    Multiple Industry New question

    Finally decided to use some of the non built-in commodities on my Chicago to Green Bay route, but I had a question about the MIN, which unless I am mistaken, is the ONLY way to use most of these third-party products. In the tutorial I got for the MIN back when I using TRS '06 says that under...

    TRS2010 oddities

    Well, since my holiday season Trainz meltdown that took out all of my routes and damaged dozens of assets (even built-ins!), I finally have it up and running, doing quite well for a couple of weeks now. But I do have a couple of odd-ball occurances, one surely a glitch, the other probably a...

    copying a session

    Is it possible (in 2010) to copy a session from one route into another? I am currently modifying Phil Skene's Industrail layout (saved under a separate route name) but I want to use one of his sessions where he has all of the AI mainline trains set up, with trackmarks, etc. in place. I am...

    are the Acronyms no longer speaking?

    After a month of fighting Trainz (2010) on my desktop (see my post "Trainz won't run" for the gory details), I have finally managed to get it up and running. I decided to bypass my saved User Data folders and just download stuff I was missing, since I still had no idea which, if any, asset was...

    Trainz won't run!

    Have no clue why, but suddenly Trainz (2010) won't run. CMP runs fine, but Trainz itself, regardless of whether from the menu screen or from CMP, does not. The screen goes black for a few seconds, then it flashes in neon greens and magentas and goes back to desktop. I have done extensive...

    Traffic control resets to "none"

    Love Maddy's YARN system, and I use it for many, if not most, of my roads and intersections. But does anyone know why the YARN intersections always revert to no traffic control when I load a previous saved route? With those intersections all over the place, it is a pain to have to re-establish...

    confused trees

    Been working on Phil Skene's awesome Industrail for 2010. Setting up industries, etc. and trying to make it a US layout. Did go to Edit Route and changed it from "Australia" to "United States", so now the traffic is on the right side of the road instead the left. However, the trees still...

    rolling stock cloaking device?

    This relates to TRS 2006...I use this on my video-weak laptop, and 2010 on the upgraded video desktop. I have been tinkering with Phil Skene's Industrail 4a for a week or so now, but all of a sudden about half my rolling stock no longer shows up. Nor do they show in Railyard. Checked CMP...

    Height adjustments in 2010

    Not sure if there is a trick to this, but when I try and adjust the height of buildings, cars, scenic details, etc., it only adjusts in full point increments (1.0, 2.0 or -1.0, -2.0). Those full-point swings make adjusting heights almost never worthwhile. But surely I am missing something...

    To be (in compatibility mode) or not to be, that is the question

    Got UTC as a gift but never used it much, looking at it more as a computer-aided design program for my model railroad. But two years ago, I sold off my model equipment just so my family could have a Christmas and got lucky when my brother gave me TRS2006 that very Christmas day. I enjoyed...

    changing a layout's locale

    Downloaded Phil Skene's IndustRail layout for TRS10 yesterday but didn't d/l any of the sessions yet, so I was just looking at the layout in Surveyor. Even though Phil is in Australia, I assumed this was a US route, since the picture shows a AT&SF engine in glorious warbonnet paint, but then I...

    annoying lighting issue

    Heys folks....have a route I started with '06, imported with no problems into '10, but the last couple of times I have gone into the route (in Surveyor), there is now a constant and irritating flash of light on my horizon. The flash occurs every five seconds or so, almost like a distant flash...

    2010 for Christmas? Great gift...or lump of coal?

    Finally got up-to-date with Trainz 2010 this holiday, and while most of it is quite familiar, it is still different enough from '06 to warrant a comparison: First thing I want to critique is one I have seen a LOT of hoorays and boos: Speedtree. Initial impressions for me are mixed. I love...

    coilcar commodity class?

    Going thru EVERY piece of rolling stock I have, editing the config files for category class and company, to ensure that any car will work with the CMTM system. But what class are coil cars? Are they flats (i.e. XF)? Are they essentially covered gondolas (thus XGT)? They aren't Foundry cars...

    kuid table error

    Hey guys and dolls. I have several cars with error messages that say "the asset in '0' is not of the correct type." What type of asset needs to go in field 0 of a kuid table? I would fix it, but I don't know what it's looking for.
