A solution in TANE is to add either more repeater signals or place invisible ones if your distance between your signal "A" and signal "B" is quite long. There is a limit to how far the AI can 'see forward'. If it determines the next signal is out of reach it will default to a 'safe' 40mph. I do...

I think you will find that -3:10060 is obsolete and no longer on the DLS Doug

Hi Steve.... You will probably need to add a traffic spawner (there are two or three on the DLS) to the end of the invisible track to get vehicles to move. Doug

The system crashed in 2006 and all the data was lost for the members. On restart there was no other way but for everyone at that time to seem to have joined in 2006. We go on from there to now. Doug

Hi all. Could I ask for some help please? My CDP icon has changed from the standard red disc to a "blank sheet of paper". I get the message "what do you want to use to open this file" routine. I see nothing in the list that looks useful. It seems to want to use 7-Zip. This happened suddenly a...

Hi all and I hope you all had a good Christmas? I have a general question but I do not have a problem or issue with the game. My Tane install goes back quite a long way and has been updated with the various patches etc along the way. It is at SP4 and build version 102323. Recently I download a...

Hi all, Came across this article about using plastic railway sleepers that are being tried. Made from recycled plastic. It is all described in the article and quite a good read. Enjoy and comment if you wish...

Hi All. Came across something odd when I was scrolling through the textures. After downloading some Polish items I found I had new textures. Found one with hexagonal tiles (floor pattern) and thought I would try it out. I tried it on an area that already had a "wrong" texture and to my surprise...

Hi all. I could do with a bit of help to fix some assets if anyone can spare a minute or two please. Having moved all my assets from TS12 to Tane I am finding that some engines are not working as they should. All diesel and class 31 / 33 / and 29. They are on the DLS as TMZ 06003 who had...

Hi all thought I would share this long awaited event with you http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-35251312 Doug

Hi all. I have decided to unload TS12 from the HD. I should hang on to all the assets I have collected together so would it be enough to move the User Data folder to somewhere safe as backup for T:ANE or is there something else to add to the list? Regards Doug

Hi all... Just found this video and thought it would be good to share it with you. Some interesting trains here and I am sure it would be worth modelling the 'slugs' for use in Trainz. Enjoy Regards Doug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIQFXDFCCxk&feature=em-subs_digest

Hi all.. I found this and thought it would be good to share. Informative and amusing. See what you think... Regards Doug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8nTquXf4sM&list=PL8909A6049FE0BC00

Hi to you all. I recall that someone posted the method for creating a new driver for the cab. I have searched as best as I can but it might have been in 2004 and possibly lost when the new forum was created. The idea was that you cloned an existing driver, say Bert, and Bert was given a kuid...

:) I moved up to 2004 at Christmas from UTC and Trainz before that. Now I am able to use the passengers loading and good of course. Getting to grips with the new features is not as easy as it should be and I have got myself stuck. I have looked at the various manuals available but cannot find...
