First the Gallery acting up and now the Trainz Wiki site Is completely dead. What is next?

I have just found and reported a bug in both Trainz Plus and TRS22PE. The bug, which involves using the Filter Visibility setting in the S20 Assets Palette, will render all track objects (signals, speed signs, switches, etc) invisible when the filter is returned to Filter Selection or Filter...

In recent days I have noticed a new Content Manager "behaviour" when downloading some assets from the DLS - not all downloads just those that have errors reported during the install procedure. The normal download progress window will open up to give an error report (with red "x" icons) during...

Since the weekend I have been unable to log into the Trainz Wiki pages. Accessing and viewing the pages is not a problem, just logging in so the pages can be edited or new pages added. During an editing session I received a message stating that a problem had occurred and that session data had...

I just noticed a "new" feature in the build 123794 Trainz Settings - or perhaps it has always been there and I am just unobservant? In the Dev tab. The options seem clear enough but does it mean "One Ring to Rule Them All"?

From time-to-time posters in these forums have proposed that N3V should switch away from its own game engine and use one of several licensed systems in use in the gaming world. One such suggestion that I can recall was to switch to the Unity Engine. Now Unity Technologies, the company behind...

Copy of a post I made in another thread but since it applies to TLR I have reposted it here. I have been experimenting with the new Driver Palette that is now available in Trainz Plus Surveyor 2.0 and have noticed a few "issues". Firstly, most of what is in the Driver Palette is intended (as...

I have been experimenting with the new Driver Palette that is now available in Trainz Plus Surveyor 2.0 and have noticed a few "issues". Firstly, most of what is in the Driver Palette is intended (as far as my understanding goes) for use with the upcoming Trainz Living Railroad (TLR). There are...

We have a tradition here in Oz of a "Welcome to Country" ceremony, a traditional First Nations peoples welcome to visitors, at the start of anything important. The start of a new forum section "Trainz Living Railroad" deserves such a welcome to all visitors...

A driver-less ore train has derailed in the remote Kimberly region of North Western Australia. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-18/driverless-train-derailed-rio-tinto-karratha/102493484

In a classic example of politicians (from the previous national government) prioritizing "media PR stunts" over planning and due diligence, the cost of Australia's Inland Rail Project, a 1,700km freight line connecting the cities of Melbourne and Brisbane, has now blown out to $AU31 billion...

While writing the Wiki Page How to Use Surveyor 2.0 Palettes which is now on the Wiki, I have come across a "blank" in my knowledge. It concerns the purpose of the Content Packages Palette in S20. The official documentation at https://docs.trainzsimulator.com/docs/using-surveyor-20 does not...

build 119122 AI Priority Routing Markers not working [Resolved] I have just submitted a bug report on a problem I have encountered in both 119122 and 117669. Priority track markers are being ignored by AI drivers. I appended a small test track to the report to demonstrate this issue...

I have been experimenting with using the "mesh-asset" tag to replace bogies in rolling stock assets. The initial problem I had was with narrow gauge (3ft 6in or 1067mm) rolling stock assets from the DLS that had been created with standard gauge (4ft 8.5in or 1435mm) bogies. The rolling stock...

I just did a search of TRS22 only routes and sessions using the Web based DLS (the so-called "White Pages") and have discovered a number of "mysteries". There are, at the time of this post, only 16 routes and 25 sessions for TRS22 - but it is early days. 6 of those 16 routes have no...

For those who don't subscribe here is a summary of the latest Trainz Newsletter that dropped into my mailbox a few minutes ago. The next update for Trainz Plus is almost ready for external testing. This update includes a new compressed file format which will reduce file space by about 50%...

Advice and best wishes from "Down Under" to those in the EU and UK heatwaves Stay cool (literally, not just figuratively) is the best advice that we can give to our northern fellow Trainzers in their current summer heatwaves. From our long experiences with 40C and above heatwaves:- - Stay out...

June 1st, the official start of Winter "Down-under". Outside the sun is shining brightly on a clear blue sky but there is a chilly wind that seems to be coming straight off the South Pole to confirm the arrival of winter. Not a snow flake in sight (it has has never snowed where I live). I fired...

I have Trainz Plus build 117092 and I notice that all assets (routes and sessions) I save have a build number of 5.1. The same occurs with my beta Trainz Plus build 117424. I recently uploaded a scrapbook asset to the DLS and it was rejected because Trainz builds above 5.0 are not supported. Is...

I did a search on this (in Forums and Google) but it came up blank. How do you move/copy an Effect Layer between Routes? I have saved the layers as "Presets" (whatever that means) and have exported them as .cdp files to transfer them between different installations of Trainz but there seems...
