Hello Trainz community. Its been a long time since I last communicated with you guys. As many on here have stated, simply, life got in the way. But now things are slowing down and I will try to get back on here whenever possible. By the way, Yes, i do miss you guys.
Long story short, I recently started attending Universal technical Institute, or UTI, as of October 1st 2012. I'm going for Automotive & Diesel Industrial Technology. I am more interested in the diesel portion of the program, but having the education and certification in the Automotive industry gives me something to fall back on.
My long term goal is to end up working in a Diesel locomotive shop, that way I'll be killing two birds with one stone. I've always wanted to work with trains, and I've always wanted to be a diesel mechanic.
I revived my TS2010 today, only to find that since it has been sitting on the shelf collecting cob webs for quite some time, it needs a decent tune up. By this, I mean that, it has some major problems I've never encountered before.
Here are the main ones:
1. When playing in surveyor, if i place an object (i.e. a car), it doesn't appear. But if i spin the camera around to where the car wouldn't be in the field of view, then come back, its there. Same for splines, textures, and just about everything else.
2. The game saves fine, but once it exits to the desktop, i get a white screen, followed horizontal purple lines moving from the bottom of the screen to the top. When this happens, my only option is to hold the power button until the computer turns off, then turn it back on again. Each time this happens, my system runs CHKDSK, and then the computer boots up and everything is back to normal. How can I resolve this before something bad happens?
3. Every so often, about every 5-7 minutes, the game will freeze for 5-10 secs., then when it unfreezes, half or all of my objects/ scenery are gone.
Thanks
