track priority markers revert

[old_bill]

Hi to all in Trainz Land.

Bit of a problem, I find that my Track Priority Markers keep reverting back to 2 in both TR12 and T:ane after I save a session very annoying as I use 1 and 3 as my main up-line and down-line markers in AI.

Can't find anything on forums hence new thread,

Does any one else have this problem? Any help will be appreciated.

I have noticed this even in TRS2006 when saving a session ... Perhaps saving the route layer would do the trick ? I use Track directional markers pointing towards a train, to make it take an alternate path

I always save those in the route and never had problems with them.

I have not installed TANE SP2 yet though, so don't know if that changes anything.

An old problem: You set the marker with a level, say 3. If you set it on the route, it will stay. Now set the loco to this 3. It will faithfully execute actions based on 3 level. Now bring the loco to a portal and emit it after a set time. The loco comes out at the default number, probably 2, and you have to set it again or will not work as intended. I can't see a way out of this problem. Matter has been raised several times over the course of years but no solution has been found. To compound problems, on certain cases, save a session, and when you return to it next day, the loco is back to default!

Some of you may say that what comes out of a portal is not the same as what went in. True, but same settings applied to carried commodities, could be applied to the settings. I consider this to be a low level fix-priority case, but at some point a solution could be offered...

Not the perfect solution, but I have an asset on the DLS that can set the (maximum speed and) priority of consists based on a bunch of options. Try setting that a train length outside of the portal?
