Unable to select locomotive

Post by Kiwisteam »

I'm having some real problems with locos on my route Manawai & Rollfort Railway and have withdrawn it from the library as a result. The probem is that when I put an engine down, I'm hardly able to select it and move it around and as ka959 reported, it's nigh impossible to select an engine to drive. Any ideas on how to fix?

I do realise that there is a problem with some of my NG stock not being selectable. This includes my "Talyllyn Route" CD models, the ones from the Phorum peninsula addon and a few models from this site.
The problems have been caused by the way 3D crafter exports multi LOD models and the fact that TRS2012 has also been rewritten to select models which has brought the problem to light.

The Talyllyn models and the Phorum Peninsula models were both corrected straight after I found out about the problem. A patch for the Talyllyn models has been released by Steve Pontin and is now availble. I offered the updated Phorum Peninsula NG models to RSC over 2 months ago but have heard nothing back from them. I'm not sure what I can do about this.

Unfortunately, my own computer has started to act up and no longer wants to play Railworks and so work on updating other models came to a stop.

Thinking about it again, I could try releasing some patches for the models without me actually trying them in RW's myself. I'll see what I can do over the next couple of days.

Cheers,
Kevin

Hi Kevin

The Corris locos are affected as well as someone has reported not being able to use the narrow gauge section of The Big Layout. A fix would be useful :D

A shame and a bit odd given Derek from RSC was on here over the Xmas holiday, extolling the virtue of PP:- http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic. ... m#p1505897 (Page 1).

Unfortunately I have come to the conclusion that narrow gauge route building in Railworks is not a viable proposition at the present time, simply due to the ongoing lack of resources and the fact that even the little bit of "official" NG stuff we have lacks the necessary updates.
