Just quickly but with regards to the TCFs happening in SimSig, when you tell the driver of XXXX to pass signal XXXX at danger and proceed at caution - they always get back with no obstruction found so my question is after all this time, is it possible for the driver to come back with anything else other then the bog standard reply?

I mean there must be plenty of reasons for a TCF so can anything be done with the loader to reflect this please?

I'm fairly sure it goes against Simsig's no accidents etc policy. but even then, how do you proceed or enforce it? if it isn't a TCF, but a vehicle on the line, how will the train proceed? how will the programme know which TC's are adjacent to TC's on other lines so it can penalise the signaller if they don't block adjacent lines and a train passes on an adjacent line?

If it's a broken rail then its either job stopped which not everyone has the ability to deal with if TT's need to be amended for instance, otherwise its a speed restriction, and again how do you enforce this?

I feel like it adds a lot of complication that not everyone wants to simulate and its probably best left as a Host controlled situation in multiplayer.
