Avatars in Driver Mode arent the Avatars in Survey Mode

[davemare]

I am using TRS Platinum SP4 , and operate on a custom route. A couple of days ago, when I opened my session and went to Driver Mode to drive a session I have been working on, all of the avatars for the engineers had changed to a couple of women and men that repeat ( I have 15 engines so had 15 avatars previously). Shocked, i went back to Surveyor and found that all the avatars in the Edit session; Driver Edit were correct as prior to this event.

So I figured I set something different, even though I hadnt made any changes to drivers.

Well yesterday I ran Kickstarter just for a fun session, and guess what, all the avatars were changed to the same 4 repeating ones as in my session. Names are correct and avatars in Survey Edit Driver are correct.

Any one had this unusual event occur? any known solutions? Not critical to ops, however because I have large number of drivers, I tend to keep track of trains by the driver faces.

Thanks

I have never seen that happen, under Edit Drivers at the bottom are 4 check boxes, I have mine usally set to;

Checked
Checked
Unchecked
Checked

Have a look at this post for the drivercharacters in the locomotives. The animated driver portraits, in the lower left corner, could be disabled, showing the old portraits again.

Thanks for the ideas.

This doesn't appear to be a specific session issue, as I have the weird avatars in all my sessions on my custom route and the Kickstarter Country sessions with the same issue. So appears to be a base TRS issue.

My config file build is 4.9. Changed to 4.6 as per post but didnt change the avatars.

Changing the selection boxes on the bottom left corner of Edit Driver doesnt remove the new avatars. My current check box matches the suggested reply above.

Appears I am still in weird avatar land.

An update for everyone on this strange avatar change.

I finally located the configuration control for changing avatars from the Photo shown in Driver edit to something called Animated portrait.

In Driver Mode, the setting icon above the Driver's picture is called Track Profile Settings, select, the bottom check box is called Driver Portrait and if selected creates an animated avatar. Why who knows why you would want to do this, maybe a bored programmer..

Anyways when set it is used by all routes and sessions so it is a base trs19 setting.

One less weird thing to think about
