I have recently started adding some European add-on routes. On some of these routes my train will be proceeding along and suddenly the engine and some wagons will start "bouncing" or twisting sideways, often resulting in a derailment, but not always. The latest route on which this occurs is "Haute Savoir", a French route. This behaviour always occurs at the same point(s) in a route.Does anyone know how to fix this or can you point me to an article that tells how to fix it?
Sounds like an early xtracks feature, that affects other routes. That is exactly what I got after using xtraxs version 2, on default routes. I am told that xtraxs 3.1 solves the problem, but I haven't had time to install it.David
Hmmm...now that you mention it, I did try Xtracks a few months ago and then gave up on it. I wonder if installing the latest version of Xtracks would solve the problem? Does anyone have any thoughts on the idea?Thank-you for this, it is the best suggestion I have had!
It may do. I installed xtraxs 2.0 for the S&C 1930s route, and it caused loads of derailments on my default route activities.Consequently I deleted the S&C 1930s route, and xtraxs 2, now everything runs OK. I am told that xtraxs 3 solves all problems, but I haven't installed it yet. Too busy, with stuff that works.David

Back where I started.Athlon 1.6 ghz GeForce 4 video card with latest drivers and 64mb memory Windows 98 256mb memory 80gb hard driveI will be proceeding along a line, always near a station, when the engine or wagons will reach a certain point and start going sideways for a bit. This usually results in a derailment, but sometimes it recovers and the train carries on. I have not seen this happen on American made routes, only on European ones. It is hard to believe I am the only one who has this problem; if so, something is really strange with my system. The problem always occurs at the same position(s) on the route.
I have had no problems of any kind with the european routes. The problem is xtraxs full stop. I will not install it again after all the problems I got with it. Luckily I only had to reinstall my NEC route, so it could have been worse.David
How do I purge the damage Xtracks did? I installed a route called "Natural King" about a week ago and it shows the problem coming out of "New Nil" (?) station. The old Xtracks was installed a few months ago.I guess my real question is, do I have to replace all routes or just the affected ones?
