Can anybody tell me why I sometimes get only the selection "place start point" instead of "join route here" when creating a path that starts at the end of some route?Cheers,

Hi Goonybird,I get "join route here" when I'm creating an AI or non player drivable path and "place start point" when creating a player drivable path.Regards,Eric

This may seem a strange one for sure, but I have never seen the "join route here" in all the times in and out of the AE since the very beginning. MSTS is definitely a very 'strange bird'.RobertR .. ADF-M&RM at http://www.adfrr.com

Ahh, that explains it. For some reason, guess I've always stayed away from the extreme ends of any route with AI's activity paths. Had some trouble early on with the AI not working correctly and kind of assumed this was just another one of those no-no's. Thanks, and now I know better.RobertR .. ADF-M&RM at http://www.adfrr.com

Me, I'd swear I can't remember the last time I came across a simple reason to one of the quirks to this game -- thank you, everybody.Cheers,
