Rogue Signal Failure in Gartshore Area

Just checking, you said the failure occurred at 21:46:54 but the filename for the latest save is 21:45. We'll need a save from after you were notified of the failure, as failures are random and won't happen again if you run a save from before the event.

In flight engineer at West of Scotland ROC has investigated the data logger, CG32 signal on the Up E&G is failed on the red and green aspect. Cowlairs S&T advised but no ETA for attendance.

I appreciate your various inputs but what I don't understand is the signal in question doesn't show up as highlighted on the Incident Panel for me but it does show that it's failed both Green and Red aspect so why does it show up as highlighted for Headshot119 and Steamer but not me?

I'm confused :(

As Peter said, seems it's only highlighted if it's in a failed state when you open or scroll the list. If it's showing Y or YY it won't be highlighted.

The only failures I've got on is for Train Delays, I did have Signal failures on at the start of the game but turned them off at about 0900.

But should the signal fail at all if signal failures have been turned off?

You need to refresh f11 between changes in the signal state.

How do you refresh F11?

That's a good point because while they were on between 00:00 and 09:00ish, afterwards they were turned off so you raise a interesting question.

Max failures was still set at 1, so that may have caused it. Possibly the slider got stuck 'thinking' it was ever-so-slightly above 0, hence you not getting one since 9am?

I thought the slider only applied to train delays which I wanted on, so yes maybe you are right?

Anyway, the only dumb question is one that has never been asked as I think.

To clarify, it's possible that the signal failure slider is actually ever so slightly above 0 for some reason but is so close to 0 that it's displaying as such. Either way, leave the train delay slider where you want it and knock the number of simultaneous failures down to 0 to be guaranteed no TC/point/lamp faults.

I thought the simultaneous failures down to 0 thing applied to everything from signal failures, TCfs, train delays etc? Is this not the case?
