Drive AI refusing to Couple

[harry_storer]

Afternoon all, just like the title says, for the past few days since I updated trainz (Trainz 2022 Plus!) (build: 129343)

I find that no matter what route or locomotive I use (built in or DLS) the AI driver refuses to carry out the "Couple to" command, All I can see happening is the AI constantly switching on and off the: headlight, sanders and keeps changing direction.
I even tested this on a new route with nothing but a straight piece of track and yet still having no luck.

Is anyone else experiencing this Issue?

I just tested the Couple driver command (<kuid:-25:1573> Couple - installed from DLS) in build 129343 and it worked without any problems.

The built-in command works fine for me as well. I have had that blinking lights situation. This is the AI driver saying "Hey, wait a minute. I can't get there!"

You can get a bit more information by clicking on the small arrow located above the driver's face. This will open up a history of drivers' actions and messages. Scroll down until you see your current driver or with the list open, repeat the action. The message will appear again.

What causes this:

This is caused by something that's preventing the AI from carrying out its requested task. I had a signal turn red that was blocking the driver from entering the freight yard to couple on to some freight cars I was going to drive. There could be other things such as a broken track or a direction marker facing the wrong direction preventing the driver from driving on that track.

Don't have any problem with the buit-in command.
If you are looking for broken track, MAKE sure you tug on the track....as mine still looked connected until I moved the track and saw the break.

If you have Trainz Plus or TRS22PE then Surveyor 2.0 has a neat trick.

Just double left click on any track segment and all the joined track segments up to the next junction, end of track or break in both directions will be highlighted. A break in a join between two segments will show as one segment being highlighted but the next one is not.
