Navigate to trackmark?

[hotchillies]

I'm trying to get something like a "Navigate to Trackmark" for my AI driver to find a path to, like in this old video https://youtu.be/-zmcxCEJK-k?t=282 but the only option I have is to select an Industry to navigate to. I feel like it may have been in build 96000 but maybe I'm mistaken?

I can "Drive to Trackmark", but the AI chooses the shortest path which is not what I want as there are uncoupled wagons on the track he needs to go around. I can't use "Run Around" as the loco is pulling a tender which confuses Trainz and I get the message complaining the loco was stuck in the middle of the train (which it was because of the tender)


Basically my loco is pointed at the wagons, and needs to get around the wagons on a different line to trackmark2, then backup and couple up the tender to the wagons


TRACKMARK1=====TENDER-LOCO>>========= WAGON-WAGON====================TRACKMARK2


TRACKMARK1=========================WAGON-WAGON-TENDER-LOCO>>=========TRACKMARK2

Ah never mind figured it out. Had to use Drive Via trackmark on parallel track and beyond then Couple To back to the front end of consist.

Pulling a tender, which is what many steam locos do, should never confuse Trainz when given a "Run Around Train" command. At least I have never come across a situation where a loco + tender has ever failed to attempt a "Run Around". Sometimes they fail to complete the command because of other issues (signal issues, points too close together, etc). So I would suspect that something else is causing the problem here.

Make sure you have engine 0 in the config of the tender.
