I’ve seen another thread about this topic, but the link to a tutorial no longer works. Can anybody explain to me how to switch out a route’s Track for a different track using RWTools? *!!thnx!!*

Ok just tried it. I ran into a problem. Whenever I click “Check routes or scenarios” I get an error message saying “error: file #53 not found

Module:frmdelroute
Procedure: Form_Load”

make sure the path to the Railworks install is correct. When you open TS-Tools it will say what the path at the top bar of the window

I tried that and It gives me the error message, but after that it opens the select route menu, however the routes don’t show up. So something is still wrong.

Guys I just went and did all this and it worked just fine. So you got the error right away when you tried to check the route right? What route was it.

John, You never got any routes to show up? You sure you have the right path set up to your TS2020?

When I first ran TS-Tools it told me I had to index my route properties. its a selection under the "Route Building Tools" tab then I was able to work on scenarios and routes. if it doesn't allow you to do this then I'm guessing the the TS2020 Path is not properly set under the "Options" tab.
