Can I be the first to congratulate Lardybiker and indeed anyone connected with the efforts that they put in to a new release. It really is much appreciated and you are to be congratulated.

THANK YOU

This is still in the course of being written and tested, obviously the focus has been on getting the sim and TT ready for the meet. As soon as it is ready it will be uploaded to the downloads section.

Very beautiful sims.Lots of hardwork must have gone into them and I appreciate it a lot.

A big thanks to the Simsig team.

Being a debug feature, I'm not sure it's supposed to be in the released version

Perhaps it means the Simsig Interest has all gone up North.

As Noisynoel has said, this might be a debug feature which has slipped into the release version.
In any case, if you want to simulate track circuit failures, you can use the F11 Incident Control Panel, which is definitively working.
Two million people attempt to use Birmingham's magnificent rail network every year, with just over a million of them managing to get further than Smethwick.

72 posts 		I have a train(6T20) standing at Foreign Ore Branch Jn (S363) since the last half hour with the train list reporting it as "On Telephone".Originally I had set the wrong route for the train but after cancelling the route and setting the right one,this has been the status.Also, I am not receiving any call from the driver.Seems to be a bug as the driver can't take that long at the telephone.

I also a had a train 6F00-2 booked to destination Scunthorpe FD which I assume means Frodingham Depot but it showed that as an incorrect route.If so then what is FD?

Also if the sim is paused then the right click menu of signals is not available and the message window says "simulation is paused".

Tested this and had the same experience but as I had already got it to Up Goods Loop ("UP GDS LP"successfully I routed it to the next 'exit point' further along the line, the seemingly unnamed one beyond the track to Normanby Park, Roxby & Flixborough - no complaints from the driver!

1835 posts 		1) Scunthorpe FD = Freight Depot ie (Up) Goods Yard

2) Driver will be on phone to his control after receiving Adverse Chane of Aspect.

3) When simulation is paused, you can't set routes or make calls either; after all, you don't have a pause button in the real world.

75 posts 		8S00-S1 is supposed to reverse at Humber Road Jn and then go to Immingham Sorting Sdgs. I rang Immingham Reception and got permission for Immingham Reception Sidings, but when I set the route to Reception Sidings the driver complained of a wrong route. When I cancelled the route and set it to the Storage Sidings instead, the driver accepted the route but then I got a penalty for not asking permission. This seems like a bug unless I have misunderstood what this train is supposed to do?

746 posts 		Found 2 things so far:

1. Sig WB34 inevitably threw a signal lamp fault when it cleared for a freight train. I went through the procedure of waiting for it to call me, asking it to examine the line and SPAD, and it did. Once the train passed the signal it reverted to a red aspect. I kept an eye on this until the train was clear of the block and it stayed red after and is in working oirder. Either a big or the engineers just happened to be there and fixed it in some world record time!

2. 6M11 is taking the block in front of WJ125 and 6T18 was waiting at WJ113. I set the route to WJ125, which is red, and WJ113 was set to green! See attachment for picture proof.



All I found so far. Extremely good sim, half tempted to write a TT out but gotta get used to the layout yet. Haven't been to any of the locations on this map yet but am on a charter to Cleethorpes in April which does the Immingham Tramway (I assume this will be the Grimsby Light Railway line) so will be able to see what the places look like!

I kind of regret putting failures on, not realising this is a huge map! But I'm going to take it on with both hands and give it a shot!


Cheers,

James.

Correct me if I am wrong here but I do not believe that is a bug or an issue. I am already aware that the signals around Barnetby station are mechanical and I suspect that signal is also mechanical. Indeed, loading up the simulation seems to confirm this as there is no overlap shown for the signal, which I believe means it is mechanical (like signals on the AB Areas of Central Scotland). Try turning "Show track circuit breaks" on via F3 -> Display to see the track circuit itself.

Hope this helps.

So it was the green lamp which had failed?

746 posts 		The green lamp? I don't know which aspect it was at but it was unlit when it broke in front of a freight train. The said train passed and the red lamp came on.

Has anyone managed to route 6Z00 from Frodingham Depot to S45 reverse yet? I routed it to S346 (as sig S45 is behind it) and driver complained of wrong route anyway. I can't see any other logical route really, can someone guide me to where I am going wrong?


Thanks for the clearup on WJ113, I forgot it's a mechanical box there!


Cheers,

James.

704 posts 		I'm having a couple of routing issues - one the above S45 (which would accept S47), and also 0E01-1 refuses to route to reverse at S38 (and won't accept any alternate routes).
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

707 posts 		Underwood, the aspects on a signal can fail separately. In your case, it sounds like one of the proceed aspects had failed (probably green), and the red was still working.
