Minutes recovered - bug happening again 03/09/2017 at 18:34 #101503

This problem was originally brought up a few years ago and I thought it had been resolved before loader sims came out but obviously it has found it's way into the core code again. Originally mentioned on this post F5 Score Possible Bug 21/11/2012 at 12:49 post number #37892 I have now found something similar with the new West Anglia sim. See attachment below.
It would appear after playing West Anglia for only 19 minutes I have already recovered 1440 minutes. Surely this cannot be correct.
Was this problem ever sorted? or am I doing something wrong?

This has now happened with both new simulations that I have just purchased last night i.e. both West Anglia and Plymouth. I am a little bit dismayed that this is the first time that I have used both sinulations after purchasing them and both seem to be affected by the same problem which was first reported some considerable time ago and I assumed had been fixed.
This time with Plymouth using the Plymouth 15-10-09 (0445)timetable and after only 4 minutes simulation time I have already recovered 282 minutes. Once again I am attaching the relevant screenshot for help in diagnosing the problem.

I've merged the two threads together, I'll do some digging to see if I can find the original thread and go from there.

The original thread is https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Forum/ThreadView/34273?postId=37892

Doesn't look like a Mantis ticket was ever opened. #17813 applies.

Ran several tests it appears to relate to the arrival of 5G71 at Plymouth.

I held 5G71 for 10 minutes then ran it into Plymouth, it initially reported as passing 1 timing point on time, which is wrong.

It then arrived at Plymouth at 04.52 (about 8 minutes late) but again ticks off an on-time passing and reports 275 minutes recovered (7 different from you). That's 4h35 minutes, or if it runs to time 4h42 which happens to be the departure time from P131.

I then let 5A09 run in on-time and it says 567 minutes recovered, which is another 4h45, the only thing I can see that relates to that is the Sim Start time.

So to test the theory I set 5G71 as due to start off from P131 at 03.42 and sure enough it reported 222 minutes recovered (3h42m).

I'd say that the core code is scoring the times of seeded trains incorrectly referring to the first departure time, or Sim start time depending on which is earlier.
