files, such as the F-Unit and the German BR-52.

That's probably why it says you're missing files, because of RSC's pickle.

They should have the files for sale at their main page, but from what I've heard the asset packs don't come with the original routes.

You can get the complete US asset pack with the purchase of the route Cajon Pass I believe.

[fecrails]

The US asset pack should be included with the NEC.
From the description of the US Community Asset Pack on Steam:

If you believe you require the US Community Asset Pack, please note that it is included free of charge with the following add-ons: Cajon Pass, West Coast Mainline North, Ohio Steel 2, Cologne Dusseldorf, Portland Terminal, Portsmouth Direct Line, Bristol to Exeter, Northeast Corridor, Rascal and Cottonwood, Colton and Northern, Fort Kent to Eagle Lake.

Sorry, I don'y have any other ideas at this point.

OK, thanks to you guys, I could finally solve most of the scenery missing objects. I just purchased and downloaded Railworks 3 LegacyAssetsUS and fixed all the issues related to Northern Corridor, GG1 and Acela that now work perfectly. The only one I still have problems with is 4VEP but I've just found out it needs the Portsmouth Direct Line Expansion Pack ..... obviously a detail that was not mentioned as I did not buy any addon out of the general list, but just picked what was highly suggested within the game.

Great you got it working!

This whole legacy asset dilemma that the introduction of TS2013 has created is very confusing.

The fact that you have TS2013 and NEC, but still had to buy other asset packs to get NEC to work is a total scam on the part of RSC.
That was not the way it was presented by them before the update. As I posted in the clip above, the assets were supposed to be included with the NEC route.

Enjoy your trains Alberto!
