Jun-04-01, 07:25 PM (EST) "Can't see animated trains in Activity Editor" From the Activity Editor help file:"After creating a traffic pattern, check for conflicts between the computer-controlled trains and the player-drivable train by watching an animated representation of the Activity on the 2-D map."
What's driving me crazy is that last Friday and Saturday when I first started fooling around with the Activity Editor I could see the little animated trains when I clicked PLAY. Now they don't show up, and I've tried every combination of the view atributes to see if that effected them, but they are still gone. And yes, I am selecting "Verify Starting State" before pressing play. I have checked a number of different routes and activities, but they no longer show up.Can anyone help?

>As I said, I did that and it still doesn't work. What's driving me crazy is that it was working, and now it's not, and I can't figure out what setting is changed. I have opened several of the orginal activities that came with MSTS just to be sure it wasn't just in the fan created activities. And I looked at several routes as well.Could someone post their settings under the View menu in the Activity Editor where they have been seeing the animation? I have terminated and restarted several times and even rebooted twice, but so far, no luck.

MSTS editors are part of the launcher program. I'm not having the problem you are having, and the only thing I have selected under view are: selected timetable path, and signals.Ted Curphey
