Sinking Traffic Advice

[railsong]

A question about traffic sinking on road intersections. I am running TS2010EE and am building a route with a small town. For the streets I am using these assets: Road with Sidewalk ,<kuid:93607:37024>, Road T intersection with Sidewalks 2(Right) <kuid2:52519:51211:4>, Road Corner Intersection (90) <kuid2:93607:37054:1>, Invisible Road 2L BNSF50 <kuid2:39134:101049:2>. I am using the invisible road with the T intersections and with the 90 degree corner intersection. When the traffic gets to the corner intersections and when turning corners at the T intersections the cars sink into the road at these points only. On the roadways they are OK. It seems that maybe the invisible road I have installed is where they sink. But without the invisible road the traffic just disapears at the intersections as there is no continuity. I would appreaciate any help as to what I am doing wrong here. Thanks....

Try roads that match the intersections. BNSF50 roads work well with the corresponding intersections. Maddy's YARN roads work well with those and as well as her YARN intersections. Since you're using TS2010, you can easily replace the roads using the replace asset tool.

Thanks John, for the advice. I am new with Trainz and I don't know about the replace assets tool. Where do I find it? Is it in the tools tab?

Your invisible road connection is sinking. You need to add a spline point halfway through the turn and make sure it is the same height as the start point. Carl

It's under the Main Menu in Surveyor - Replace Assets

You need to drag the names of the items from the body of the list in the choose assets box to the replace assets dialogue, not, as many have discovered from the top line otherwise it doesn't work!

Thanks all for the advice. I will give it a try. In trying to match roads and intersections in the choose assets dialog there seems to be 2 or 3 assets with the same name. How do you determine which one of the assets is by the same author in the surveyor menus? I have tried to get the vertice heights and get them all the same, but the object vertice heights won't let me change them. I will try the mid point spline same height as the starting point and see if it will help. Thanks again.

:'( Well I have tried everything that you have mentioned and I just can't get the sinking traffic fixed. Oh well, just have to be pleased with it the way it is. Thanks again....
