Thank you. That worked

Looking at the various threads on versions, patches, and fixes, I think I may be behind in the Trainz Plus Beta builds. According to the program, there are no patches available. I am currently on build 131950, the update stream is set to "Trainz Plus Beta." I checked the Build Number chart and...

Chicago Rail Link #18 hustles down Halsted Street with three hoppers for the Chicago Stang Bakery, trying to finish before the coming storm. Brakeman Steve waves hello to the CPD.

An impending storm darkens the afternoon sky as Chicago Rail Link #18 hurries down Halsted Street, in hopes of finishing dropping off three hoppers at Chicago Baking Company. Brakeman Steve acknowledges the Chicago PD as they pass each other.

Although I don't have the skills to create new content, I have enjoyed repainting different locomotives. I have learned how to make a layered blank from a single-layer PNG. I have redone some of Dave Snow's undecorateds. I have very little desire to share them, sometimes because I may have used...

I have to commend those wonderful people who use their time, talent, and money (LOTS of each of them) to help us make better-looking routes. Bob's stuff is mindblowing to me. However, my artistic ability is limited to drawing straight lines with rulers. 😛 Thank you to each of our fine content...

I haven't "lost" sleep. But I have gotten so involved with a route that I forget what time it is and suddenly, it's getting light outside.

I am looking for flat buildings to place against a backdrop. I am working on a model railroad route and need buildings with no real depth. I have looked on the DLS under a half dozen keywords. I searched the forums as well. The only buildings I found were of a barn and some English storefronts...

I'm not sure what is happening, but since the update to 126280, my ability to change ground height has gone out the window. Everything else seems to be working correctly, as best as it does. I have restarted the program. I ran a DBR. I even lowered my settings, and nothing seemed to help. My...

I concur with the mouse sensitivity issue. I find that this new patch makes moving the view around ridiculously sensitive. Moving around with the mouse or even with the keyboard arrows is almost giving me motion sickness. I may try and see what my mouse settings in Windows can do to help.

I prefer to use the 2 track crossings as well, but my only complaint is that the 2 track stations use a different spacing than the crossings. This is most evident when there is a 2 track crossing near a station.

When I place signals at set distances, I use a train that measures that distance. So, I place signal in S2, switch to Driver, move the train to the next spot, switch to S2, and repeat until my eyes blur or all the signals get placed in that section. My question is if there's a way to set up S2...

Yes. I have three copies now of the data folder. One on my C drive, the active on my D drive, and a backup on my external F Drive. Things are now set up that copies are made to the backup Drive and the C drive from the active one on my D drive.

I just destroyed 5 months of Trainz activity. How did I manage that? Simple. I copied my data folder backup copy over the active one. Yep. The backup was done in January, So now my current data folder mirrors the backup, instead of the other way around. And since I only have 1 backup folder...

Amtrak's The Badger arrives in Wausau, Wisconsin, just as a summer thunderstorm rolls into town.
