Hi;
I created a very large route using DEMs and track splines in TransDem. I have this route with miles of track. When I open the route in Surveyor, all layers except session are initially locked. I can unlock them, but this is peculiar because when I open any other route in Surveyor the default is for the layers to be unlocked. If I unlock the layers and then save the route with a new name, the layers are still locked in the new route.
Now, when I place a locomotive on any track, save the session (or the route and session) and run quick drive, I cannot drive the train. First off, quick drive opens at the world origin, and not at the single loco I have placed. When I go to that loco using Find Object, I can hear its motor running, and can sound the horn, but I can't do anything else. Can't turn on the lights, cannot drive the train. Trying to move any controls inside the cab has no effect. I can blow the horn, but only by pressing the H on the keyboard; not by pulling down the horn lever. None of the levers move when I mouse and click on them.
This issue does not occur in any other route, so somehow this route has become corrupt.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that when I exported track splines from TransDem I chose to put them onto the "track" layer, which I had created on the map before opening it for edit and exporting the splines from TransDem.
At this point, I am totally frustrated. I have been having trouble with occasional system freeze while running TS12+SP1 in OpenGL mode, and I have had a few instances where Windows (7 ultimate+SP1 64-bit) won't even start. I get the black screen at startup telling me that Windows failed to start because a device was inaccessible. I ran Windows repair tool and supposedly fixed that problem. Before all of that, I had not tried to run a train on this route. Now I am thinking that everything is somehow related.
Any ideas? Or should I do a clean re-install of Windows and then Trainz?
