Trainz 2009 Traffic and Roads

[ashbash2010]

Can anyone tell me what the best road is too use for Trainz 2009. I just want to use the Content that came with Trainz 2009 as Im only just starting to build for the first time.

Also Traffic sometimes does not appear what causes this????

Question 1: Just use the road that you like best!

Question 2: The cars that appear on a road relate to what geographical region you pick when you create a new route. Region types include Australia, Germany, America ect. The reason that there are no cars is because you are using the default region, which has no cars. Try switching to a region other than the one that first comes up when you create a new route.

Hope this helps!

Do all the roads have correct juntions???

I can see in the buildings sections there is crossroads and bends to connect splines to. Can these best used with any road

 

[captainkman]

The scenery object intersections are able to be used with any road, but the junction does not change its colour to suit the road. Also, cars that come into the crossing will not change lanes. They will simply disappear, as if there is no road. The cars go straight through without any problems on the bend pieces if you connect them to road.

Hope this helps!

So there's regions in TS2009 aswell? Thanks! In the older version i had, the 2004 one, you decided the region when you amde the route, but now i can't find it. How do you change the region?

how to find the region settings

its the same. when you make a new route, it will ask in the beginning. if you need to change it in an already existing route than you go up to main menu in surveyor and then click edit route and change your region and measurement units.

Edit Route to change the Region is not available in TS2009 build 41844. I don't know if 44653 provides this feature or not.

I can confirm that build 44653 has the Edit Route option (with the ability of selecting a geographical region)
