Can anyone save me a little time by suggesting a floodlight tower which gives a good widespread light? Tried 3 or 4 which are built-in on TS12 and they all make little bright spots in an otherwise dark world. Even one which is 40m tall with 10 lights on - a little cluster of bright spots...

Working on a new fictitious route. I have a container port already. I also have oil and coal industries, and an oil terminal which supplies crude oil (from a ship, although that bit is fake - but not that bothered about making the ships functional even if we can). Now, a bit further up the...

Someone kindly (no, really) pointed out a couple of errors in a session I put on the DLS. So, I thought I have a few minutes, I'll just check them in the editor... It said I couldn't edit the route as it was on the download station, did I want a clone? Cloning it gave it a different KUID...

I'm in the early stages of building a fictitious route. Obviously, that means adding baseboards as I go. However, they always add at 0 height. Is there any way to either a) add a new baseboard which is all at height n and/or b) add a baseboard at height n with a known gradient - e.g. starts...

Anyone done a multiple (3x or 5x) articulated wellcar for double-stacked intermodal trains in the US? I have Dave Snow's TTX single 53ft wellcar, which I cloned and adjusted the masses for the car and the cargo as it was coming out too light. Loaded containers probably average about 25...

Well, this is annoying. I've been working on 2 sessions on the Mojave sub. I made the first one and got it up and running, tested it, working fine. Then, 'cos I wanted to re-use the AI trains from it on a second session, I saved the session from surveyor as a new session with a new filename -...

I'm doing a scenario in the Mojave subdivision where a Westbound freight is supposed stop at the west end of Bealville and wait for an oncoming train to pass. The AI train is further down the track, it gets triggered by the player train using a session layer trigger about 0.5mi from the end of...

I'm working on a modified Avery-Drexel steam scenario, which requires a helper loco. So, I set up a loco to join the back of the train, after looking to see how they did a similar setup in Marias Pass X route. Only thing is, the loco, when I looked, wasn't helping -it's sitting with the...

downloaded a few BNSF ex ATSF locos from the DLS. one of which is BNSF 8271 SD75M,<kuid:544086:100121> plus 5 other SD75M variants, by author dash013 They don't work (in TS2010) since they seem to have a missing dependency - Unknown Location: <kuid:113556:101010> although this is not in...

I'm sure this is a totally dumb noob question... I'm working on a scenario on the excellent Marias pass X route, and I'd like to have popup messages. Now, the scenarios which come with the route have these, and they use things from HTML asset <such-and-such>, when I look in the session rules...

Before this drives me mad, anyone offer an opinion as to why, when trying to install a tunnel through a mountain, some of the tunnels have terrain inside them, and others, which don't, cause surveyor to crash. Using TS2010 here, and 5m grid, which gives nicer shaped scenery in mountains. I've...

DLS has plenty of locos (right now I'm looking for USA), but many of them flag up warnings or errors in TS2010. In particular, I'd like newer BNSF/ATSF liveried units like the SD70MAC, for a scenario I'm working on for the Marias pass route. I did find a couple of SD40-2 which are OK in 2010...

(Sorry if this is old hat, but I don't seem to see it in a quick search) OK, so as start into surveyor (in TS2010) I decided to add a passenger special scenario to the Avery-Drexel route. I wanted to adapt the existing scenario which has an oncoming train to wait for and some nice little...
