On my ongoing (and ever ongoing it seems) N scale model design layout named as "bad Spiralz" using TS12 I have hit a get many problems that appear to be mostly down to AI trainz problems (no surprise here) and the way that system works ? I am trying to use TS12 to design a display layout of...

On my "Bad Spiralz" route, I have a reasonably complex through station handling both up and down main line traffic, but also a quite active branch line. I will be the first to admit that I am no expert at signlling, but I mananged to signal the branch so it is fully automated with trains...

On my "Bad Spiralz" layout, I have a large number of track markers to allow me to (hopefuly) automate it's operations. However, I am finding that several, but it seems not all of the consists running seem unable to identify some markers, while others find them normally ? Not quite sure what is...

I have a very complex model layout that used the above track for it's entire main line. Due to W7 throwing a whoopsie, I have had to reinstall everything, but still have (access ??) to my old TS12 system, but that track is now dotted lines !!!!!!! I just cannot take the time to change the...

I have been trying to 2+ days now to update my assets on a new tS12 installation. It was working fine, my FCT shows as active, and then 2+ days ago it has just stopped. I press Start - nothing, time and time again. Is the CM down (again), or what is going on ? Ian

Despite having a long and definitely activated download ticket, I am having real problems downloading a bunch of missing assets lost due to Mr GATZZZZZ screwing up my last W7 installation (nothing new there as we all know) Anyone know what is going on with these download station servers ? They...

As the title, I have tried every trick I can to get a mouse cursor in TS12, but the initial screens are totally mouseless, and the tab keys etc do NOT work in the menu - options even if/when I manage to get that to load either. Windows 7 Home Premium, GTX 980 card, 16GB ram, SSD drives etc. On...

I have constructed a largish "N" gauge layout as a design exercise. It is supposed to be a fully automated main line system plus very active single line branch with passing places. The branch works almost perfectly with the signalling system I have come up with, as does the main line, which...

I have had this problem for some time now. It started when I was apparently using an earlier version that had previously appeared to work fine. I make changes to a route, create the very long list of session commands for some 20 consists involved (it is an auto controlled N gauge layout 20 x...

Hi I have a licensed copy of both Trainz 2006 and 2012, but frankly prefer the 2006 edition as it has a lot more assets for GWR and other UK and European type railways. My set of CDROM's for 2006 all work except Disk 4, which has an unreadable sector on it, so I am desperate to borrow or...

Hi I have been working on a design for a roughly 20 x 20 feet "N" gauge layout design that has a looped double track main line that works just fine with autopilot and the signalling I am using, allowingme to run about 4-5 trains on the same double track in each direction. However my recently...

Hi Having recently installed 2012 after using 2006 a few years back, I find that all my trains run at a max of 40mph. I have tried the speed option in commands - no change, and speed boards around my large layout - they all still run at 40mph - PERIOD Anyone tell me how to change these ...

Hi Having used 2006 for quite some time a few years ago, and really enjoyed it, I lost it in a PC crash (of course). I decided recently to revisit Trainz and purchased 2012. Bad idea it seems ? Where/what are all the decent assets that came with 2006 ? All I see in this new version is...

Hi I recently paid for an FCT to get faster downloads of content, but despite activating it over 2 days ago, I still see no improvements in speed at all. Is it just a con to get more money off me, or am I missing something ? Cheers Ian

Hi I used to work with 2006, and it had LOADS of british and german and swiss stock and locos, but having lost that installation (XP keeled over as always - Grrrrrr) I decided to buy the latest (and greatest?) Not sure that was a good move ? On 2006 I had a very large layout built that was...
