Switch Problems on Fixed Track?

[Ethanec8]

Hi all,

Recently I downloaded a few routes from Check Rail. I think they're great routes but I'm having trouble with switching the switches on the EVWR route and the EK3 route. You can't see the switch arrows down at track level but when you zoom into map view you can. The problem is, at map view the switches don't switch. when you click them they only blink. The only thing I notice that's different in these scenarios compared to others is that these have fixed track with the yellow circles instead of white. The build for the routes is 3.5 which if I'm not mistaken should work in regular TS12.

Thanks!

Are you trying to change the switches in Surveyor? Some one-piece FT switches (example Ocemy CHN ones) can only be switched in Driver. Typically those that don't need wiring unlike the Russian types.

This is odd because the versions of these routes I have installed have regular spline-type switches. I even merged these two routes into another of mine to make an extensive central US Appalachian to Great Plains route similar to the old MOPAC.
I did find a missing lever on the EVWR though. This is just at a river crossing where the wye leg is located. I fixed that and now the trains move right on to the portals as expected.

I've tried to change the switches in surveyor and in sessions and they still don't work. Could it be possible that a dependency for a lever wouldn't register on content manager for any reason? Also I tried replacing the track and the same thing happens except the switch doesn't even show. When I move out to map view it just shows the wye with no arrows.

Ethan,

Have you tried doing a replace function rather than a manual replacement in Surveyor?

Also do not attempt this in the session. Do this in the route its self.

Again, my version is all spline track and other than a single missing lever, everything was else is fine.

If I may ask, what was that lever kuid?
