Good question its like hitting the lottery when that command works properly... I have chosen to just use the couple to command which works 100% for me so far...

This may not be your situation but I had that happen to me and found if you are using schedule commands or portal commands the day and time have to be the same....

I always set crossings for automatic your alternate choice would be to use ATLS or a TRC set up... (I prefer TRC) for faster trains...

I don't know if you solved this issue yet? From what I can tell and have seen happen to me when the train is in A.I. mode it wants to follow a path (opening a junction) that is already occupied or un-signaled... When switching to manual mode then the signal ends the path the A.I. wants to take...

You do not always need to add a entry signal to every sidings... A L5 yellow invisible signal is ok after the entry junction. 04 outbound signals are ok or invisible to keep the parked engine from controlling the entry junction... From what I see you are attempting?

I only use the TTR trackends which are pretty realistic looking for the U.S. hayes bumper...

UGH! The one main reason I never use those., The problem with those is once a junction opens it changes the entire line in which it faces. So, placement could be anywhere so it's best to use those on a secluded yard or branch line that will not effect the entire route...

Well I slapped a 1 board route together added a few building splines, all PBR textures, TRC xing, river, JR signals, and a tunnel. I scattered trees in groups and mixed them up in groups also. I set up 2 steam locos with cars 2 track to 1 main looping around and another 2 track siding. trains...

Great way to put it sir... Although I felt like I won the lottery with this update so I decided well let's see how the new trees are... I tried out some grass clusters and found some of them floating 50feet above the board level and others look like old 2004 box assets with bleeding colors, so I...

Well I upgraded to SP6 and opened a heavy scenery city route (The Milw Road Beer Line and outlining yards referenced off the Kalmbach book of the same name)., and low and behold no issues with it and surprisingly the performance and FPS better... So far so good now to test the other routes...

Just a couple of questions may I ask? The new plant factory trees are to replace previous versions of trees? I wanted to do some research on these but nothing in the WIKI? So what are the search requirements for them. (usernames). No I have not updated to SP6 yet just trying to prepare for the...

I basically clone the bogie with the position tag I found it more useful as I can do this with multiple units by just replacing the bogie config tag...

In the real world railroads (turn of the century) used coal ashes and cinder for roadbeds in railyards adark ballast works well for this as with the grimy oily look and the shades a green grass or grey patches of dirt... pbr Ground Gravel-Ballast A18 PBR city dirt ## (S) a few nice grey dirt...

I suppose it's a problem I'll suffer alone then. I couldn't delete the corrupted file through the content manager so I went ahead with the extended database rebuild. Redownloaded the locomotives and reinstalled the dependency. All that's changed is the CDP file name. It's still corrupted. Why...

Exactly its what you command the AI to do works well with common sense in the set up of the route itself for examples as follows... The mainline for points A-B is when aligning yards etc. the junction switches should always be kept aligned to the main by keeping a constant open line... signaling...
