Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to get realistic and consistent rolling stock/track sounds in TRS19. I almost exclusively model and drive American layouts. I've been using RTS track on my maps to create sounds, and they're decent, but they sound more European passenger-oriented than...

Hey everyone, I booted up Trainz and noticed my headlights haven't been working, even though they say they're on in Driver. I decided to test things further and created a night session, and when I turned on the headlights I noticed the light being cast by the headlight was there, but the...

Hello, I'm having some issues with the jointed rail and RTS track sounds in TS12. Whenever I try to drive a train with jointed rail rolling stock, or RTS track sounds (I only use the RTS track when I'm not using any JR rolling stock and lay it down on the map as a session-only piece), the track...

Hey everyone, I've recently been trying to get into building tunnels with the dighole/tunnel lining/portal system, rather than using the less versatile and frankly unrealistic built-in tunnels. I model almost exclusively American, and was wondering if anyone knew of some tunnel portals that...

I know this has been discussed before but, I want to use an alternative method of controlling my Trainz (cab mode). I can't afford Raildriver, so I was thinking about using a joystick. Other people on the forums have said that a joystick wouldn't work by itself, but there is a program out there...

Hello, I've been having a bug in Trainz, mainly with the built in ATSF SD45 loco. I was running the session "mojave to bakersfield" on the mojave subdivision, and when the session started up, there was no driver assigned to the loco. I went and found it, selected it, and tried to drive it, but...

I recently bought TS12 and attempted to transfer all of my content that I downloaded (and love and use a lot, mainly locos and some rolling stock) from TS2009 to TS12 via import userdata folders original and local in cmp. After everything was downloaded, I launched Trainz and found that about...

Hey everyone, I am currently making a "railfanning" route similar to the Train Chase routes by abarten. I have laid a basic loop of track in which the trains will run over and I am about to lay some invisible track for cars to drive over. I was wondering if it's possible to disable the clickety...

This may have been discussed before but, Besides the size, trucks, performance, etc of EMD's GP and SD locomotives, I was wondering what a GP locomotive would be used for in comparison to an SD locomotive. I've heard that GP locomotives are used for road switching sometimes. Are they commonly...

Hi, I've been working on a couple of routes in TS2009 over the past few months and was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on painting in Surveyor. When I paint the landscape usually looks unrealistic because the textures either look repeated, or it looks like a bunch of different colors...

Hi, I've been working on a couple of routes over the past few months and was wondering if someone could give me some tips on building towns. When I try to make them they usually end up looking like big square of buildings packed together, which looks unrealistic and is not very...

This may have been discussed before but... I've been working on a layout based in the USA in TS2009 for quite some time now. I placed some sound horn triggers throughout the layout for the ai trains to sound their horns at crossings, stations, tunnels, etc, but when the trains run over them...

I just recently completed a route in Trainz 2009. I am trying to program a train to do some yard switching. I want it to drive onto a siding and couple with some tank cars, but when it tries to do so, it stops in front of the red signal in front of the siding because of the tank cars. Is there a...

About a month ago I purchased a 1 year fct. Every time I click download off the download station, it never brings cmp up. When I go into cmp and try to download from there I always get the same message: "Unable to download, the server appears to be full, please try again later..." My fct has...

Hey, I just finished a new route on Trainz and I am trying to program an AI train to pass by the player's train on a section of double track that has a 70 mph speed limit. At the end of the section of track is a junction that shortens to one lane of track, and a little further down the track is...
