Think you've found a bug? Or do you have a problem with the sim have a check here first.



  • Question: CB20 Signal won't clear

  • Answer: Make sure Crewe Junction has granted his slot




  • Question: AF3 Signal won't clear

  • Answer: Make sure Severn Bridge Junction has granted his slot




  • Question: The Machynlleth slot doesn't cancel behind a train

  • Answer: That's correct, you need to cancel it once you are finished with it.




  • Question: Some locations are repeated in the entry and / or location lists

  • Answer: That's correct, this allows better compatibility with timetables imported from CIF format, as there may be more than one TIPLOC covering a location.




  • Question: There are no paths found from one of the "Coleham CE sdgs" entry point

  • Answer: This affects version 1.0.0 of the sim. Fixed in version 1.1.0.This can be easily fixed by selecting one of the alternatives.




  • Question: Wem Crossing won't raise with a train in the platform

  • Answer: This affects version 1.0.0 of the sim. Fixed in version 1.1.0. It has been fixed for an update.




  • Question: Wrenbury Station / Level Crossing is in the wrong place compared to real life.

  • Answer: This affects version 1.0.0 of the sim. Fixed in version 1.1.0. The plans for the area where inconsistent which lead to the level crossing being drawn on the wrong side of the platforms.




  • Question: On loading the sim I get an error message "TAFCS4 bad EXT TAFCS2"

  • Answer:This affects version 1.1.0 of the sim. Fixed in version 1.2.0. An update in the core code has led to better error checking. Although in some cases this error could be serious in this instance it will cause no play ability issues and can be ignored.




  • Question: I cancel certain routes and this causes a block section to cancel even though the route wasn't set towards it.

  • Answer:This affects version 1.1.0 of the sim. Fixed in version 1.2.0. Some erroneous logic in the AB code was causing this. Fixed in version 1.2.0

1178 posts 		Hi,
I don't seem to be getting punished with points lost, or even a message, if I route trains from AF42 to the sidings without requesting a slot.
The manual suggests that I do need to. It doesn't make clear if I need to slot to reach the SBJ inlet.

Thanks
Jamie

EDIT

Manual wording updated.
