In Driver mode no more messages history

[jjeff1955]

In Driver mode messages have stopped showing no more message history.
There were Driver messages showing engine temps and other messages of up comming stations and track marks.
Has disapeared for no reason. I di not change anything in the settings.

I have the same exact Trainz installed on my other back up PC and it is working perfectly. I compared all the settings and they are exactly the same settings.
I also have tried uninstalling Trainz and doing a clean re-install, creating a new local folder with the same issue.

The messages (and I am guessing that you mean the "pop up" messages that appear during the running of a session) are controlled only by the session, not by any Trainz settings that I am aware of. The only reasons that I can think of that would stop them from appearing are:-

1. they have been manually removed from the session - this would require knowledge of using the Session Editor and Session Rules and is less likely.
2. you are not running the session - the more likely explanation.

Is it possible that you have loaded the route, which contains all the rolling stock, and not the session into Surveyor and you have selected Drive Session from the Tools menu? This will run the "Default" session that is automatically activated when a route only (without the session) is loaded into Surveyor.

When this happens to me it is usually because I've accidentally turned off message history. If 22 doesn't have the same icons on the screen, my answer won't help.

When running Driver in Trs19 there in the lower left corner is the image of the selected driver / engineer. (It doesn't matter which driver is sellected for what we are doing.)

Just above the driver image there are one or two tool icons. If there are no current messages, you might see just one, a gear with a wrench on it. If there are messages, a triangle will be left of the gear icon.

Left click on the gear icon. Make certain "Show Message History" is selected. Left click the gear again to hide the list.

If the triangle left of the gear icon is visible, it needs to be pointing downward. Left click on it if it isn't.

If your situation is similar to mine, you should be able to see messages again.

There use to be a arrow up icon for the messages and it has disapeared.

Also, I previously (in TRS19) could right click on the lead locomotive of a consist and it would show the locomotive's specs, AND if there is a problem ahead down the line somewhere, it would show the problem (switch is missing lever, derailment ahead, no path to selected destination, etc. etc.) This is no longer the case. It only shows the loco's specifications, and no other information now.

Check your screen resolution settings (both the screen and Trainz). Sometimes things disappear of the bottom of the screen because the screen resolution does not match the resolution setting in Trainz Settings --> General Tab.
