Firstly, Thank you for a great sim, especially the absolute bloick areas, makes it more difficult when you have to think further ahead.

The bug i have found is that on the up E&G near Winchburgh junction I have **** in the five berths heading towards edinburgh. I have only sent 2 trains down the line so far and just got an adverse change of aspect on PB542 for 1R02. They seem to increase periodically, it started as just one, but when I try to cancel I get the standard "can't interpose external berth"

It's currently 06:23, perfect running pre alloa no TORR on NX ticked. For some reason I cant find the save file to upload in my SimSig folder, even though it's there when I load up the sim.

Is there away around this as re-starting the sim doesn't work

Thanks again for 3 great sims
Mark

Have a look at the f2 list and tell me what you see that might be relevant. Someone else had a problem when they sent a train up there that had been wrong routed at Greenhill.

Yep that was me. :D

5B05 was the one I made a mistake with as it needs to go via Falkirk Grahamston not Falkirk High and this was the train reversing down the up line. It happened to me at about 0620 sim time so I think it may well be the same circumstances.

To solve the problem I reversed the direction of 5B05 ensuring it was going "up" and set the next location to Winchburgh Jn. It then leaves the sim OK when it gets to Winchburgh Jn.

Mark,
The .ssg files should be found in the Cscot sub-folder rather than the main SimSig folder.

I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

If you're running Vista or Windows 7 and you save in the Program FilesSimsigCScot folder (the default), chances are the files are hiding*. Check the folder in Windows Explorer and see if there's a button on the toolbar called "Compatibility Files". If there is, and you press it, you'll see the files.



* technically, the OS has virtualised them. Because the SimSig program files folder is read-only to a non-administrator user, Vista and Win7 pretend to Simsig that it's writing files there but actually stores them in your user profile. The idea is to avoid applications requiring administrative privileges or UAC prompts to run properly. The trouble is, Windows Explorer is aware of this feature so it doesn't "see" the files as being in the same folder (which is correct - they're not).

Thanks, It is 5B05, so I'm gonna modify the TT as described. Thank you all for your help. Never knew about the Compatibility Files thing (on Vista). Thanks for the advice Andy, I've been using these programs since just after they were made free, so a long time, and love every minute. My old name on the old forum was grinch but when they updated the site I updated my username to bring it in line with all the other forums i'm on lol

Thanks again

Thanks for that: it's the first I'd heard of it. I should perhaps consider getting the sims to look in a user folder instead.

Back in the days of Win98 it didn't matter....
