AI problem help

[railsong]

I am having some problems with the AI trainz. First I can't find the Decouple command in the driver setup menu. It is in the Driver Commands list and is checked, but it doesn't show up in the Driver Setup commands. Second, I am having no luck with the ISS Invisible Speed Signals. I finally got 2 of them to work, but the third one didn't. Kind of bad when the first one in my yard was set to 10 MPH, which seemed to work, but when the consist left the yard to it's first industry it went 10 MPH all the way down the main line. I did have another speed signal on the main line to increase the speed, but it didn't work. Must be doing something wrong. Third, I have the coal mine industry on my route and when I drive the consist myself it will load 15 cars, but when I send it with AI mode, it will only load 4 cars. I have tried different cars and increased the production of the coal mine, but to no avail. I'm wondering if maybe the track through the mine chutes is too short, as in AI the train stops for the switch at the juntion leaving the mine to the main line to be set and I think it thinks the loading is finished when it stops. Would a longer line through the mine make a difference...Any help here will be greatly appreciated...Thanks.....

I will try to answer your questions the best I can.

1. There are few UNcouple commands. Notice I said Uncouple. And also they will not be in alphabetical order. They are listed in order that they were checked.

2. The speed signals are directional. Make sure they are facing the correct direction.

3. You need to make the track longer or set the switch so the train will continue through with out having to stop.

Hope this was of some help. Carl

Yes, I did download another decouple command, but it still doesn't show up in the Driver Setup menus. I have to uncouple the consist from the loco on my own after the consist stops at the last destination. I will look for the uncouple command on the DLS. As for my speed signals I think they are pointing in the right direction, as the flat part with the speed is facing the train. On the signals that don't work the speed I have set it at doesn't show up on the signal itself. Don't know why! I am kind of limited on space around my coal mine. I guess I will have to add more baseboards.....Thanks much.....

Thanks Carl, I downloaded another uncouple command and it is working fine. I will work on making my coal mine tracks longer. I did set the switches to clear and that did make it load a longer train. I haven't yet worked on the Speed Signals, but I will try again....Thanks so much for the help...
