Timetable Editor User's Manual has vanished

Unread postby OldProf » Tue Nov 01, 2016 4:07 pm

A day or so ago, when I wanted to look up something in the Timetable Editor Users' Manual, I discovered that it no longer exists in my TS installation. Perhaps it was spirited away as part of the TS2017 "upgrade" -- which would then be in this sense at least a downgrade. Has any other forum member noticed this manual's absence?

Was it in the manuals or somewhere else?

Tom
Mine is missing too! In my backup files I have "RW View Timetable Manual.pdf" which used to reside in the DRIVE:\STEAM\steamapps\common\RAILWORKS\Manuals\EN folder.
It is no longer there, nor can it be found using a search function!
Gone missing! !*not-ok*!

My wife claims I'm a pack rat. Maybe she's right.

Thanks, Buzz. Let me also note that I did receive a prompt response from Jio Butler at Dovetail Games Support: We have unfortunately removed these manuals for revision, however you can find information about the editor here: http://railworkswiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Reference+Manual. The link he provided leads to the Railsimulator.com WIKI (and there's an historic item!).

The really good news is that DTG/TS is finally revising the Timetable Editor's users' manual, something I've been hoping would happen for years. Does this constitute that, "There's life in the old gal yet"?

Meanwhile, I'll download the current manual from Buzz's link, put it in my Manuals>EN folder, and see how long it takes to be sucked into the ether again.

!!howdy!!
