23/5/98 I've noticed that the switch controls (the ones you see on the main windows as you drive the train) do not function correctly. Is this a bug or are you working on it?
You're right. These controls are now 'out of order', and I am working on it. In the future I'll make a distinction between street traffic (trams) that is able to switch manually, and train traffic that is not. At the moment the sim works according to the latter; in the editor you can set a (fixed) route for each line.
If I want to change the speed of the train it doesn't change it always stay's on 140 km/h.So if you can solve this problem please tell me. Thanks a lot.
You're right, if you change the max speed in the editor, nothing changes. This is because it's simply not implemented. You can also not change the length of one car, and if you assign a name to a platform (station), that name is not stored. These things will improve in the future.
I often get an error (Access Violation at...) after I've created a layout with the Editor, and tried to open it with the Simulator. Then even the Editor crashes when I try to reopen the file. What should I do? Can I find the error in the textfile, and solve it?
Well, it's kind of dangerous to edit the text file because you can easily mess up dependencies. When I use the Editor, I often make the mistake of releasing the mouse button after I've just created a point. The Editor then creates a new line of track which it connects to the same point. So you actually have a line of length 0 then, connecting to points. This leads to problems when you connect new lines to those points. This will be solved.
