I created an activity using the stock Marias route (1.2), P32B-8 locos, and the stock Orient Express passenger cars. The path was the standard Shelby - Whitefish, the traffic pattern was Long Haul East. Start speed was zero.
I went step-by-step, checking and rechecking things. When I start the activity, it loads up fine, the notebook opens and everything is there, but when I close it, I have no control over the train. I cannot change views, and the train's speed is increasing but it is not moving visually. After 30 seconds or so, the activity ends with a derailment!! Yet the train appears to have not moved a bit.
Any help would be appreciated,Thanks,Paul
