Hello

I am a ATC and flightsim simmer. Thought I wouldd give this SimSig a look.
I am struggling with the tutorial on Royston.

I can get the first train to signal 975 and then on a new route to 977. But no matter what I try I can't get the train over to platform 1. I try to make a route between 977 and platform 1 but every time I click on a signal the flashing cursor just moves.

Hope you can help. I need to master the basics before I move onto more complicated maps.

Cheers

Looks like your trying to route from 977 to 984 when in fact you should be going to 983. K984 is the UP inner in other words the wrong way you want to go.

Hi, welcome to SimSig.

Sorry if you find this insult, but are you sure you're clicking on the right signal? (983). Just a thought, as you could be clicking 980 (left end of platform) or 984 (far right end of platform)
