More of a general query this, but I have noticed that every train on the Waterloo 2010 SX timetable has been set for 50% chance of appearing in the 'service options' box in the edit timetable view. This has the effect that only some of the trains appear which seems a little odd as there are rules set up that prevent the 'return' working appearing until x mins after that train has left the sim. Therefore by my reckoning, as the day progresses, less and less trains will enter as, for example, a train later in the day has only a very small chance of appearing as the compounding of the rules on every preceding working allows it to appear only 50% of the time. Therefore, if a later train is (for example) the 6th working for that ervice, then it only will have a 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 chance of appearing, which by my reckonong is a 1 in 64 chance. I decided to test and set every train for the first hour or so to 100% expecting every train to enter the sim, but for some reason they still don't appear. I have checked the rules and there is nothing that will prevent these trains from appearing so I am a bit confused as to what it is that I need to do to get every train to enter the sim. My question is therefore - Can somebody with more knowledge explain how this situation is set up, and what I should do if I want every train to appear, subject to the rules of course. Many thanks in anticipation of the usual helpful responses. Log in to reply |

The %age figure is part of a two-part process. The figure is only applied if the "Runs 'As Required' or as a Special" box is also checked. If that box is not checked the train should appear 100% of the time (subject to any rules, decisions or the like governing the entry) no matter what %age is shown.

In the timetable the box marked 'Runs as required or special' is unticked- therefore, the train will always run, regardless of what's entered in the % box, which defaults to showing 50%. The percentage chance only applies if the box above is ticked. Are you using the version named "SX May 2010 (Updated - Loader) v1.0.1"? If so, could you provide some examples of trains that aren't entering? EDIT: If you're using the version named simply "SX May 2010", this was made on the .exe version of the simulation, and over half of the schedules from Wimbledon are invalid, hence the trains not entering.

From your comments I ma thinking if this TT is not compatible with the loader version of the sim - does that mean I should be using the 'SX May-December 2010 v1.0.1 (v4.2)' instead......?
