Does anyone know what happened to the reward for filling in the subscription survey? I supplied an email, but there was no choice at the end like the message said. I have lodged a support ticket, but as that usually takes a day or two to be answered I am concerned that the sale will be over...

How come the wheel treads for the bogies for the ACF Gondolas are bright green? I thought this was going to be fixed for the release version, or at least for any new built-in items.

The current sale tempted me to buy a payware route, but I think it was a mistake. It downloaded in game OK. I can see the file listed in the Packages folder. At least I assume it is, from the date and time. I can't find anything that cross-references the package filename to the product...

The red/green arrow overlays for the turnout switches keep disappearing. It seems to affect particular switches, but it's a lot of them, generally in groups. I can sometimes get the overlays to reappear by making a tiny adjustment to the spline point location, or by using the straighten tool on...

This happened after upgrading to SP1 then Hotfixes 1 and 2, but I don't know exactly which change caused this problem. It's a simple route with several short sections of track and a few locos After the upgrades and hotfixes there were places where all I have on the track are overlapping red...

Content manager (V3.6) goes through the motions, but doesn't complete the download. The progress bar fills up, the download speed gradually reduces to zero (I presume the average is being recalculated) but nothing happens beyond that. It can sit for hours and there is no completion. The...

I am creating a mountain section of track and have carefully set the gradient between spline points at exactly 2. I have adjusted the size of the loops, where necessary, to get the required height change while maintaining a gradient of 2. But when I run a train along the track and watch the...

I am trying to tweak some ground textures, and I am having a lot of trouble understanding the concepts involved with the alpha channel of the normal map. This is the description from the manual: "The alpha channel provides per-pixel control of the specular highlight. White gives a strong...

I have created a new texture from an existing bitmap, but when I apply it I get a two-color effect as the texture is rotated. I thought that this was the issue that the NormalMapHint line in the normal map texture.txt file was supposed to correct: Primary=normaltexture.tga Tile=st...
