Hello all, I have an unusual question today, is there a way to change a specific color in Simsig? in the case will be the "White (over track circuits)" for green. Any Help? Thanks Thiago. Log in to reply |

You can't change any of the colours, to a limited extent Developers can during production. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply The following user said thank you: CTCThiago |

Not so long ago I requested that Track Circuit failure segments be given a different colour from actual trains, and received the same reply.

The way to identify them differently is firstly to make sure you haven't misplaced a train, and then caution the next train through the section to make sure there really is no train in the section. Once you've done that you can insert the letters TCF into the train describer berth and then you know you have a track circuit failure. The real world doesn't have a handy little message pop up saying TCF at xxxx junction so in a way SimSig is already giving you more than you'd get in reality. CTC's message is different because I assume he's thinking about the possibilities of simulating a different countries system. FF Log in to reply The following user said thank you: CTCThiago |

There are three separate issues here. (1) Can a simulation developer change the colours used? Yes, there are some 83 different colour references used in the core code, and each can be set (but only on a global basis, not differently for different layouts or anything like that). (2) Can an end-user change the colours used? No. There's been no requests that I'm aware of for anything like this, and I'm not sure we'd want to do it anyway, though that's Geoff's call. (3) Can SimSig distinguish between "track circuit occupied" and "track circuit failed"? The core code makes such a distinction, and simulation data can test this. This is occasionally used - for example, for simulating level crossing user behaviour or "train arrived" cameras - where a real signaller could tell the difference. But the display in a real signal box does not (and cannot) distinguish between them, and therefore neither does SimSig for most purposes.

To distinguish between a failure and a train would be going along the lines of gameplay rather than simulation.
