Hi. Could somebody please tell me where my Carlisle 'Snapshot' saves are being stored. Yesterday I ran the sim for approximately an hour and today expected to find the saves in the list when loading a previously saved game. I’ve run the sim from a manual save that I made and there have been two ‘Snapshot’ saves since, neither of which I can find. I thought that they would be stored in ‘Users\Public\Public Documents\SimSig\Timetables\Carlisle’ where a couple of my manual saves can be found. I have also looked in the ‘Users\myname\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\SimSig\Carlisle’ folder and ‘OS (C  \Program File (x86)\Carlisle’ and there’s nothing in those either.Now at a loose end. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bugsy Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate. Log in to reply |

As Carlise is a standalone sim it should save to either driveUsers\myname\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\SimSig\Carlisle or on 64bit systems drive\program files (x86)\SimSig\carlise on 32 bit systems drive\program files\SimSig\carlise however I have found that standalone sims sometimes save to the SimSig folder in public documents drive\Users\Public\Documents\SimSig Last edited: 09/11/2017 at 18:14 by MarkC Reason: edit Log in to reply |

mark265 in post 102741 said:As Carlise is a standalone sim it should save to eitherI have just looked in the folder that you suggested (as above) and 'hey presto' that's where I have found them. I automatically looked in the two subfolders 'Simulations' and 'Timetables, but not in the 'Simsig' folder itself. What an odd place for them to go. I suppose that I'll have to copy them to the folder where my manual are saved in order to be able to select one on start-up. Oh well.

Carlisle is a .exe sim, so it doesn't follow that structure.As Carlise is a standalone sim it should save to eitherI have just looked in the folder that you suggested (as above) and 'hey presto' that's where I have found them. If you go into 'Options' in the simulation, there's a tick box for 'Use Public Documents folder'. Untick it, and they should be saved to either the VirtualStore location or the Program Files\SimSig\Carlisle folder, depending on whether you've given yourself permission to write files to the latter location.

I didn't know that that tick box existed If a user uses windows XP the save will most likely be in program files. But on Vista and up it will tend to use the virtualstore, this should work invisably to the user, in that programs that use it, the program should display saves and timetables from both locations at the same time appearing as a single location to the user though the program being used.
