I noticed that someone had raised this issue previously, but there are no replies. Many thanks. Norm
It will depend on which version of TRS19 you are moving from.
The Cause:
TRS19PE has the UDS feature which gives you the option of stopping all animations and sounds when in Surveyor mode. This feature is also found in TRS22 (both versions). TRS19 (standard) did not have this feature.
Typically, when you use the UDS to switch from Driver to Surveyor, all the consists will be in their current positions and obeying their current orders or actions (e.g. moving, loading, unloading, stationary) at the instant you made the switch. This means that any moving consists will continue moving in Surveyor and would, eventually, derail or collide with other consists, the end of track, etc. To prevent this all movement, including animations and sounds, is automatically halted when you switch from Driver to Surveyor via the UDS.
In TRS19 (standard) the only way you could switch from Driver to Surveyor was by halting and exiting Driver, starting Surveyor and reloading the session from the very start. Moving consists is not a problem.
The Solution:
You can start animated assets moving and sounds playing in Surveyor by opening the
Tools Menu from the top menu bar and unchecking the
Pause option. But be aware that if you have entered Surveyor directly from Driver via the UDS then any consists that were moving in Driver will immediately start moving in Surveyor and the result will, eventually, be a disaster. If you have started Surveyor directly from the start screen then this will not be a problem.
