Same game as "Double entry" - at 06.41 I have just received a message that "2M02 received an adverse change of aspect at signal DM93". 2M02 is on the down main east of Chippenham - due there 06.45. Why am I being told/blamed?

I had a similar problem on Bristol with a Westbury signal. Must be a "feature".

No it's probably a bug, can you give more details as to exactly what the circumstances were- having said that I have done some work on the intrerface since the last release.

Peter, here is my post regarding the message about a westbury signal going red on the bristol sim.

http://www.SimSig.co.uk/index.php?option=com_agora&task=topic&id=623&p=2&Itemid=54#p4364

The circumstances are that on this timetable, everything that would be going to london or taunton is diverted from bristol via westbury! There's a major traffic jam between bath and westbury almost the entire shift!!

OK thanks,
By full details I need to know
Where was the 'offending' train going from and to (I don't necessarily have the timetable to hand)
what else had happened in the area that may have caused it- e.g. another train entering, or passing if so what, where, why, when.

If you had an adverse change of aspect then it is likely that something is causing the signal to restore in the wrong circumstances and that is what I need to track down.

Peter,

Here is a screen shot of IL02 receiving the change of aspect at DM93 whilst approaching Chippenham for the Melksham line.

I see- have had a look at the current data and I can't see that what you got will be possible in future releases.

The only thing that will restore DM93 is occupancy of the TC leading up to SN70- as I mentioned above I did do some work on that area a while back, I can't recall excatly what it was, and I can't lay my hands on the data that would have been used for the last release (will have somewhere) to see.

Mine was a few minutes after the above screen shot. 2M02 was following 1L02 from Swindon into Chippenham and on to Melksham. The message came just after 1L02 cleared Thingley Junction and/or the slot dropped out (not quite certain which). 2M02 had not reached Chippenham.

Peter, I will try to get that information if I still have a saved game from before the situation.

Given that it seems to be fixed for a future release I'm not sure further examination of the current release on this particular point is necessary.

Thanks
