It http://msts.steam4me.net/tutorials/traindb.html says the train database is corrupted and says to delete Train Simulator and reinstall to a new folder. Boy that will take a couple days.I have checked a few acts in some of the other routes I have and they are working. I would think if the database was corrupted that the other routes would be have the database error.Has anyone had this experience and if so did you have to reinstall everything?

If you can't find the error, post back here.If it's an activity installed with a route, you may be able to switch rolling stock to something that works.HTH.

All the stock Trainsets are on MSTS CD1 under Locfiles, Trains, Trainset.
