Reverse Point Keeps Going Back To Original Position!!??

[meeshu]

Test activity for Europe2 (Innsbruck to St. Anton), running under Open Rails version 1.3.1.

Short dead end siding with a cut of about 7 cars positioned about half way down this siding. There are no switches nor signals anywhere near this siding.

Initially had a Reverse Point located near the end of the siding, but (tried to) re-locate this Reverse Point closer to the consist. Moved the Reverse Point, saved the Path changes and Saved the Activity. Did this twice in the end.

But every time I run this activity the Reverse Point is STILL in its original position near the end of the siding!? The re-located position of the Reverse Point near the cut of cars does not seem to be saved!?

Why is the new location of the Reverse Point not being saved!?

These are the mysteries of the MS activity editor. If you build the path with TrackViewer, this doesn't occur.
If you insist using the MSTS AE, better you delete the path and create a new one.

Thanks.

Had a brief look at TrackViewer (under Open Rails). It found the suspect Reverse Point in the Innsbruck to St Anton route activity to be "faulty", and I applied a "fix" to this Reverse Point using the Track Viewer feature and saved the change to the activity path.

Unfortunately, on running the activity again, the "fix" didn't seem to work as the Reverse Point is still located near the end of the siding!

And as far as I can tell so far, TrackViewer does not appear to allow one to create activities as such from scratch(?) MSTS Activity Editor has to be used for creating activities instead.

Hi meeshu,
with TrackViewer you can only create paths, and not activities.

Consider also that OR may move the RP if the distance between last signal before the RP or last switch that must be moved before the PR is smaller than the consist length.

Noted, thanks.
