    Red signals with ORTS explorer mode in routes which have buried signals

    Dear ORTS fans!

    The ORTS explorer mode in some routes which have buried signals like the RMD-West is annoying you with red signals. Not long ago a solution is to press CRTL M to release the TCS signals emergency was released.

    I found another solution on Elvas Tower with is simple and works for me.

    You have to use an editor like "Notepad++" with program lines to be sure that you change the right line to do this.

    In the Notepad++ (which is freeware, or your favorite editor, which show programlines and saves in UNICODE)) load the sigscr.dat file in the root directory of RMD_West.

    Go to line 312 which reads state = SIGASP_STOP; and change the line to state = SIGASP_APPROACH;

    Save the file in UNICODE as usual.

    No more red signals in the in the explorer mode of this route.

    My personal opinion is that OpenRails Explorer mode of all routes, it should be possible to move around and not getting any
    red signals or Emergency braking and freely explore the route. I think this is to be kept in mind, as the programs will be more and more complicated.

    All the best from John in Norway

      Hi ebnertra000!

      I just changed SIGASP_STOP to SIGASP_APPROACH on line 312.
