I, and from posts I have read, others too, are bothered by the way divergent signals display. I set out to fix that... The details are on my web site. http://www.sgeinc.com/~nysvrwx/Page9.html

So, is the next generation of passengers going to be slouched froward, twiddling their electronic devices? :) Cell phones glued to the ear? Will they be called Peepz? :hehe:

Well, I wanted the portal to pop 3 SD40s, and 10 60' tanker cars. I managed to type in 109. Made a real long train. The engines pulled it, but very slowly.:hehe:

This isn't really a rant tho it might sound like one. bear with me please. :) Some of the routes in TS12 (including built in) are incredible. Very realistic, like driving through a forest. Unfortunately, for those of us (like me) who have 8+ year old puters, driving them is not fun. It's a...

So there I was, cruising up the ladder, shoving some cars hither and yon, on a new route I've started, when I looked over at a bunch of carz stopped on the road that passes by the yard. Without missing a beat, I said "Railfans!" and laughed. :hehe:

I suppose this should have been posted in prototype, but I wasn't sure so... How does one light that coal fire? Is it some newspapers under a shovel full of coal, or...? Tried to search for it, and found interesting things, but not the initial "light it" how to.

Hi, Been working on a route. It's really big. It covers from Syracuse, NY north to Oswego, NY, northeast to Watertown, NY, east through Albany, NY, through Springfield, MA, and over to Boston, NY. It takes near 6 hours to drive from Syracuse to Boston. :) Scantrack just plain blows up. It fails...

Another thing I have bee encountering is rains that finish loading/unloading, and their next command is a navigate/drive command and they just sit there looking dumb. When I find the culprit, I jiggle the command like I'm gong to remove it, let it drop back in, and the train continues. It's...

I keep getting strRanges = 1 as a message (prolly put by some interface print) and I did a search of the whole 2009 folder, and it's either coming from a binary or an encrypted script that search can't search in. Anyone know about this one? Annoying because it flushes more important messages out...

In order to keep my AI trains from taking the scenic route through non-related industries (which have slower speed limits than the mainline), I use trackmarks lableeled like ps byp for a power station bypass etc. Doesn't matter if I use drive via or navigate via, the train slows down to about 12...

I found an engine with a mesh. Old paintshed things apparently don't (?). I cloned it. It said I used PEV tools to make an im and a quick shadow.im That's fine, but when i go to commit it, it shows up faulty, and the error reads things like the *.texture.txt file is missing for texture resource...

Heya, Been a while since I have posted. Trying to both auto patch sp2, and manual patch,and it gets halfway thru and fails. No real message, just patch aborted. anyone have thoughts or know what's up with this? I'm running 38599 atm. Thanks in advance!

How in the heck do you signal these things? Thanks in advance.

When you break one (or more), how do you fix them?

There I was tooling along in the El Snowplow, with a pair of SD40-2's pushing, and I laid on that horn, and blew through a station, and snowed all the passengers on the platform! (ROFLMAO!) That said, how is this handled in RL? Having never seen one, I have no clue.
