Route Building Rocks
I have a couple of things I need to ask regarding certian things I've noticed while playing TRS 2022 and instead of making individual threads for them, I thought it would be best to organize them into a single thread since I dont think each of these warrant having their own threads. With that out of the way lets jump into the questions.
1) Legacy Rulers becoming invisible....or not?
Recently, I've run into a werid bug where legacy rulers dont appear on certain portions of a route. You can place them down but they're invisible. This happens when a route of mine gets to a certian length, and the areas where it happens in are in the older sections, usually close to the origin baseboard. I do know there TRS 22 has spline rulers and those I have transitioned into using for routes going forward just to avoid said issue. Although, I will still use the legacy rulers for certian tasks since those are the ones Im more accustomed to using. However, on one of my recent route projects, I noticed something strange. The route in question is well over 60miles in length, but new legacy rulers I place down are not invisible. I haven't run into the same issue as I have with my previous projects and its gotten me confused. But I do have some theories. One is that this bug only effects routes carried over from TRS 2019 and not routes started in TRS 2022, as the routes Ive had it happen in were started in TRS 2019. Another theory is that because I've mainly been using the spline ruler for most of the route, that the bug with the legacy rulers doesn't occur. Im not sure if any of these make sense so I'd like to know what you guys think.
2) Is there a keyboard command that allows you to switch between the route and session layer?
One problematic occurrence I've been running into when playing TRS 22 is saving and exiting suveyor mode, and going back only to find portions of my progress missing. I eventually learned that it was because I had *somehow* been placing some of my stuff on the session layer. The warning signs of this result in signals and junctions' numbers resetting, going from "Junction 52987" to "Junction 1", and I've had it happen a couple of times now that I know to switch those assets to the route layer as to not loose my progress. Now I put emphasis on the "somehow" because I dont know how this is happening. Doing something on the wrong layer isnt an alien concept to me. Im a digital artist, and I've had moments where I realize that I was coloring, sketching, or inking on a layer where I was wasn't supposed to be doing any of that. But in those instances, they usually because I had went on that layer to do something else and I forgot to switch to a different layer. Basically, the only way I could see myself doing something on the wrong layer was if I had intentionally gone on that layer in the first place. I rarely, if at all, go on the session layer when messing in surveyor mode. There really isnt a reason for me to go on that layer, especially knowing stuff wont save if you put anything there. In fact, any cases where I somehow ended up on the session layer I never notice until it happens. Because of this, Im starting to wonder if there's a keyboard command Im accidentally pressing that allows you to switch between the route and session layers. That's the only reason I can explain for causing these occurrences but what do you guys think?
3) .....Why?
This next is going to be hard to explain so I guess I'll just let the picture speak for itself.
I've noticed this with all of my routes where there's a gap in the embankment, and it produces this weird optical illusion where it looks like the track is burried even though its not. This is honestly baffling for me because I have not seen this ugly optical illusion in any of the routes I have that were either packaged with the game or made by others, regardless of their age. I honestly don't get why this has only been an occurrence with my routes since Im sure the idea of having a break in the embankment for something like a bridge isnt exclusive to me. Has this been happening with anyone else and how can I stop it?
And those are all of my questions pretty much
