Recently some updates were made available to most of the Scottish Sims however for Central Scotland, Cowlairs and North East Scotland it doesn't actually say what the updates were on the vast Wiki...

Does anyone know what the recent updates did please?

Same here. I have no idea what the update was for. However, when I restarted a Central Scotland game after the update, a signal around Plean was corrupted and many of the signal "stalks" disappeared partially. Game was still playable.

I believe the update was just version numbers being updated on the sims.

I received updates on 1st Jan for Aston, Cowlairs, Central Scotland, North East Scotland, and Paisley.

If a CScot savegame broke in the updated version, I suspect that more was changed than just a version number update.

The updates were an accumulation of issues that had been posted on the forum and elsewhere from time to time.
A couple of further things have since arisen on CSCOT which I'll attend to shortly.

Is the latest version 1.2 (25/04/17)?

In Zone 6, no one can hear you scream...

The only reason I asked was with previous updates, the wiki explains what issues they resolved and having not seen anything I wondered what they could fixing.

Hi Peter,

In the issues list, did you have that LN46 main stalk has disappeared and now incorrectly displayed as a shunt on the opposite line (in post-SAK)?

Thanks!

I'me not entirely sure how it happens but very occasionally if I click on an element in the editor screen the cursor holds onto it and dumps it elsewhere and I don't always notice. Those more technically minded might understand the mechanics of how that might happen but I certainly don't.

I can confirm that signal LN46 was the offending signal, when I resumed play after the update. The stalks on many other signals seem to flash on and off with the signal when its on flash mode.

Hmm, odd, it appears to be that version. I wonder why I thought it had updated. It might be an error on my part. I listed the updates based on file update time in my Simulations directory. I might have accidentally changed the file when looking in the directory.

Aston 1.2 is the latest version released.

Hi all I now have (NE SCOT) Stalks flashing after train has passed and gaps in the route setting (white line) although service passes over the track. Iain.

Stalks flashing is a new indication with loader version 4.9 that the route has been used and needs to be cancelled manually. https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Forum/ThreadView/49351
