I posted this earlier but only got one response that didnt help at all.
So after I figure out the switching puzzle ON THE Boron Local and get back in front of the empties headed to barstow, I get cleared onto the single track with a highball and about a mile or so out i get this. was I early or what? Why did the dispatcher clear me through if there was a train opposing? Please help me Marc or somebody!
Cheers,
Randy

RE: Attn: Marc or anyone from 3DTRAINS........

Since Kuju's AI dispatcher obviously smokes crack, there are a couple of things you could try,One. If you're comfortable with the activity editor, change your start time by 10-15 minutes, so that you start either earlier or later.Two. If you're not comfortable with the editor, you could drive slower (or faster assuming you're not going the speed limit already) and try to reach this point 10 mins earlier (or later).I've tried this activity and the first time it worked ok, but got close to the end, and then ran a red. Second time I had the same problem as you, and 3rd time it worked like a charm. (I was actually paying attention. ) But point being each time I ran it the AI dispatcher and AI train acted differently.Jim

RE: Attn: Marc or anyone from 3DTRAINS........

I'm having a similar problem on the Funnel Route. Here are/were the proposed solutions:
a) Author tweaked the activity; tried again. Didn't work.
b) Author said to delete the offending train from the activity. Don't want to do that. It's such a nice looking coal train.
c) Current project: I'm trying to remap/reassign the "Bail-off" key command. If I can get it right, Bail Off will mean, "Jump the Hell off the doomed locomotive."
If I can get a screen shot of me running like a scared girl through the weeds, I'll be sure and post it.

The Rocket. See follow-up post.
(I keep twisting my ankle jumping off the train. How do they DO that?)

I noticed that there is a "Man Running" file in the library- -is this the "bail off" fix? There were no screenshots, but I suppose the twisted ankle made that too awkward/embarassing. . . Clayton
