 *******************WARNING!!*******************
Running ROUTE RITER has caused problems in the route operation.
While Route Riter is a great program, and I use it, it has deleted 
   some files that are critical to this route's operation.
     
This is a SUMMERTIME route ONLY..NO WINTER.

The GM&OSS will not work correctly on small machines (PCs).

DO NOT LOAD THIS ROUTE UNLESS YOU HAVE a minimum of:

3 gig processor,
1gig DDR ram,
256MB DDR ram on board video ram 8X AGP video card,
Full graphics motherboard,
7200RPM or faster HD with a minimum of 20 gigs and 1/2 the drive free,
(a normal MSTS PC in other words)

DO NOT LOAD THIS ROUTE with anything less. You will miss out 
on the whole reason I made it. Much of the detail will not load (ie, track, 
SMS files (which you'll get a warning once you cross from tile to tile), 
buildings, trees, wires and polelines...none will load correctly on small PCs)

And....if your just planning on moving the sliders
to make GM&OSS work...don't even bother to go any further. Delete this 
route and find one of the payware routes....Especially the most recent payware routes.
They have less detail, and will meet the machine specs your operating with.

No complaints. This is fair warning. This message was displayed in all folders of the GMOSS,
so those wanting to complain have had every chance to read and understand the limitations 
of this route.

There are no warrenties, and if you load this route onto your PC,
you do so at your own risk. I will take no responsibilities for any damages
or problems that may or may not occur after loading this route or required equipment.
Your on your own loading and running the GMOSS.

******************************************************************************************

That being said, this route works great with the right equipment (normal MSTS PCs)
There are 4 small activities, with more on the way from other activity creators.

Test your PC's graphics-handling capabilities and have fun!

Again..this route is NOT for the smaller machines. I made it for the big guns.

******************************************************************************************
Notice to GM&O EQUIPMENT USERS: 

A problem will occure when overwriting perviously installed GM&O Equipment 
downloaded from www.mstsgmo.com in your previously created activities with GM&O equipment.

Once installing the new GMOSS equipment, it will be nessesary for you to make corrections to your 
exsisting GM&O activity files to reflect the new changes with locomotives and rolling stock.
If you've never installed any equipment from www.mstsgmo.com, then you should have no problems
with any previously created GM&O activites.

****************************************************************************************************************

Below is the equipment download list with auto installers at www.train-sim.com. 
Use them to avoid a massive equipment hunt. 5 files needed only.
