BVE: Problem with closing door in Santhia-Biella

[vince_black]

Hi,

I tried last version of Sanbie route with the last version of Aln773. But in first station "Salussola" (?) it's impossible to leave the station ... I can't close the door - it seems the alert sound and closing the door sound are still cycling ... When I tried to jump into this or other station via right-click menu, door are closed after leaving time, but I cannot run the machine at all! When I release brake and set the power, the train starts to go back "from the hill" and ignore the power ... :-(

So I don't understand it ... anybody else hadn't this problem?

Hello Vince,

Inside Aln773 readme file you can read this:

This DMU is operated via a diesel hydraulic transmission: a hydraulic torque
converter produces a continuous ratio conversion between 0.20 and 1.
After the speed of 80 Km/h has been reached (when allowed by the gradient of
the line) it's possible to switch off the hydraulic transmission and to fit
the top-gear: with this further step it's possible to obtain the maximum power
to weels and to reach the maximum allowed speed (110 Km/h).

Using Oskari Saarekas's plug-in OS_ATS1, this behavior and its commands could
be simulated with an enough accurate way (in my opinion).

The hydraulic transmission and the top-gear are operated via the "gear" handle
on the left, wich can be set in 3 positions:
0 - Neutral
1 - Hydraulic transmission on and top-gear off
2 - Hydraulic transmission off and top-gear on
To change from a lower to a higher position press the Home key, while on the
opposite, to return to a lower position, press the End key.

The handle on the right, haveing 7 notches (Neutral and from 1 to 6), is
instead the trottle handle and is operated as usually in BVE with Z key to
accelerate and A to decelerate.

The gear handle can only be operated when the trottle handle is in neutral
position (idling motor).

Furthermore, to obtain traction at weels, the reverser lever have to be
operated: it's fitted with the 3 positions (Forward-Idle-Backward) and operated
via ArrowUp and ArrowDown keys.

To start the train you have to follow these steps:
1 - Press the "Arrow Up" key to set the reverser forward
2 - Wait the departure time and doors closed
3 - Press more times "," (comma) key to release brakes
4 - Press once the "Home" key to set the hydraulic transmission on
5 - Press more times the "Z" key to accelerate: if allowed by the gradient of
the line, you can reach 85 Km/h

To further increase the speed until the maximum allowed (110 Km/h) you have to
switch the hydraulic transmission off and the top-gear on (only if the speed
is higher then 80 Km/h) in this way:
1 - Press more times the "A" key to idle the motor (pos. N).
2 - Press once the "Home" key to switch the top-gear
3 - Accelerate again pressing the "Z" key

And this in the download page http://web.tiscali.it/BVE_Italy1/Dow...n773v1_dn.html :
Note:
After to use of the "Jump to station" option of the menù, the train could rest idle (out of traction). To reset it: set the reverser in neutral N (Arrow down) and then il forward position (Arrow up).

I hope this can help... Cheers,

O.K. I understand "Jump to station" problem, but what I can do with cycling closing door in Salussola?

Thanks

Well, this is the code of the route file Sanbie-773-bve4.csv concerning the stop at Salussola station:

....

...

The second and third parameters of the .stop statement 10;10, set at position 11131 say that the stop is allowed from position 11121 to 11141, so I think that what you say could happen if the effective stop point in your trip has been between position 11121 and 11126, because these positions are before the .station statement (at 11127).

Try to modify the .stop statement to:
11131,.stop 0;3;17,
and see what it does happen...
