    Telephone poles

    I keep getting this error code in OR

    Warning: Cannot parse the constant number -1.#IND in c:\program files\microsoft games\train simulator\routes\sandpatch\shapes\cptelepoles.s:li ne 176

    Also in the display window what does it mean when the train icon turns red? I went over a switch in explore mode and it did this do i need to run the route in manual?

      Open file named "cptelepoles" and you'll find the error on line 176 - someone with knowledge of shape files will know what to do. It is only a warning, it is not something that would prevent ORTS from running properly.

      Red Train = Player off path, you must switch to manual mode. You do not need to stop to do this, switching from auto to manual and back again can be done on the fly. In manual mode, all signals and switches are controlled by the player. Any signal or switch that does not respond is probably reserved for traffic.

          ???? Train icon is always Red in the Explore Mode. And when you hit CTRL-M while in the Explore Mode a Warning pops up and says "Cannot change to Manual mode while in Explore Mode."

          In the Activity mode the Train Icon is white unless one has switched to the Manual Mode and driven the lead loco off the Path.

              I hate to say this but this happens all the time on Sand Patch explore mode as soon as i reach the switch tower outside Cumberland. and I tried to go into Manual mode and it came up with the same "Cannot change to Manual mode while in Explore Mode." as crstagg stated. It' not the only route that does this it when you go into explore mode.
              Thank you for clarifying it is for the wrong path.

              The Red Icon has appeared when I uncouple any car. I had always guessed the Red Icon was for a brake issue.

                  Charles, that is incorrect. If the player is on path when starting in Explore Mode, the train symbol in the track monitor will be white - until the player goes off path - which is quite common in explore mode - and then it will change to red. At that point (if the train has not run through a switch or past a red) nothing else will happen.

                      regarding underlined/bold portion - Correct operation - because that is where that particular path ends. And since EXPLORE loads in manual mode you cannot switch to it. If while in explore you encounter a SPAD condition (or anything else that triggers the emergency brake)you have to reset it to continue.

                      In Explore when the train symbol changes from white to red nothing else happens, the symbol changes color - that's all.

                      This is curious, can you provide any screenshots or logs when this is happening?

                          In Explore Mode you must select a starting point.

                          That is the beginning of a path and the train Icon will be white as long as you are on the path you selected.
                          The Icon will turn Red if you leave the path which you may do any time you wish if a turnout (switch) is available.

                          The Red Icon will turn White if you rejoin the path you selected.

                          In Explore Mode you may run through a closed switch without penalty. Not sure about running a Red signal though as I didn't test that.
