To avoid unnecessary posting of new threads when the question has already been answered elsewhere, how do I find the relevant simulation in the "search" facility? I have entered a particular simulation in the "search" forum but always it comes up with a negative response!

Perhaps you are entering a sim that has not been approved. What is the name of this particular sim?

I suspect the easiest way would be to go to Forum-> Index, scroll down and select the relevant simulation from the list. This will show all topics in that area of the Forum, and you can see if one matches your question.

Reading the relevant simulation manual
is also useful.

Search should really have the ability to filter by topic - lodged a request.

What you are looking for is the section in the Forum Index with the heading: 'Simulations', 'Released'
'Topic for discussing the Sims. All available Sims can be found at the "Downloads/Uploads" link on the home page. Discussion of timetables is below'

It took me a while for the penny to drop as it says that the discussions are about timetables when in fact they cover a multitude of topics.

Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate.

I have always found that just entering the key word(s) without reference to the sim brings up an impressive array of results (e.g. putting in something like 1E06 if you have a TT issue or K469 if it is a signalling problem).
