As you said though, the Era represents the new lengths. That could probably do with being added....The platform lengths on CScot match those given in the current sectional appendix. The lower speed limit for the Branch line at Greenhill (40 on sim vice 70 in real life) isn't brilliant but can be lived with. Everything else you've listed is more cosmetic- while not fully accurate, it shouldn't functionally affect the running of a modern TT, unless there's a real show-stopper that I've missed? • Platform 1 – max 4 coaches (98 metres) • Platform 2 – max 7 coaches (171 metres) • Platform 3 – max 8 coaches (196 metres) • Platform 4 – max 8 coaches (196 metres) • Platform 5 – max 7 coaches (171 metres) • Platform 6 – max 6 coaches (147 metres) • Platform 7 – max 8 coaches (196 metres) Yeah, I should probably have split the post into two areas. I should've said it won't be exactly perfect, and Edinburgh was a non starter for anything modern. How to report an issue: www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=usertrack:reportanissue Log in to reply |

Found an odd one, possibly stopping-position related. I routed 1E07 from E482 (line W) through P11 to its booked P10. However rather than stopping in P10, it called to complain it was waiting at E432. I cleared E432 (thinking perhaps it had stopped in 11 and been dispatched from the mid-platform) to E426 on the North line only for it to draw forward and then start its station duties, blocking the south end of the station.

I have just downloaded the Loader version of Edinburgh and started it off to have a look. I immediately got the same error as I have been getting on Manchester Piccadilly. The error occurred after 1B16 had been seeded (which is the first train to be seeded) and reads: 1B16 Internal error(1B16 in Enter: EInvalidOp:Invalid Floating Point Operation After Pressing OK another error message box appears: External Exception C000001D No more trains are seeded. The error does not occur when ARS is disabled during load, just like Manchester Piccadilly, and has only occurred on my PC and 1 other for Manchester Piccadilly. My Laptop in running Windows 10. I believe Geoff has a fix for the Manchester Piccadilly error. Sorry to break another Sim! Calvin Last edited: 30/07/2020 at 16:26 by bnsf734 Reason: None given Log in to reply |

I've noticed what appears to be an incorrect train description: When 0S25 left Craigentinny shortly after 03:20 bound for Waverley it was a Class 67 x 2 (40m long). When it arrived at SLxW it divided with the rear portion forming 0Yll , obviously a Class 67 (20m long) which would mean that 0S25 would also be a Class 67 (20m long). 0S25 then proceeded to Mound Tunnel (Rev) prior to reversing and joining 1S25 in platform 11. However, I then noticed, as can be seen from the second screenshot (and in the Train List), that this train is described as a Class 67 x 2 (40m long) which it can't be. Doesn't really matter, but thought that I'd mention it. Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate.

The only way to update a description is to have a new working for the portion of 0S25 that has remained, which would give you the option to update the description. This is the same with the characteristics, you'll notice that the Length after the divide remains at 40m in the TT window where as it will be 20m in length. In this case its a throw up between having a slightly incorrect description for 7 sim minutes, or splitting the schedule and not being able to know where the second portion of 0S25 is going until after the divide has happened Log in to reply |

I'm glad I read about the 5A41 issue here before I encountered it in the sim, otherwise I would've been really confused. I was wondering, could the issue be resolved by splitting the schedule at the first Edinburgh stop? Log in to reply |

However, the bug only recurred a month ago during the development of the loader towards v5. The TT has not been amended in the hope that the change in the code that has revived the problem can be modified to revert things to the previously successful operation. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply |

Hi, I just had a phone call from a 'shunter' which asked me if i wanted to let 6S01 run 15 minutes earlier than booked from the Berwick-on-Tweed direction. Shouldn't I have the got the call from the signaller at Berwick-on-Tweed signal box, not a 'shunter'? Looks like possibly a glitch in the code somewhere. Thanks for attention in this matter. Alan.

The Sleeper join at Waverley has come back to haunt me. I had problems with the join of a sleeper in the .exe version for which the solution was given (think that it was resetting the various train’s current locations). However, I can’t get it to work, so could it be something else? As no other users have reported anything, it’s probably somewhat of my own making. According to the Train List, after detaching loco 0S25 from 1S25 at the east end of platform 10, 1S25 has become 2 units. Then when I route 0A25 into platform 11 expecting it to join 1S25, it won’t. Sorry to be a pain, but I’ve tried all sorts of things; shunting forwards, reversing, various edits of the timetable, but all to no avail. There’s probably something that I have overlooked, so if some kind person would like to run the attached save through, perhaps they can see something that I can’t. Thanks in advance.

Can't make sense of your post. Are you working things in the following sequence: 1) Highland Sleeper arrives and will ultimately form three sections (Inverness 1S25, Aberdeen 1A25 and Fort William 1Y11) 2) 0S25 Diesel loco from Millerhill joins at the West end. 3) Train detaches Inverness portion at West end for 04:15 departure. 4) Incoming Electric Loco detaches from East end and goes off to Craigentinny. If you are working to TT and not running early you then have the Inverness train at the West end of P10/11 and an unpowered consist behind it. 5) Departure of 1S25 followed by 0A25 running through to Mound Tunnel and reversing onto unpowered consist to attach. 6) After attachment of 0A25, 1A25 powered Aberdeen portion splits at West end leaving unpowered Fort William portion in P10. 7) 1A25 departs in due course. 8) 5Y11 runs out from Motorail Bay and attaches Fort William day coaches to East end of sleeper (P10). 9) 0Y11 Light diesel for Fort William portion detaches from East end after attaching Day Coaches, runs round and attaches at West End of consist in P10. 10) 1Y11 Fort William portion departs in due course. Running to that schedule everything in your save works as expected. Just as a thought, you're not trying to put 0A25 into P11 before 1S25 (Inverness portion) has departed, are you? “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Last edited: 31/07/2020 at 16:46 by postal Reason: None given Log in to reply |

I feel a bit silly because your last thought is exactly what I had done. I'll go back over things and study all of the timetables more closely as I obviously misunderstood that there were separate departure :/ Thank you for your patience.

Got to admit it does take a bit of head scratching to work it all out, particularly when locos appear early.

The other cautionary note is that ACI is never going to keep up with this amount of splitting and joining, and may well result in misleading TD's showing. Bill Log in to reply The following user said thank you: postal |
