Hi Pete, thanks for your reply.

As suggested by Ged, I have tried to run MSTS In It's original state, before Open Rails & ORTSContent became additions but absolutely nothing Is happening/loading at all!

Thanks

Paul.

There are two problems with activity #5 on the Leeds-Carlisle route. First as has already been identified, the second reverse point is in the wrong place, and the junction signal where the Settle line diverges from the mainline is faulty in OR.
To deal with the signal problem I use the dispatch window. I change it to a green and the AI continues towards Leeds. Then I do the same thing again with the junction signal for the player. After that it is just running to Leeds. There will be times when you get adverse signals because you tend to catch up with the AI ahead from time to time

Good Morning Mervyn, thanks for your reply.

A little disappointed here, I have always picked Activities that last at least a Couple of Hours, Always preferred the longer Routes/Activities.

I have never attempted Route or Activity creation so I guess this Is not going to work for me.

Thanks Paul.

Hi Mervyn,
Thanks for the tip regard the Dispatch Manager; it's something I've not looked at before!
However, when I tried it, setting it to Approach or Proceed, the Track Monitor flashed the appropriate colour but remained at red. This applies whether I am in Auto or Manual mode.
I have removed the AI train for now so am only referring to the Player train. It's quite possible that I'm doing something incorrectly or not doing something I should! Alternatively, if the signal files don't have a 'Clear' or 'Proceed' option for that signal, would that have the same effect?

Any/all suggestions welcomed

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged
When you click on a signal in the dispatch window you should get a little popup to let you select the aspect you wish to have displayed.
I have reworked the activity to remove the two reverse points at the start of the path, and remade the player consist with the engines already coupled.

Hi Mervyn,
Thank you, but when I click on either Approach or Proceed neither the Track Monitor nor the actual signal changes. Should I expect it to ?
The only way I can get past the signal is to switch to Manual mode and press <TAB>..

Referring to my previous message, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the sigcfg/sigscr files.

Cheers,
Ged

Good Morning Mervyn.

Does this mean you have done a New Leeds-Settle-Carlisle Download please?

If so Is It for MSTS, Open Rails or ORTSContent please.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Ged
While testing my revised version of the activity in various versions of OR, I find that the 1.6 release does not allow the signal to remain on green if changed in the dispatch window, it resets to red, something for the dev code team to look at.

Paul
I have not finished my testing yet, but will package it when finished. Open Rails is the game engine, OpenRailsContent is where you put routes. trains and track/road systems, they are not different games, just two parts of the same thing.

Hi Mervyn.
Testing version T1.5.1-2098 - change not effected but all signals on bracket 'twitch'.
Unstable U2025.09.25-0824 - change not effected.
ORNYMG 169.3 - ALL signals on bracket set to clear and Track Monitor shows Green.

I appreciate that the above may not be the current Testing and Unstable versions and I'll need to re-test.

Cheers,
Ged
