Train Delay - System Problem? 15/08/2011 at 00:38 #19417

Have played various sims in the past week, NLL, Cambridge, Stafford, KX and the 'Train Delay Probability' when set to a certain point (whatever that is because there is no index) after a saved game it always reverts back to zero?
Is it just me or have others expienced this? Has this happened since the new System Files came in?

Are you referring to the reloading of a saved game where the settings are not saved, or the relaunch of a new game where the past settings are not remembered. If the latter then that's because the delay/failure settings are coded into each scenario set-up and launching a Sim will override whatever was set before. If the former then that looks like a bug but then these are old Sims so we would need to test against a new Sim.

I believe there was a bug in the save/restore logic in this area that got fixed some time ago. Easiest thing is to check on a current sim.

It does indeed happen (or I suppose strictly speaking, not happen) on older sims. The simplest way to work around it is to first start a new game with the same scenario as the saved game (e.g. "one of those days", etc.) so that the sliders get set correctly, then load the saved game.

Hi all, just a query related to the subject of train delay etc, sliders. I'm currently engrossed in Pboro and when I selected the scenario the sliders were in pre-set positions. I subsequently moved them to slightly different positions (in some cases zeroed them) and set the max failure rate to zero. Does this make any difference to the subsequent train problems/delays or will the sim give me a set number of problems anyway, irrespectiveof what I set them at. A bit late down the line (!) to mention this as I've been hooked on Simsig for months, but I saw this thread and thought I'd ask. Cheers, Mal.

Peter, the former it was.
Peter/Clive - tested on Edinburgh and works fine so your assumptions are correct.
Thanks
