Missing Traffic

[Lacker]

Hi all
It has been a long time since I last needed to install road traffic but I am having to do so now.
Sadly in between time a stroke has somewhat played havoc with my memory and I have hit a snag. I cannot get traffic whatever I do. So far I have ensured It is enabled in route settings, have tried several regions and tried lots of different roads that I know support traffic, but remain empty.
It seems obvious to me I am missing some setting but I can't think what Can anybody help me please?

Does the Region asset associated with the Route have all the vehicles it depends on installed? When you said route settings, did you mean the traffic toggle in the Environment edit menu?

 

[Lacker]

yes to both questions, cheers

Just in case, if you are expecting traffic while in Surveyor it won't work until you un-pause, animations are paused in surveyor. icon top left with spanner, top item is Pause, untick it.

Well blow me down you learn something every day.
Malc you were absolutely spot on, un-ticking pause did the trick. Thank you so much for your help very much appreciated. Thank you also to Dinorius for responding.

Regards Bruce

I learned something new too. Is this pause animations button a new thing in TRS19? I spend all my time in TANE and never noticed it there.

It first appeared in Plus some time ago then Platinum, think it's now in all versions. It's part of the unified driver surveyor thing.

One of the "hazards" of switching from Driver to Surveyor using the UDS (a feature that is now my favourite of all) is that any consists that are moving in Driver when you make the switch will continue to move in Surveyor. This can lead to derailments and other "nasty" events. So clicking on Pause or hitting the P key in Driver before switching is essential.

Not sure if TRS19 (standard) has the UDS or not (probably not) but Pause is also useful for stopping animated assets (e.g. moving container lifts) from running while in Surveyor.
