Howdy, Folks! I have just done a major system upgrade in preparation for TS 2 , etc. This required a remove/reinstall of Train Sim. I have done this. Everything loads OK....but I CAN'T get the trains to move in "Explore Route". What is up with this? Jim"Rebuilding the Hudson Bayline like one eats a Polar Bear: one BYTE at a time."

Hello! Yikes! I thought maybe you'd have this oversight going.
I'll be glad to see how this problem gets fixed. If MSTS was running fine before, and stock is now no longer rolling and "simple controls" is unexed ... I don't know! The cigar one gets for helping others yet remains out of my reach.

Need more info on this. "I CAN'T get the trains to move", is the keyboard not responding? Can you move the controls in the cabview with the mouse? Are you able to move the reverser and open the throttle, and the F5 HUD shows all brakes released but the train don't move? Or are the brakes not releasing? You can't get the reverser out of neutral either with the mouse or the keyboard? The sim crashes/freezes/send-don't sends on you when you try to move a train? Happens on default routes with any default consist?
