track moves by itself

[joefromrandolph]

hello and thanks for reading.. When I lay track, as soon as it touches a previously laid track a large section of track jumps and wraps around itself in odd shapes. When I try and delete the messed up track, new messed up tracks appear.I am now also having trouble with roads. I just put down an overpass and attached a section of road to the end and a dirt trail appeared and it curves between all the splines on the overpass.. Help..

Hi there,

Have you patched TS12 at all? This was a problem in builds earlier than the latest pre-SP1 and post-SP1 build numbers.

The build number is on the bottom-right of the Launcher. If it's less than 49922, go to http://www.auran.com/servicepacks/ and download the correct patch/es.

Then do some research and decide whether you want to go to SP1 or not.

Kieran.

Welcome to Trainz.

Please only make the same topic once;

Thanks!

Start with patching your version to 49922 and if the problem still exists, reply with as much detail as you can.

Press the control (Ctrl) button when you lay the adjoinig track. It keeps the tracks from wanting to merge when you release the mouse button.

Press the control (Ctrl) button when you lay the adjoinig track. It keeps the tracks from wanting to merge when you release the mouse button.

That should be Shift to prevent the splines connecting, not Ctrl.

Ctrl is used to string spline sections together in one sequence. See:

I knew it was one of them, but close only counts in Horseshoes.

now I am getting pissed.. I opened my session in surveyor and a piece of track had gone underground.. I hit the smooth button to lower the land around the track.. and when I did this is what happened to a straight piece of track..

Never do any track editing (or any scenery for that matter) when editing a session. A session should ONLY have consists and session rules, nothing else. If there is anything else in your session, like tracks, then THAT explains your problem.

Someone asked you what the build of your TS12 was; mind answering that question as it might explain your problem.

OOOHHHH...LOL My build is 58414. Do you know how I can get all my content back to the route and off the session? The only stuff on my route is terrain and landscape.. Thanks for the help..
