Free Drive??

[joeyreardon]

Is there free drive in TRS22?? My 8 year old son can't find it. Thanks

Depends what you mean by "Free Drive".

The program itself has nothing unless a route and session have been loaded. It is the session that decides if a user can select what loco to drive and where to drive it - what I would call a "Free Drive". Some sessions have nothing but directed or controlled drives where you are given a task to perform (e.g. take a particular train from A to B stopping at X, Y and Z and picking up/dropping off wagons and/or commodities along the way).

It all depends on the creator of the route and session. Some sessions are labeled "Free Drive" to indicate that you can choose what to do but, again, it depend on the session creator.

My thoughts.

Im not sure, as I know nothing about these games lol... he said in TRS19 He could just pick any train and drive it anywhere.. like quickdrive maybe

He downloads trains from K&L and drives them??? I dunno

In newer versions of TRS19 and up, Quick Drive/Free Drive is gone. You will have to find a session that comes with the route or make a session called "Quick Drive".

Just use "Create Session" as you did Quick drive. Place down a consist somewhere and switch to drive mode and go.
