Buses not appearing on roads

[markydoodle1 0]

I am having problems with my buses not appearing on the roads. I am using current nam but i had this problem before nam 31.2, I'm using traffic plugin z medium. They appear when i plop bus stops but then their gone in seconds. I have transportation on well funded so that's not the problem.

Check your set up in the game graphics.  Make sure you have automata at at least medium.  Detail too.

Nope it's not that.

When you put your traffic display on the traffic flow and select buses, can you see lines for them?  Please recall that the display is simply eye-candy.

If you mean clicking on the bustop and just have bus then no there is no blue line . also the data view shows there is activity

If you are using the NAM traffic display, you get lines that show bus routes, if any.  Since it depends on volume, it doesn't matter what automata show, this is from the simulation.

 

Seeing bus routes:

I do have that, and i have the lines for the bus routes.

Make sure your GPU settings (operating system stuff) are arranged to the incoming program can select the 3D options.  This is usually done by setting each 3D option to 'application selected' or equivalent wording.

 

Does the game behave the same way if you run in software mode? (-d:software).

I put i on software and Finished loading city then clicking on few advisors it crashes. I did do the os change.

Very strange.  I run in software mode all the time because hardware mode on my machine collapses after about 10 minutes.  I am beginning to wonder of all is well with your installation.  Which version of the game do you have?

1.1.640.0 deluxe

I wouldn't worry about it.  Your bus stations are working.  Automata is not even a good representation of what is actually happening in game.  I see busses driving places the route query shows they do not go, so seeing busses or not is pointless.

Think I mentioned above that the display is mostly eye-candy.  This is particularly true with the moving stock.
