Ok, JC - I followed the steps you detailed above, then for any track assets that still showed an error - listed in content manager with a red font - I attempted first to revert to original. Some I was able to revert, some not. Finally, for the remaining track assets in red I right clicked...

JC - one specific (new since the update) issue I'm having is no longer being able to move existing rolling stock to a different location (like another track, for example). When I try to do that in surveyor 2.0, the object "rotates" and detaches from the track, and I'm unable to place it on any...

I guess that means I'm stuck, unless Steam provides a way to install a prior release - I haven't knowingly backed up anything Trainz related, other than routinely saving new route and session versions as I edit them. Having been out of Trainz for a long time, and assuming the new issues were...

I've been having weird issues, including being unable to move existing rolling stock on a DLS route. It looks like maybe the issue was introduced with the latest Trainz 22 PE release, along with other problems. That's the reason for my question...

I probably accidentally changed some setting in surveyor, but now when I try to move a piece of rolling stock, a yellow line appears, "anchoring" the rolling stock to a nearby asset, like a building, and the rolling stock gets rotated and detached from the track - why would that be, and how do I...

Can somebody please describe in detail how to adjust a junction radius in Surveyor 2.0? I'm totally mystified as to how to do it...

JC - thanks for your suggestion. I tried placing a new track mark and a new consist, both on the session layer - the train derailed just like in previous attempts.

After a several year absence, I've returned to Trainz from TSW 4 and TSC 2024. The graphics and depth of Trainz I think is superior to other train simulators. The issue I'm having - which I don't believe is related to this particular route (Clovis to Lubbock) - is that I'm having all kinds of...

Ghost - thanks for the link to the prior forum thread - I searched and searched but hadn't found that particular post. It's surprising to me that the problem would occur on a route that I assume has been downloaded and explored by many. This early in my Trainz 22 PE experience I'm not crazy...

I haven't considered using triggers, just trying to keep it simple if possible. I don't recall seeing this behavior in old versions of Trainz from years ago, and think it's odd that the base software would even allow a junction to be switched while occupied by a train - just my opinion...

Kennilworth - I'm probably not ready to even think about what I assume is advanced stuff like signaling, interlocking towers, etc. I'm still just trying to successfully add player controlled and AI trains to time tested layouts and get them to run successfully!

Hmmm - downloaded the "check turnout..." rule, but it didn't prevent the same behavior: the consist "broke" before the last 2 cars passed thru the junction, causing a derailment. Is it fair to assume some sort of AI instruction is causing the junction to reset? (I would have thought the Trainz...

Ok, great - I didn't know such a rule exists. Will try - thanks!

Bear with me, I'm trying to re-learn Trainz after several years using an inferior simulator (TSW). On the excellent BNSF: Clovis to Lubbock route, certain junctions seem to switch without warning while a player controlled train is travelling over the junction, casuing a derailment. I tried...

Are there certain rules, like "drive to", that reliably get AI trains from point A to B without taking a crazy path? I've tried navigate via, navigate to, drive to, etc., without consistent success, even when there aren't any other ways to get from point A to B! I've even had the AI act...
