mackeral1234: Kings Cross - 2012 starts 2030GMT connection now
arabianights: wozza plan tonite den
simon.vale : Thank you Pan :)
panpantom: well done Simon (SV17) first time on KX mp
signaller1: full with a q!
panpantom: KC: Palace seeks a signaller
simon.vale : I'm SV17
simon.vale : Yeh - but I'm a newbie - I'll need something easy to do
panpantom: Simon are you up for KX?
simon.vale : I'm joining
panpantom: any more joining KX?
arabianights: *hurray
arabianights: huray
panpantom: KX hosting details on forum
panpantom: I'll host a KX
simon.vale : I'm going to guess he isn't going to turn up
simon.vale : maybe not..
simon.vale : Haha - its not 10pm yet - patience ;)
arabianights: that said it this does kinda require the 10pm host guy to turn up...
arabianights: :)
simon.vale : And there weren't any spare platforms in Liverpool Street either
simon.vale : I made a huge mistake with the Liverpool Street Sim - I had the Bishopsgate Tunnel closed, and there was just a huge queue of 5 trains trying to get to Bethnal Green
simon.vale : Yeh that would be good - I'm not sure I trust myself with anything more
arabianights: cause it's not really possible to make a HUGE mistake with that
arabianights: or if you're completely new it might be worth asking to do the hertford loop
simon.vale : ok
arabianights: what normally happens is everyone is assigned a panel on a first come first served basis
arabianights: you will have to speak to the host about it but they will probably not want to link with a complete newbie cause there are lots of extra issues if you are a host (which you would have to be if you wanted to link)
simon.vale : as you can link sims together can't you?
simon.vale : I also have the Royston one - so I could just be left to that one as its simple enough ;)
simon.vale : Just installed it
simon.vale : Ok :)
arabianights: download simsig kings cross (and simsig main files) then wait for thread in the forum with details for the multiplayer
simon.vale : I'm a relative newb but I don't mind trying out a signalling session. What do I need to do?
Morsey: More KX?! Im up for it :P
arabianights: moi aussi

Hi all,
After a few hours into the Royston sim, I can't ignore the RAI, WKG and FAI indicators in the top right any longer. What do they signify?

Thanks in advance for clearing this up for me.

RAI = Raised, the level crossing barriers are in the raised position so the level crossing is open to road users to cross.

WKG = Working;
- When flashing the barriers are either lowering for the imminent passing of an approaching train or they're raising after the passage of a train over the crossing.
- When steady, the barriers are fully lowered and it is considered safe for any approaching train(s) to cross pass over the crossing.
- The level crossing 'road traffic lights' are flashing and the barriers are lowering, are fully lowered and it is considered safe for any approaching train(s) to pass over the crossing or they're raising after the passage of a train over the crossing.

FAI = Failed, the barriers, lights, or some part of the crossing has failed. In my experience, this indicator only tends to flash red when the barriers appear to be stuck down. This can be caused by a number of factors, for example a slow freight train, a Track Circuit Failure.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much. I've not noticed WKG flashing in Royston. I will look out for that this evening. Makes perfect sense now I know it's a level crossing :)

The WKG light does not flash.

I was sure of this because, after all, I wrote the code. But I've just checked as well and it definitely doesn't flash.

Oops! There was me thinking in that at least one simulation it flashes when working (lowering or raising), must be thinking of another crossing.

I've noticed it flashes in the Worksop Sim as the barriers are lowering/raising. This is the first Sim where I've noticed it.
NYMR Signalman at Grosmont Crossing, Goathland, Levisham & New Bridge - gotta love a level crossing!

Different sort of crossing I suspect (without powering up the sim). The CCTV type crossings buttons do flash.
