As a disk space-saving measure, some routes and trains are starting to use .flac as opposed to .wav, notably the updated F line for OpenBVE.

Any train or route using .flac files REQUIRES OpenBVE 1.4.1.x or NEWER
Any train or route using .wav will work on any version of OpenBVE

Please check your sounds files to determine whether you need to update OpenBVE or not.

In addition, some trains such as the R46 ALSO requires OpenBVE 1.4.x or NEWER due to the formatting on the .ANIMATED files, which would look like this:

Code: [Select]
.../exterior/LCD/LCDexterior.b3d

.../exterior/Rollsign/Rollsign.b3d

If you get a fatal error on an older version, please do update your OpenBVE version, or you can just change the order of the folders and change the way it references files.


This should answer a few questions and solve some problems for some users.
