Saving AI schedule with session

[jbanetman]

Hi, all. Sorry if a duplicated thread, but haven't seen this question answered. I have successfully made a test route with some Interactive Industries - the powerstation, the oil refinery and the coal mine. I have an AI train to do the coal hauling to the powerstation, and another AI train to haul the diesel fuel.
I set the AI trainz up with their route orders, and off they went. So far so good. But after saving a new session with the AI trainz having their orders, when I reload the session the AI trainz don't have their orders, and I have to give them the orders again before they start doing their jobs. How do I edit the session properly so that the AI trainz retain their orders on where to drive to/unload/load etc? I know it must just be a matter of doing it the right way, since the Harbormaster route with 2010 has an AI train running a route when I start it.

With your session open in surveyor go to 'File' then 'Edit Session' then select 'Driver Set Up'. Use this to add your driver commands to their associated engines and click on the tick to save. When you then open the route in surveyor the trains to which you have added orders will go merrily off on their way and follow their orders. If you then save the session part way through the progress of the commands will be preserved when re-opened in 'Driver' under 'Saved Sessions'

Thanks. At first it didn't save the trainz orders, when I overwrote the same session. But when I created a new session, made the changes and saved it, the orders saved with the trainz, and the AI trainz followed their route, when I started up Driver. I noticed other trainzers mentioning that 2010 is finicky about new sessions versus editing an already saved one. Thanks again.
