Thanks for the info on the loop lines and terminate. That would explain why all 3 ai drivers ended up trying to reach the same destination! I had allocated one to carry out a loop service (terminus to a mainline station), another to run an express service (point to point with a stop at the...

Hi, If you open the route (from the manager), there’s a list of stations. Hover the mouse over one of them and there’s a pop-up th assign the driver from that station. Using the manager, you can change the line type (terminate, reverse, loop). I guess that if the line terminates, then the...

You can have more “fun” if you have several passenger trains! I have an old layout which runs with 3 passenger trains, it seems as if their initial assignment to defined routes can be reset at times, so I’ve just had all three try for the same station… That’s going to need manual sorting!

Hi All, I've been "playing" with an old route, and the latest beta version. I've spent several hours using the latest DLR for 3 passenger routes and one industry route (coal from mine to power station). All went well until I added a locomotive and some oil tankers (running a test with a...

Hi, Paddington to Westbury was interesting! All the station are als ones, while the “drive to”, “navigate to” commands work with the station names, the DLR only use the ads descriptions. As a result, it doesn’t find any lines to use. Interactive station are available for 1,2,4 tracks, but...

Hi Mike, I’ve found that creating a list of station in the driver set up (session edit) will allow the transfer of the route to the DLR! Alternatively, you can use the dispatcher view to select a station, then edit a line. I haven’t been able to use an invisible station on a test track (yet!)...

HI all, I've just runs the KickStarter 2 route with a KSC consist. That (as expected?) works ok. I'm planning on trying the following (in no particular order) New session in ECML with one consist having a route defined in the driver set-up screen - the DLR is supposed to be able to create a...

I'll have to look at test possibilities later - I suspect that the development team may be able to revel the criteria for passenger lines....

Hi, "Navigate To" commands seem to work to industries and triggers, however the TLR seems to look for only interactive stations - at least, based on some testing I've carried out. On the ECML, I have one consist running under automatic from Peterborough platform 3. Examining the other station...

Update! York Platform 14 will run Doncastle loop line:- Doncastle platform 4 York P 14 Doncastle P 3 Retford P 1 Grantham P 4 Peterborough P4 Grantham p 2 Retford P 2 Newcastle has a loop line - to other Newcastle platforms! And now my driver has reached York Platform 16 and can't find any...

Hi, strangely, I opened up the ECML in the latest beta version yesterday. After quite some time, the Dispatcher couldn’t find many routes to use. I’ve discovered that while it will list a station, it won’t find lines to it if the station is one of the older construction where it consists of a...

Yes, but I was referring to the industries which have several tracks for different products. E.g. Auran’s oil refinery. This has separate tracks for importing and exporting. The TLR doesn’t know which to use unless the industry.gs is updated. I can see the MIN in use for deliveries to a...

Assuming that Trainz crashed, you’ll need to do a full database rebuild. That’s assuming that there’s no heat damage to the internal components. I once fried a cpu in a full size PC. That damaged the motherboard tracks to the cpu. Complete rebuild needed…

Hi, TLR won’t work with multi track industries as they exist now. Eg, I have a 4 track coal mine, oil refinery and multi track port in one layout. TLR will only use coal loader track 1, the oil refinery only uses the delivery track and the multi track port doesn’t register at all. To quote from...
