Railworks America

I have an .RAR file of the route I was expanding on (The Barstow-San Bernadino Route) which had fine looking switches, and switch stands, all saved to one side on my desktop before RW3 came along.

After finally successfully having RW3 installed, I naturally installed my .RAR file of the route. And when I opened it, almost all of my switches were defective, with the dreaded "red line rectangle" on every occasion, the switches having no frogs or moving points. Some of them, including those good switches that remained, have no switch stands! Now remember, these switches were fine in RW2.

Also, I did have to realign some of my rail heights, that were somehow changed when ported over to RW3. What do I do now?

Interestingly, the original switches in the original Route that came with Railworks are fine; it is only the switches I installed in my route expansion that were affected.

What the heck is going on????????????????

It might be a problem with the TrackRule used for your edits. Did you use the default SanBars TrackRule or one of your own making? If the latter, is the TrackRule in the proper directory?

I used the SanBars tracks, not knowing much about track rules.

What is mysterious to me is, why did the route have good switches in RW2 and are defective in RW3! Using tte same assets I used in RW2, why does it change when running in RW3?

Interestingly, when I sent the same .RAR to Otto, he reported that all of my switches were fine in his installation of RW3.

Oh, and how do I find out if this rule is in the proper directory?

As in RW2, the instruction manual is extremely deficient...

This is so confusing...
