Great News - you really can freeroam! You're a freeroamer right? You build your own freeroams? You run layout style? You're one of the select group that really knows the scope of TS? But heck isn't it so frustrating - how on earth could it be that you can't move to locos beyond that 2km line of sight? Well all along it's been possible - courtesy of 'BeenTrain' for this info, but you can cycle to any loco on your set up, in scenario - anywhere. This is how you do it. 1) Go to your TS game icon in Steam 2) right click 3) Select properties and start up options 4) type -followaitrain 5) and save. Now start up TS and your freeroam scenario as normal. To get to the loco you want from the one you're in go to the external view (key 2) and press the page up or page down to cycle between locos. As soon as you get into a loco near the one you want to be in you can get to it by line of sight in the normal way. By going to the external view then page up or page down you can now get to any loco as you wish whilst in scenario. Easy as that.
Just open up the scenario editor and make your own.Making a freeroam is the easiest thing in the world.Plenty of totorials,on the net.
A Freeroam scenario is just trains on the track with a Driver Icon on those you wish to drive. Click on it and go where you want - no -followaitrain or anything required Peter
If you have followed any of the multitude of threads over the years from Broomwagen, the problem isn’t free roam, but being able to move to a consist in free roam that isn’t in sight of the player, which isn’t possible without the -followtrain switch on start-up. Trust me, many of us of from the community at large are ecstatic that Broomwagen has found this particular fix to the problem.
