Bent track after reentering saved session

[stouthm]

I've replaced all the track, deleted the log loader (Slugsmasher's) and replaced it. Entered the session and everything is fine. Took a ride and then saved it. Closed out the game. Reentered, chose 'Saved Sessions' and this is what happens every time. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

Have you checked that the track spline is actually joined to the log loader. Try moving it or running a vehicle over it (it will derail if not joined). I have had this happen occasionally for no apparent reason.

John, I can drive to the log loader, load the logs and continue on my route. If I save the session and then reenter at a later time I get what you see in the screenshot. I think I'e tried every fix but will continue to tinker with this. Thanks for replying.

Are you running the latest patch? There were issues I know with earlier versions, but I never experienced them, so I don't know what to say on this.

I'm using 44088 and I think that's the latest patch. I thought I had found the problem, a bad spline point farther down the track, repaired it thinking everything was okay and went to dinner. Ran the route again but I'm still getting the screwed up track at the log loading. The spline point is fixed so right now I'm at a lost as to what is causing this. If I find out I will put the solution here so that it may help others.

clam 1952 - that was one of the first things I did, wire mode. Nothing that I can see

ct_krogen - thanks for the offer but I think it has something to do with the switches and I'll continue to tinker with this for now. I may take you up on the offer later. I solved the kink in the track but now some of my switches turn all red and the consist come to a halt when they get to those switches. On top of that the consist will not stop at any passenger station. They just ignore the command. I checked the stations setup and eveything appears to be ok. I think I'll step away for a day or two and come back with a fresher view. Maybe I'll even play Trainz.

It maybe that your session has become corrupt. I've had the situation where drivers have gone past stations when this happens. It baffled me at first, but then out of a hunch I deleted the session and remade it and everything went back to normal.

Totally weird, I know.

ooo if you switch is red then the switch lever needs to be moved closer to the switch...

The switches are placed correctly. I'm baffled as to the nature of this problem. Ct_Krogen, the route is on the dls. It's named 'Sherwood Mtn Railroad Updated'. The problem area is at the Sherwood Logging area. I'm going to start a new thread about this.
