" said:" said:The driver isn't in the cab, how can he notice the signal?If I reverse then reverse back does that reset the clock or add to it?If the train is already reversing, it is impossible to reverse it again. However, pressing 'shunt forward' will abort the reverse immediately. Replacing a signal in front of the train ('front' being the original direction of travel) while the train is in the 'manually reversing' state will cause it to ring in to report the ACOA.

" said:The simpler solution would be to have the manual reversing time match the train's normal reversing time - either the default Simsig determined time, or the custom time input by the TT writer.The "simple" solution is 1 minute. The "more complex" solution is to look up the train's scheduled reversing time and then have a fallback if it's not specified. " said: If I reverse then reverse back does that reset the clock or add to it?Once the timeout has expired you can reverse it again. Each reversal starts the clock again. " said: The driver isn't in the cab, how can he notice the signal?The driver doesn't instantly vanish from the cab the moment you choose to manually reverse the train. SimSig Boss Log in to reply |
