My PC hard drive died and I can't afford repairs right now, so I don't have Trainz 12 any more. Suffering from major withdrawal, I bought Trainz 2 Mac to run on an old iMac from 2006 we still have. It's sluggish but better than nothing. I'm having two issues: 1. The grid has disappeared in all...

I know of two AI horn triggers on the DLS -- "Sound Horn" and "HornTrigger." The only bell trigger I know of is "BellTrigger." I don't really like HornTrigger and BellTrigger because it can be difficult to figure out which way is which for the directional control. The other problem with...

I'm trying to create a hump yard scenario. The goal will be to set the switches and pull the pins to coast cars to the correct tracks. Each correct car will add a point to a score variable, each wrong car will subtract a point. I'm not sure how to check the cars on each track, though. I'm...

This could be a bug, some setting not right, or me being brain damaged. When I try to add a load, the computer locks up for anywhere from about 15 seconds to a minute. This I'm used to when opening certain windows in TS12; it also does the same thing while saving. When the computer finishes...

I've tried patching my build of Trainz twice now with the same error message: The attempt at patching took about 20 minutes to run before getting the error. The patcher seemed to stall about halfway through after about 5 minutes, then finally gave the error. Any thoughts?

I'm having some troubles with steam locomotives controlled by the AI literally running out of steam. This, of course, clogs up the whole railroad. Real steam locomotives don't run out of steam that quickly without something being seriously wrong. Any thoughts? I've also noticed that several...

I'm trying to create a scenario and provide player instructions. I've got the conditional triggers figured out, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to get my HTML to display in the window. The window comes up when I want it to, but it's always blank! I've been through the HTML tutorials and...

Express reefers were common head-end cars, particularly on mail trains. I haven't been able to find any on the DLS... anybody know if any are available and I'm just not using the right search string?

OK, I've modified the NEC map and added some freight traffic. Except my freight trains go invisible as soon as I enter Driver. They don't disappear, they're still there as evidenced by the exhaust. The passenger trains don't seem to do this. It doesn't matter if the freights are manually placed...

OK, I don't know what I'm doing wrong with this. My goal is to create AI coal traffic from a portal to a rotary dumper, then off to another portal. Seems pretty simple. To try to provide for the fact that eventually, the coal trains will come from several different portals and disappear into...

I'm looking for a few rolling stock assets, and haven't been able to find anything on the DLS. Anybody know where I can find something that will work for these? 1. North American transfer caboose -- the "box in the middle of a flatcar" sort of thing, used on between-yards transfer jobs until...

Some background is in order before I post the links to the pix. I love fantasy stories. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, CS Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, Piers Anthony's Xanth stories, the Myst trilogy (although I've only read the first one), even The Polar Express... all favorites...

I've downloaded a good bit of content, and am coming up with the following KUIDs missing: 268447:1008 142343:53007 215194:1735 75130:50066 268447:1319 249071:4166 -10:180 2:50567:27026:2 2:276266:1191:1 2:276266:1192:1 2:67794:50051:1 2:67794:50052:1 2:181672:254:1 2:181672:255:1 44700:53061...
