There is no doubt that for some of us, understanding Trainz is a steep learning curve and if one doesn’t start until 2010 where the help files pre-suppose prior knowledge, there is a lot we don’t know. One feature I have trouble understanding is Railyard, so I would like to ask someone about it, and especially its relation to CM and Surveyor.I have tried to structure the following questions so that the person who replies can just number them and put a Yes or No behind them.
1.0 Does Railyard have any practical use other than being just a description of the asset, and a means of seeing what a loco or rolling stock looks like?
2.0 Is it meant to be a complete list of all rolling stock and Locos that you have in your Trainz program?
3.0 Is there a quick way of scrolling through the views without having the black transparent screen come across in front of the asset and restricting the view each time?
4.0 Is there a way of displaying the kuid for the asset being viewed?
5.0 Should all in-built, as well as all later downloaded locos and rolling stock be listed in Railyard?
6,0 When Favorite locos are 'ticked', should these items show up in CM under the tab ‘Favorite Locos?’
7.0 Is it only those ticked as Favorites, or are there others that somehow show up in CM under the tab Favorite Locos?
8.0 There seems to be no correlation between 'Favorites' in Railyard and Favorite Loco's in CM. Should there be?
9.0 If those ticked as Favorites in Railyard are supposed to list under the ‘Favorite loco’ tab in CM, is this where one finds the Kuid?
10.0 When Favorite loco’s are ticked in Railyard do these show up in Surveyor even if they dont show up in CM under Favourite locos Tab?
11.0 In the Surveyor tab menu on the RH side, some of the locos I have installed are not listed when first accessed. Does that menu only display in-built?
12.0 To get added locos to display I have to click on the ‘Content filter’ then ‘Clear’ to bring up these additional locos. Is that normal practice?
13.0 Is there an easier way of having these additional locos permanent in that list instead of having to clear the content filter each time
14.0 Is there a way of enlarging that little tab menu on RH side in surveyor so that the menu and what it contains is expanded or enlarged and more easily readable? 15.0 Is there a ‘Find’ function in Surveyor?
16.0 Does it find on an item name or kuid?
Hopefully these questions are second nature to some of you experts and easily answered but the answers will move my understanding and subsequent use along quite a lot. Make this easy on yourself and just answer Yes or No. I'll work it out from there. If any further info on anything is needed I can come back with a specific question. I would ask please that only those who know ALL the answers reply. Thanks. Cheers
