Settings

Options on the TrainPlayer Preferences Settings tab:

• Layout directory: shows the location of the files to be displayed in the Open Layouts dialog.  By default this is the Layouts folder in your user Library under Application Support.  If you have layout (.rrw) files stored in a different directory, enter the directory path here or click the Change button to navigate to it.  You can also change this directory name in the Open Layouts dialog
   
• Show car-top images: check this box to display patterns on the tops of cars on the layouts.  Uncheck to display car tops as solid colors.  When car top patterns are displayed, then changing colors in the Car Properties dialog has no effect.   
   
• Switch window shows next switch automatically: this box affects the behavior of the Switch Window.  When checked, then every time the train crosses a switch, the window will automatically update to show the next upcoming switch.  When unchecked, the window changes only when you position the cursor over a switch on the layout.
   
• Layout sounds: check this box to hear sounds when throwing switches, coupling, uncoupling, or crashing.
   
• Locomotive sounds: check this box to hear speed-dependent steam running sounds when the selected train is moving.  This choice is also available from the layout context menu and the horn menu on the control panel.  At present there is no speed-dependent sound available for diesels.
