    OK- Im an idiot and been gone too long apparently.

    Hey guys, long time member- very rarely post. I was getting used to using trainz22 - and as for track layouts and all it feels like i used ot do it- but where I have lost my mind is where in the hell (or how in the hell) you give the AI driving commands in a drive session- in old versions it was...

    old trainz 12 compatible safetran files

    I know its silly to ask for something so old- but I was wondering if someone had the older safetran signals that were compatible with trainz 12- the newest safetran signals use a signal fx library that are not compatible with the older game(s). If my harddrive had not taken a nosedive some time...

    Portals not portal-ing

    Actually- what they are not doing is producing trains... they used to... I cant think of anything thats changed.. now, only one creates trains- the others- nothing... same train setups- pointed right way, with conductors, navigational directions... what gives? I thought MAYBE the makeup was...

    Been quiet but back and still working on things. *waves hello*

    I know ive not been around in a long time- I had slow downs and stops along the way since I joined here some time ago- but im still going at it. I had a time I had to reinstall windows on my PC and i got to working and getting busy and whatever else life tosses- ... but im stubborn- and even...

    Not everything the same w/ JR lights

    Hey all. Been a while since I last posted- had to reinstall windows, got to working a new job- all that. Well, I finally found time to get back to working on the large route I had been working on- it reloaded nicely- all the items are there, redownloaded many dependencies- and I had been using...

    Easiest way to save to reinstall windows.

    Easiest way to save a track you have been working on because you need to reinstall the OS? - I have put months of work into my Florida project- Id prefer to save it, dont really want to upload it to DLS but would if that was easiest.

    Tight rail yards + Signaling.

    I was working on a railyard w/ particularly close tracks- and I wanted to add signals to both ends of the tracks- more for the AI then for accurate rebuild of the yard; but the yard is very tight- and if I was to put a dwarf next to the tracks they practically sit in the middle of the track next...

    3 lights ahead + advance approach

    When I have my lights set to show advance approach- I constantly get them- light after light.... im guessing its because they only look three ahead- and i am using the option to lit on approach- is this combining to make the signal right in front of me think that I have to stop 2 signals past...

    Well there went all that work...

    So I too am now a victim of disappearing signals. - Not all of them disappeared, the 04s (safetran) stayed- everything else- poop- gone. - and I looked for previous threads on this- and I checked for layer issues (I also edit from route menu and never session)- didnt see any hidden layers or...

    General insight provided by making RL track

    Now that I have a few hundred miles of CSX track under me in researching, placing, etc into the TS12 game- I have learned a lot about the real world RR situation- at least in the areas I have been working on. Its kind of sad too. When I see just how much of the tracks Im working on are abandoned...

    Do height numbers correspond to any distance?

    When you edit heights of terrain or track you enter a relatively low number- like with the hump yard i put the crest of the hump at 8 - but does it mean anything- directly? I noticed that nomatter if im using imperial or metric units- 8 is 8. My only guess i been able to make is that it is...

    Brighter signals?

    I am using the SAFE signals provided by jointedrail - and I like having the more authentic signals- but- I wish they were brighter. - When your stopped in front of them they just seem really dull- IMO- and that may be realistic- but is there something I can do, or an alternative set, thats just...

    "Train tracks are just a bunch of straight lines"

    I once heard someone say - BALONEY! - - I have been working on my mammoth project of creating the Florida RR system (with initial/main focus on the CSX and related lines) - and when I started I had (more the one person) say to me- how dole, its just a bunch of straight lines. ... True around...

    Setting a (smart) signal's line. Small question.

    I dont know if you are suppose to include merging routes when setting up a signals (like an 08 or 06) path. - do you include merging or just the splits? - Rational thinking makes me think the splits only, but considering how directed the AI can sometimes have to be id not be surprised if you had...

    Seemingly Random Stop command.

    Ill be going through my route im working on and ill try go this way or that and eventually I come across a "stop" signal. Now most of the time it will tell you whats wrong, an AI has the track, or a switch is not directed correctly- but im coming across these with seemingly no reason behind...
