Hi all
Downloaded the V4 Westbury and started the timetable that comes with it and there seems to be a problem with the ground frames......i cannot get a fixed white indicator on the "F" indication it just keeps flashing,so i am unable to release anything from any of the gf controlled sidings.Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?
I am running windows 8.1 and am wondering if this has anything to do with it.I also use westbury on an XP laptop when i have spare time at work and the same thing happens.
Any help much appreciated
Phil Bolton

Which ground frame in particular are you having a problem with?
"Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer

A lot of the groundframes, especially where they are protected by automatic signals, have a release timeout - nominally 120 seconds.

A possibly related bug?

Working through the default t/t and all well until this morning when after updating via Loader as suggested a problem has appeared - nothing can pass Savernake; signals all green but trains stop and report "points set against train" - this GF has not been touched since starting t/table and does not respond to any attempts to operate it to move points.

saved game attached - will run through ok until 7A17 passes signal SUW71 - stops & phones in. As will next train on down line............

Had the same problem with Savernake.
After mucking around trying different combinations I gave up for the night.
Will look forward to an update, so I can continue with this interesting sim B)
