RTS Software selecting Track

Yes I have this problem. Atlas has to know about it so I which they could fix it.

"The Right Way"

I have the same problem and I have discontinued using it. I went to the old fashioned way of doing things. Lay it out on the layout, if I like it assemble it. I understand it is free but I had my layout almost done and it started doing that so I lost all my work. I'm not sure it rendered accurate as I printed out part of the plan and built it. The results were not quite the same as the plan and I had to do some changes to make it fit where I wanted.

It astounds me how this even got through minimal testing scripts. I guess that we are the first line of testers. I am very cynical tonight.

This software bug is extremly annoying! It's only version 10 apparently, as my version 8 and 7 work correctly--- except for the help file for V7 doesn't exist in Windows 7 64 bit.

I just checked the Atlas site and they do NOT offer support for the software. You have to goto the makers' website: www.winrail.com and tell them--- via Email I guess---


Edit: I just found my original copies of RTS 3 and RTS 4 while looking for something else! Being so old, the program is on a 3 1/2" floppy! I can't remember if V4 has the O track components--- I know V3 is HO & N only.

Bill,

I went to their website and there appears to be a new version available (ver 11). Was it posted when you went there? Hopefully the version 11 will be made available by Atlas soon and it fixes this annoying problem.

Yes, i saw that Version 11 of WinRail is out. that doesn't mean that there will be a ver. 11 of the Right Track software soon. If you want the version 8, i have it as a zip file-- 9.8 megs. As I said, V8 works flawlessly.

FWIW - I'm not having this problem with Vista 32 bit....which would possibly indicate a code problem running on Win7???

RTS 10 should be avoided as it is buggy. However, RTS 8 has been re-introduced and can be downloaded. I run Vista 64 and the problem is not with Vista compatability. I started thread about one of RTS 10's bugs, so Atlas is aware of it. If you go to the Atlas forum, look for my screenname for the thread.

All,

There must be something else going on. I wanted to look at a previous track plan of the same Plan that I had not put some text descriptions on. I could now select a single track object to move it by disconnecting the joints on either side and selecting the track. I was finally able to clean an archived version of my plan up to the current version of the plan I could not work with version 10 of the software. I have continued on working adding additional detailing without incident. Go figure!

Sorry. I was wrong. It is still happening.
