Excellent sim by the way. I don't think these have been reported yet. 1) If you clear the non-stop release on Kingsknowe and Kirknewton level crossings, this does not survive a save and exit when you reopen the sim on another occasion. 2) Imagine a train fails, but it will be running again at a time hh:mm. If it so happens that you save and exit at that exact time and reopen later, the sim forgets that the train is going to restart, and in fact it remains failed for ever. (I do a lot of short-ish sessions; this has happened twice in the last 12 hours of simulated time.) 3) In normal operation, when you call a route, sometimes another train is occupying the overlap. If possible intervening points will be swung to provide the overlap. This fails to happen if you try to clear E427 to E455 (platform 10) when platform 11 is occupied and the scissors points are lying normal. If you manually reverse the scissors points (platform 10 to South Loop West) E427 will then clear, with the overlap leading into S-L-West. 4) Signals E471 and E465 are sometimes cleared prematurely when a train is in the berth, about 20 minutes before the proper departure time. I haven't been able to correlate this with any explanatory factor. Log in to reply |

The signal aspect in the save is 6 which is Green so the save is OK. There must be something in the loading that's tripping up. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Might be related to Mantis 0034121, and aspects initially defaulting to red on loading. Clicking on the button again resolves for the time being. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Is this is addressed to me? I attach a saved game. 2G29 is stalled at Dunfermline Town and will never restart.

This is a reply mainly to Hap. Yes, I realise there is a delayed release for entry to an occupied berth. This thread is getting rather confused. I think this part refers to the intermittent refusal of the sim to clear a down train into platform 10 when platform 11 is occupied and the scissors points are normal. If the scissors points are manually swung to reverse then the entry signal will clear (to a full aspect). In other words the sim doesn't swing the points to get a legitimate overlap. The other situation I mentioned was the refusal of the sim to admit a second train to platform 17 when the ARS at Edinburgh is disabled. Disabling the ARS locally was a measure I was taking to avoid the premature clearance of the route for departures, which very frequently blocks punctual arrivals, and is a bl**dy nuisance. (I've been told it is not possible for me to edit the ARS logic.) When Edinburgh ARS is disabled, a second train will not be admitted to platform 17 for a join. NB I know about delayed release in this situation. If you then enable ARS the position light will clear, but if you immediately disable it again (to prevent other trains getting premature departure clearance) the position light will revert and you get adverse aspect in front of an aproaching train. (I realise there is an obvious workaround; I mention it to emphasise that this seems to be an inherent behaviour of the sim, not some combination of weird and infrequent circumstances.) Hap mentions that in another save I had made most of the trains at Edinburgh individually non-ARS. This was an alternative I was attempting to avoid the premature rlease problem. Hap also asked Quote: When this route pulled off exceptionally early, were there any approaching trains non-ARS?. My answer is several routes do it, but no. Log in to reply |

Disabling the ARS locally was a measure I was taking to avoid the premature clearance of the route for departures, which very frequently blocks punctual arrivals, and is a bl**dy nuisance.As an alternative you could put a reminder on the P17 starter which would stop the ARS setting that particular departure route prematurely. If you are distracted elsewhere and forget to manually set the route over the reminder you soon get a phone call to let you know that the driver is fretting about the delayed departure. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply |
