Flashing Red/Yellow for diverging route 20/03/2021 at 23:45 #138007

Sim v1.11

At Radlett Jn on attached save - 1C62 has the route set over on the UF.

As soon as 1C62 passes the junction I then set the route for 2W61 from 254 US to UF behind 1C62 (while TC T434 is occupied)

As 1C62 passes signal 52, signal 254 starts flashing red/yellow.

Peter, had you loaded this from a previous save before you noticed it happening? I've raised a ticket on Mantis for this same thing on another sim, so just want to see if the lead up to experiencing this is the same.
Thanks

We watched the signal behave that way in real time and fortunately I was able to recreate it using the backup save.

The critical point Hap is trying to elicit is whether the run where the fault has been noted was in a game started from scratch or in a game which was started from a save created with an earlier version of loader or sim.

This was session 4? in the chain so wouln't have been a "from scratch" save.
AJ (Ajax103) hosted the first 3 and he may have the saves?
but in short this was from a previous session and maybe version too

Yes it was a save game - sadly I can't get the version number from the original save but I did update WH recently, and so it's highly likely the save was made from an older version.

It's possible for that to happen in a sim. I had the same problem with Peterborough when a train approached the Up turnout at Stoke Junction under certain circumstances. It turned out to be because of an interaction between the unusual aspect controls and the lamp failure logic. I'm fairly sure that it's prototypical!

(See Mantis 32818 if you're interested.)

If it helps, I have the original three saves and the version details are:

Loader 5.13
Sim 1.11

Are you definitely sure the save from 13 March was 1.11? My loader claimed to update to 1.11 on 19 March (I would have done it on 13th if it were available)

I'm sure of it as I've not had the updates button lit up in red which is a sure sign that a update is needed that I'm aware of.

Without inventing a time machine I can't go back and verify this.
