G'day All,
This is one if the strangest issues I think I've seen in Trainz, so far. It is similar to the issues discussed HERE, but only in a specific location.
There's a very specific area on a route I've been working on (modifying Approach Medium's P&B V2 route) wher any turntable I place, won't behave like a turntable.
The original area was added by pasting a previous version of work that I did on the original P&B route into the same area on the latest version. It included the turntable and trackwork. But now, the turntable won't work. i.e. in driver mode, when I click the arrows to make it rotate, the spinner moves but the invisible track attached to it remains fixed, so any train placed in it just remains stationary while the spinner rotates beneath it.
In trying to fault-find this, I've discovered that any turntable placed in this specific area will not automatically generate its attched track. I can get the invisible track to appear by moving the table out of the area and dragging it back in, or placing a new asset outside the affected area and dragging that into the spot, but it then doesn't function properly, as described above.
I hope these images can illustrate what I mean about newly placed assets. This one shows the original area with a ring of other turntables. See how the one in the middle doesn't have the blue and yellow tracks showng but the others do?
This one shows where I've tried deleting everything in that area and replacing all the textures, in case any of that was causing the issue, but you can see how there's clearly a specific area where the turntable won't generate (or operate) correctly. This happens for any turntable I try in this area.
I've tried saving the route as different versions, deleting it then re-importing it as well as doing a database repair, but nothing works. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions about what's going on?
Cheers,
Piere.
