Example: when laying track in Surveyor 2.0 I can't find a way to deselect the track-laying tool, ie if I lay some track, then wish to quit laying track, there is no context-menu item to deselect the tool. Wherever the cursor is located, a new section of track appears. In general, it seems that...

If there is a better place to report issues with Surveyor 2.0, please advise. I don't know if this is a problem, really, but it seemed odd to me: 1) I made a backup of a route; 2) I edited the route and saved it; 3) I restored the route from the cdp; 4) when I opened the route in surveyor I...

I have not determined the number of baseboards that causes the problem, but note that deleting as few as 12-15 baseboards at once can cause Surveyor to crash. [update - have seen it crash like this when deleting as few as 4 baseboards which were heavily populated with assets] My system has 16...

For Trainz2019 is there any memory or other limitation on populating a large route like UMR2020 with cars on sidings, loading platforms, in yards, etc? Along with locomotives at all engine service areas, and so forth. My intent is to set up a route for random freeroam activity.

The weekly photo contest has some beautiful pics, with enticing routes. As a relative newbie I can't easily identify the associated route. Can someone else, or the posters of the photos? I'm just wondering if those routes are available for download for Trainz 2019, or perhaps they're from WIP.

I'm having difficulty keeping up steam on the K-37 locomotive by togog. Everytime I advance the throttle, it loses 10+ lbs of pressure, and never regains any. Anyone have any tips on operating this locomotive?

I have downloaded T:ANE both with the online installer, and with the offline. Then installed from both at different times. Install seems to be successful. Upon starting Trainz the first time, I get a popup indicating that the startup will take several minutes. For me, it always stalls. My...

Anyone who has run TS12, please describe the qualitative differences. I realize that TS12 has multiplayer and some new routes. Anything else that would make TS12 superior over TS10? In short, since I love TS10, what would lead me to get TS12 besides multiplayer and new routes?

Is there a way to stop unintended scrolling of the map, while laying track, for instance. I'll be laying track, and accidently or carelessly move the mouse, and off goes the map in a wild scroll.

What exactly does minimum build version mean? Does it imply a standard? Is it simply a timestamp? Could a min build version of 3.3 item have asset dependencies that are lower than 3.3?

I just realized that I have downloaded the Fall UMR2010, and am partway through the download of Fall UMR2010 update. When the Content Manager commits both of those at the end of the downloads, is it going to be smart enough to apply the update to the original package, or am I going to end up...

I can make neither heads or tails over successfully saving a change to a session WITHOUT having to save a new route. I just went into surveyor mode with a session, edited a portal to output trains, making sure that it was in the session layer, but when I attempted to save the session, the...

The other day I read in a thread that hovering the cursor over a signal will give info on the line ahead. Don't know how I missed that for so long, but it sure changes my understanding of things like signaling and track usage. For instance on the Murchison 2 route I'm doing the first...

Is it possible to switch between DCC and Cab modes while in a session, or upon reloading a saved session?

When running steam in cab mode, how do you go about the very precise starts and stops to load or unload a string of cars? I tend to overrun the loader position.
