After running ORTS for 20 minutes or so on the Perkersburg branch, in a very crooked area, I get this error (see attached file) and then when I accept it, ORTS crashes to desktop. I am guessing that I need to add another node (zero turnout) in the midst of all these back and forth, 6,7 & 8 degree curves but?
Conventional wisdom in ORTS says you shouldn't need to use the zero length node anymore... That said, I wound up adding a couple in the CNW Chicago where I was getting those dreaded TDB zigzags on long unbroken curvy tracks...

Evidently it was the node issue because after I inserted a zero turnout about 1/3 of the way into the crooked area, the simulation ran fine through it to the next legitimate
turnout and then on to the end of the line, where I show the L&N train on the future B&O bridge.
Huh. I have to wonder if it's TSRE that's getting confused, or ORTS. I've suspected there's a decimal precision or floating point error in TSRE around the TDB calculations, which is manifesting after lots of compound curves and also in areas where I've used 4m track spacing vs. 5m.
