Det-Tol Problem

[Don6218]

Hello, a problem with switching has cropped up. When I am trying to get to the Freight at Materials Processing, the train just stops! Like it has been in a collision with something. In the previous version this was no problem to pick them up, now the train just stops, see pic.
I tried switching to manual with no success. Perhaps something with the Track Data Base?

I have made no changes to the route or consists.

Any suggestions? Otherwise a nice activity.

If you have TSRE you could visit the location and see what the problem may be. This sounds like a track vector was removed from the database.
Alternate would be to enable view track database items in OR. I saw mention of this a couple of days ago at the ET Forums.

Thank you Vince, I thought about using TSRE5 last evening, thought I would wait until today to see.

Another issue, although hard to explain, was when changing directions just after picking up the lumber car, everything is fine going through the switch and back out to the "main". The switch changes and the loco direction direction changes but stalls out. All this in Auto-Pilot, the controls are bouncing all over, a quick change to manual and throttle up and everything is OK. Now I have to keep it in Manual until the speed limit changes from the 40mph to 20mph while pushing the 2 cars to pick up at Materials Processing. I have not seen this before, I do recall someone mentioning about the Loco Controls bouncing erratically.

This will be a great route when all the bugs are worked out. I do like the scenery improvements, as rudimentary as they are, but it adds a lot to a well designed route. I saw in the Notes with the route, that the TDB may give some trouble, as well as a few other things. I hope this report helps tune out some of the issues so they can be corrected in the next update or so.

Det-Tol Problem

Hello again, here is a screen-shot from TSRE5 showing a definite problem with the tracks in the problem section outlined below. This is where the train stops, seems to hit something and stops dead.
How and what do I do to correct this? Is that the correct box to select to do whatever to get this fixed?
The Yellow line denoting the track centerline is missing in these sections.
Thank you.

Stuff like that is not really up to the downloader/user to correct. It needs a fix pushed out in the next Alpha to everyone who has it by the route author. Because what good is you fixing your copy when everyone else remains broken.

Hierarchy, people.

IF ( and this is a big if ) the route download has this problem.

I found it on my download of the beta, as well. It definitely looks like a vector went AWOL. Also troubling is that one of the siding markers there doesn't show up in TSRE, but can still be jumped to using the Navi window. Not sure what to make of that one...

Hello everyone, I have repaired the broken track pieces in question in TSRE5. Luckily there were no interactives on any of these pieces. Here's the link to the fix.
