Jim-Might it be possible to create an "autosave" feature that, say every minute, will write to the .crs file the location of all the cars in the current yard? I'd just spent the last hour-plus sorting cars and, when the game crashed, I lost all that work.(Crash caused by clicking on car in stopped cut, opening the View Train window via menu, highlighting car, and clicking the Email: Yes button. I rec'd some sort of invalid operation error and poof the prog closed. It was a car I had created.)-Dave

RE: "Autosave" feature?

I guess I could make and autosave option to do something like this. I haven't had this problem because the map's contents are saved whenever you travel from map to map, which I tend to do a lot. In the meantime you can always use the 'Save Contents' command to avoid losing your work.Jim
