Milepost's How to set them up

Post by Retro »

Hi,
There is probably and obvious answer to this but having been playing around with trying to place Milepost's on my Route they always read zero. How do you place Milepost's and get them to accurately count the miles?
Thanks and Regards James (As dense as ever)

Double click the milepost to bring up the properties box. You can set the mileage from their.
I usually place my mileposts before signalling. A signal can be placed in the distance, and then in free roam mode you should get the distance to the next signal. This can be used to place mileposts every mile.

Hi,
Thanks P.G. and Paul. I tried for an ages double clicking and got nothing but I was being misled by those thingy's that go between the track and thought they might set automatically as the speed limits do. Tried this morning and the of course double click worked.
Thanks again for replying so quickly
Regards James.
