What would the realistic settings be for Aston? When setting up a new sim, there is an option for TORR but it's disabled by default. Does this mean they don't have it in the real-world? Following on from that, I've found that if I have TORR selected, that also gives me the ARS roundel (and it's selected) in the sim - again, would that be realistic for Aston?

Thanks,

I've started a new sim with difficulty set to standard and TORR left off. I've turned ARS off. However, I'm getting trains arriving from Aston (e.g. 5N09) that claim to be ARS (blue TD's, "is train ARS?"=yes ) and routes are being automatically set (not cleared though).

Am I misunderstanding something here? I thought if ARS was off(not available), routes wouldn't be set automatically?

Thanks,

Aston sim doesn't have ARS at all. train descriptions will always be blue in non ARS Sims.

As for routes setting themselves do you mean automatic signals or that a white route light is present?

Tested and confirmed, there's no way to disable ARS if TORR is disabled. This is a simulation issue, I've logged it on the tracker (#21055).

Best bet would be to run with TORR enabled, and right click the pink button marked 'Automatic Route Setting', this will disable the ARS and leave you to route manually. You can turn ACI off as well if you wish.

It does- it's an unusual implementation of it though!
