Route glitching when I try to edit it.

[StarTrekFan]

Hello, so I am trying to add electrification to the Western Mainlines route from JT, but run into an issue when I try and save it. Basically, I cloned the route using TS-Tools and added some electrification to the tracks at Penzance but when I go to save the route, the editor freezes then for some reason the tracks get deleted from the route. Any ideas what could be causing this?

I know there is an issue sometimes with using the editor on the 64bit version, and made sure I was using the 32bit one. Also, I deleted the cloned version and did the cloning process again but still ran into the same issue.

Thanks

I have seen something similar where the Track Tiles folder and/or Tracks.bin folder have been set to read-only, as I have done on my route to prevent me from accidentally wrecking the track. If I do accidentally move anything which sits in these folders the Sim locks up, the track disappears and I have to restore the Track Tiles and Tracks.bin from my copy........so perhaps check this first.

Even though the editor seems to freeze it's still saving in the background and the bigger a tracks.bin is the longer it takes to save (Western Mainlines is one of the biggest) so leave it like 10 mins to save and it should eventually do so.

Just to add..

There was, but that was fixed years ago so you can use the 64 bit version of the game quite happily.

Thanks, I guess I will have to check the files and see if I can change them. Also in the meantime, I decided to try and build a route for the first time, but cant seem to find the tracks I want. I have loaded tracks from various assets such as JT WCML and KHS and all of them are already set for third rail. Do you know of any tracks for high speed running that use overhead wires as the source?

You can set any track to be OHLE, that's just set in the properties box--are you expecting the OHLE itself to automatically appear when you lay track?

I was just trying to find a way so that when I lay the track it already has the correct type of electrification already, so I don't have to select the track and change it for every section.

Are you using an appropriate track rule?---dead easy to copy/paste and edit an existing rule to suit your own route.
