I use GMax exclusively. Yeah, I know it's outdated but it's still the easiest software out there to create stuff for TRAINZ, and it still works. I use Photoshop to create my textures. GMax is very easy to double or rescale.
That never tells me any information either. I have "Show Message History" checked, but there's never any messages or message history since I installed it on my new computer. I'll bet there's something i have un-checked somewhere....
Ever since I got this new computer and reloaded TRS2019, I can no longer ctrl-right click on the lead locomotive and get any information on why the train is just sitting there. I get the name of the locomotive and all that, but it never says stuff like "waiting on access to track" or other...
