Moving vehicle traffic on roads

[cocoscot]

This very possibly has been covered before but I can't find it. Why is it that some maps have moving cars on roads and others don't even when I use the car spawner and / or car generator. Can anyone advise me as to what I'm doing wrong. I prefer traffic moving on the roads as it adds that little bit of extra realism

route creators can specify if they want moving traffic or not. to change this you can click on the little car icon in the spline tab under objects in surveyor.

Vehicle traffic

Hi Peter, thanks for your reply. I have pressed the car icon and don't get a response. I merged a map which had moving traffic onto the one I'm working on now to see if that would do the trick but to no avail Both maps are showing only empty roads.

There must be something I'm doing or not doing. As I said in my last post I've tried using the car spawner and car generator to no avail . .
Ah well, maybe the streets are made to be quiet.

regards

If you use the 'Default' region, the cars don't show up. You have to change it to some other region. I had the same problem for the longest time until someone finally explained it to me...

i too have had the same problem for ages now. I did have traffic now I don't. I know about the toggle traffic button and also about not running in default. I have also got traffic with a new route and merged it but it just cancelled the new routes traffic. It is not essential but like you I like to see cars especially at level crossings. I have searched every thread and even googled it so if you find an answer please let me know

Moin,

Maybe you have merged them in the wrong way?
While merge two routes, you must add the route without traffic to the new one with traffic, not reverse. Works for me without problems.

And for the question about regions with and without traffic, Bob have written an excellent overview list here: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=69076

Hope it helps a little...

...And if you want to know how a region for controlling traffic and cars used is made...

TS2010 handles traffic on roads a little bit different from previous versions. Explained there on the tutorial.

Preventing Carz Showing

Some things that can prevent carz from showing on roads are:

1. A carrate tag set to 0 in the config.txt file of a road kuid.

2. The tag holdcarz set to 1 in a routes config.txt file.

3. No cars will appear in a route if the region file (kind region) doesn't have a list of car kuids. Example is the default region.

4. To prevent all cars in all routes, put the following tag in the trainzobjects.txt file:
-disablecarz=1

Hi Don? Thanks so much for your reply. I only thought of your answer last night but dismissed it. i merged my routes the right way today and bingo! traffic. I am so grateful. Your english is excellent, I spent 21/2 years in the forces in Germany in the 60,s but never quite managed the language,though I got by. Thanks again Beaky
