Is the Data for a Session Stored in a Text Format Anywhere in the TRS2010 Folder?

[wklang]

Is the data in a session stored anywhere in the TRS2010 folder in text format?

I ask this because - in developing a route - I make the changes in Surveyor, then edit a session in which I put the instructions for each AI train.

I then save the route with a different version number (e.g. MyRoute_001, MyRoute_002, etc...).

In returning later to this saved route, I sometimes find my saved session; othertimes when I open the session for edit, the instructions for the drivers are not there.

With one or two trains, it's not a big deal to re-enter the data, but for 8-10 trains, it's a pain.

What I'm really hoping is that I can cut-and-paste the instructions for each driver from a backup text file.

Thanks

When I need to use the same driver instructions more then once I use the 'Schedule Library' rule to create a list of schedules.

Then for each driver I want to issue them to I use 'Copy Commands' from the library.

Thanks, Bill,

I'm not acquainted with the Schedule Library Rule.

Do you have any idea where I find information on it? Is it part of the basic TRS2010 or do I get it from another source?

It is built it for 2010.

Simply add it in edit session rules.

Edit it, you will see option to create a schedule, creating a schedule here works just like when you edit a driver. You can even create groups of schedules.

To issue a schedule to a driver, edit the driver and use "copy commands from".

You may have to edit the "driver commands" rule to enable it.

A little experimentation and you will easily have it figured out. So easy even I figured it out right away.

edit to add: Above mentioned website advises not to use it as drivers first command, makes sense. Start with a few seconds delay or perhaps even a wait for trigger command like I like often use.

It is.

Works really great if you create several sessions in the same general area in a route. Create a group for that area, bam, instant reusable background traffic.
