Automata Issues

[WildAcousta 0]

Hi Guys,

I recently just reinstalled SimCity 4 Duluxe edition after a long break from the game, and installed a load of custom content, including the NAM, HSRP, RHW mod, a load of other NAM components, and a load of buildings...

Now, I'm having a problem with automata... Here are the specific issues:

- Elevated rail trains and carriages do not show up (when stations report that they are being used). When I go to U-drive-it the elevated train automata (without carriages) will appear briefly, but will appear on the ground underneath the track. It will do this until the U-drive-it count down stops at which point the elevated train will disapear.

- Regular trains are also not appearing. When I go into U-drive-it the game crashes to desktop.

I have tried the above with both the standard maxis models as well as user created models.

Oh, and a further issue I am having.... When placing anything to do with transit i.e. an avenue, road, monorail, elevated rail station, train station etc etc. I get a long pause (about 15 seconds) before the game responds again....

Any idea what could be going on? I did not have these problems when I last had SimCity installed on my computer. I've also been careful during any NAM installations and read which options/plugins I was installing (I'm quite pedantic and a bit of an obsessive you see), so I don't think it has been anything like that which has contributed to these problems... but who can say?

Lemme know what you think guys and gals,

And I appreciate the help
