I am building a route which is up to now 31 miles long. But now when I add more track, the spline circles appears but there is no sign of any track. When I exit surveyor and then return, the 'invisible' track is now visible. Any ideas, anyone, what is the cause of this, and what can I do to put...

When using the spline option in surveyor, in the advanced section, I can enter a value for the height, but it will now no longer accept the minus sign (-). If I lower the spline manually then check the height, it will show the height with the minus sign, but it will not accept it if I enter it...

Is anyone having (or have had) problems using the topology tool in TANE? I can start a new route and go a few miles (using the topology tool) without any problems. Then when I use the topology tool, (e.g. raising the terrain) nothing appears to be happening. Then when I exit surveyor, and save...

Could anyone please tell me how to correct the error messages on Skippers' GWR King Class Loco & tender. Loco first:- ! LoadE2MeshObject> 18 combined chunks (of 18 source) in .im file: - failed to open binary texture 'king_george_v_body/mock.texture' for 'arc:fld:$(original)/hash-DE||kuid2...

I have the S&C (Build 40837} add on. I tried to install it into TANE, but I didn't get the 'install into an existing game, or install as a standalone' option. I installed it into the TANE folder, but it only installed as a standalone. Does anyone know if S&C can be installed into TANE, and if...

Can anybody help me to get a BR Class 35(Hymek) by Mike 10 into TANE (Build 76401) ? I am getting this error report:! This asset uses an obsolete trainz-build number. Trainz-build numbers below 3.5 are no longer supported. ! Progressive meshes are no longer supported by Trainz. Though these...

I have Skipper 1945's BR large prairie 51xx installed on T:ANE (Build 76401), and until yesterday was working perfectly. This morning, when I started T:ANE it decided to carry out some sort of task to the DLS (which took half an hour), and when I eventually started, I found that the route I was...

Does anyone know if the Deltics are oversized. I know the prototype was a lot bigger than most other diesels, but in Trainz they seem to be much too big. A few examples: They will not pass under the GWR open footbridge 01 or the UTA version (they are both identical except for the colour) without...

Microsoft are offering me the chance to upgrade from my Windows 7 to Windows 10 on July 29th. (There is no Windows 9, as the Chinese consider the number 9 as unlucky). Does anyone know if T:ANE will be compatible with Windows 10? I have come to the forum to ask this question as at the moment N3V...

I started T:ANE and I was told an update was available, and would I like to install it, so I did. The update was a patch from build 74539 to 75947. It took about 2 hours, but when I launched the game, all I got was a screen full of various pastel shade colours and nothing else ~ no menu or...

I can't see a 'User Data' option in T:ANE (build 74539) anywhere. Does this mean that all the downloading from the DLS and route building will be lost?

I started to build a route in T:ANE (Build 74539), and I used TANE trk jarrah for the track. When I went back to the route this morning, I found that the track had turned into white dotted lines and TANE trk jarrah was being flagged as red. I went to the DLS and this track, which is built-in...

I using T:ANE build 74539. I am in the process of building a route, and a strange phenomenon has developed. When I go to do anything on one particular part of the route (it's only just over a mile at the moment), I am unable to do anything ~ the game will just not respond to any command. I am...

An AI train will not move because the message box is telling it that it cannot plot the route, as a points lever is missing. I've inspected every point on the route, (ten miles of it), and I cannot find a point with a missing lever. Can anyone help this AI trains predicament. Cheers chaps.

Does anybody know the SRTM DEM file number for the UK? I did ask the man at TransDEM what it was and he said it was W001 or E000 in the 50's, but I've tried them, but I end up in the middle of an ocean. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Dick.
