can some one help me please
i set up the nycta2007 by downloading all file/dependiences and also the train sets but no signals and the train wont stop automatically at the stations can some 1 help?

Hi, Trains wont automatically stop at stations, you will have to tell them to do so using the 'Drive To..' or Drive To Trackmark....' driver commands, followed by a wait command to get the train to stop at the station for a period of time determined by yourself. You would then need new commands to get the train to drive to the next station and wait again, and so on..

thank you both and for my last question do u set the signals ur self or is it a certain thing you do?

 

[llebrez]

Signals in Trainz operate automatically. Just locate them in the proper places and they will "allow" trains to go pass if the line ahead is clear. It has noting to do with setting runs to stations to pick-up passengers.

no when i mean set i meant do u have to download them and place them in the route?

In servayor click on the rail tab, then clich the centre tab of the three that are along the top serch through the list till you find the type you require depending on eara and country click on the one you whant then click on the add sign if not alredy on then click on where you whant it on your track.

If the type you whant is not there then go in to the CMP or CM2 depending on which version of trainz you have and download it from the download helper.

I went to this site but there are NO tutorials to be found anywhere. In fact the entire site contains TRS2004 specifications and nothing else.

Telling people to go somewhere for a tutorial is not a good idea if the tutorial doesn't exist.

lol i know i keep asking questions but surely this is my last question ok i set up the signals and signs for A route (nycta2007) i placed every train and all that in there sections i set up the trackmark and all of that but when i run the train the train slows down at the trackmark but doesnt stop what is the drivers command that i would need to have the train stop completely at the station

Okay, I concede defeat. There are some tutorials mixed up with all the hype, but they're immediately recognizable when you first visit the site. None of the links have the word "Tutorial" attached to them. Despite my conceding, JRT should supply a link to the tutorial in particular so that people don't have to spend a hour searching for it like i just did.

...And I still haven't found it!

this is a good site , old, but with a lot of usefull information .
It has even photo's of the good old days ( when they had a whole team )

Babeboy,

These are all good questions that almost everyone has when they start. The answers are complicated and sometimes contradictory because Trainz can be used in many different ways. There are also differences caused by different countries and different railway companies using different signalling systems.

On any layout that you create yourself, you have to add the signalling yourself. There are some video tutorials on signalling here and some text-based tutorials here. The first is for Australia and the second for the USA but most of the basic principles they cover apply generally.

For layouts that you download, they may already have signalling or they may not, or you may want to change it. Bear in mind that changing a layout's signalling may prevent a Driver session or scenario to fail due to it being written for the layout's original signalling setup.

Trains, static rolling stock, junctions, and end-of-track buffers will all set signals automatically.

A TRS2004 scenario can change the state of a signal by means of an instruction in its coding. I suspect that a Driver session can too by means of an appropriate Rule but I don't know enough about Driver sessions to be sure.

Keep experimenting, keep reading the manual, keep searching the Trainz web sites for answers - and if you can't find the solution keep asking.

HTH, John
