Guide Camera Sphere no longer works in Trainz Plus Build 129343

When I try to place a Guide Camera Sphere in Trainz Plus TRS22 Build 129343, nothing happens. Is it being discontinued?

Loads fine for me in Trainz Plus 129876. What are you expecting it to do? As I remember it is a surveyor only asset that just provides a reference for the radius that a camera will detect a train and switch to it. It is just an inanimate object.

Hi Wreeder
Quote:"What are you expecting it to do?" I'm expecting it to provide camera spacing, which it has done for me for 20 years. By overlapping the spheres slightly, I am able to provide continuous unbroken tracking in Camera view 3, " Line side", however, when I click to install the spheres, they just don't appear, and I'm not able to properly adjust the camera spacing. You say that you are getting it in Trainz Plus 129876. That is the latest Beta Version which means that the problem may have been resolved by N3V
Thanks,
Joe

Ah, I see. That makes sense. TP 130472 is the latest beta, my stable is 129876. I had the sparkling tree issue in SP5 so I applied the Hot Fix to it to fix the trees. I tried it in 130472 just now and it works there too, So whatever was wrong must be fixed as you said.

I tried it in both versions of surveyor and HD terrain and 10m grid. All good.

I just opened a support ticket with N3V and they've already acknowledged it. It's about 9am in Australia so I might get an answer by tomorrow.

Also works just fine in Trainz22PE 129335. Was any other scenery object not appearing. That Guide doesn't do anything except look pretty so I don't see why it would misbehave without the same issue affecting other objects.
