    Hi All,

    I am creating a new timetable for the West Cornwall route. So far I am finding the timetable creation tools fairly intuitive however I am having an issue with the DataTrack files.

    I can create a DataTrack file using the command prompt. Once created I can see the DataTrack in the route DataTrack folder alongside the other DataTrack files for the route. I can then test the timetable in PIE.

    However, when I close and restart the editor the DataTrack file disappears and I need to create a new one (the saved timetable remains visible). Is this correct behaviour (I assume the file should stay?).

    Also, I haven’t worked out how to cook timetables yet - any ideas?.

    thanks,

    Known bug. The datatrack shouldn't actually be gone, just hidden

    With missing files, which are really still there in their respective folder, I’ve had some success by opening all the files I’m working on into tabs on the editor.
    Then on reopening the editor it sometimes prompts you to reload files which were open in the previous session and the missing files then magically reappear.

    Thanks cActUsjUiCe and jackthom - good to know the file is still there.

    In terms of cooking the timetable once complete I read that the console command for cooking is out of date and DTG need to confirm the correct command?.

    Has anyone found a workaround for when you don't get the prompt?
    I was getting the prompt yesterday, so all good, but today I'm getting nothing. I can see the files in Windows Explorer, just not in the Editor.

    Just read in another Post... Recent Files! worked for me.
