Any reason why ECS from the down siding need two authorities from the signaller to proceed, a ground signal and a verbal authority from the signaller? As an ex-signaller never come across this before as the ground signal should be enough authority same as the up siding ground signal.

I've seen this occur recently as well but on Marylebone at Aylesbury Sidings. I do know that you shouldn't be getting the call from the train at Epsom Downs - I've never experienced it before so I suspect it's a bug that's recently been introduced through an update (which I suspect is the program, not the Sim.

Yes, well given we were talking about the Wimbledon Sim, not Victoria Central it wouldn't have been difficult to deduce that I actually was talking about Epsom Down Siding, not Epsom Downs (which I am sure you are aware has no sidings). I apologise for not being clearer as I was about to walk out the door at the time, but at least you could acknowledge that I had logged the bug for investigation.....

The fix will be applied in the next version of the loader.

headshot119 in post 95360 said:kaiwhara in post 95324 said:To clarify, I found an issue in another sim where a train was calling for authority even though there was a signal ahead of it with no points between. Investigating the relevant core code showed that this would happen if (a) the train was not occupying the track circuit that the signal is on and (b) the signal is a shunt signal with no main red aspect. That's what I've fixed.I've logged on Mantis for investigation. # 17396 I'm assuming that that's the situation with both the cases mentioned in this thread. If not, I need more details. There was a core code change a month or two ago that did touch this code, though I'm not completely clear why it had this effect. I also found two other places in the core code that might have been affected, though I've seen no reports (one to do with defensive driving approaching a shunt signal at danger, the other to do with coming up to a shunt signal when examining the line).

Thanks Clive Without a thorough test, I noted that both Epsom Down Sidings and Aylesbury Sidings have similar conditions (2 TC's Shunt at the end of one of them to it's quite likely. When the next Core Code update comes through, I will test both and advise through Mantis is you like. Sorry guys, I am in the business of making people wait! Log in to reply |

Saying this, it appears Clive has fixed the bit of code that deals with it. When the next update comes out Mark, can you have another try and if its an issue let me/one of know and will get it logged properly.Hi MarkThis is the post I made in relation to it.
