TT creation query 17/11/2013 at 13:34 #51649

Hi all,

I am working on a new TT for Exeter which I intend to release early next year.

I have noticed on some sessions that trains have, in the case of London sessions I think, been in platform at the start of the session without any movements having been made during the course of the game. For the new TT I am working on, which is for Exeter, I need to have two trains in Taunton station at the start of the game as from what I can tell they berth there overnight.

Is there any way I can achieve this? If so, how?

Cheers,
Dave

Most current sims have the facility to enter 'seed' trains at any signal.

In TT editor, there is a tick box for a seed train on the first tab. When ticked, you should then see a drop down list of all the signal locations available.

See dokuwiki/doku.php?id=usertrack:ttuse:ttseed for more info.

I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

Thank you Andy. That is exactly what I was after.

The train to be seeded is 2S04 but the problem is that it arrives there before midnight so there is no way it could be written into the TT and it overnights (according to OTT) at Taunton as do a couple of others. I guess OTT will be updated sooner or later for a more accurate picture.

1) Some developers also include some stations/platforms as seed points which appear in the drop-down for the seed point when you are writing the TT.
2) If there is a signal on the platform at Taunton, you can seed at that signal. set the first location as Taunton in the TT with the correct departure time and the train will sit quite happily until due time.
3) If there is no signal on the platform, seed the train at the last signal before the platform in the direction of travel of the train, then again set the first location as Taunton etc. etc. The train will run into the platform then sit and wait for due time.
