Activating Signals

[eric]

There are several new versions since 7.002.......

if you want to stick with Goku's version, then use 7.012 ( http://koniec.org/tsre5/ )

If you want to try bleeding edge with some improvements, 8.004 is in the library: https://www.trainsim.com/forums/file...leid?fid=88791

How steep is the learning curve for these versions? When it comes to the sim, I'm always hesitant to venture into the unknown. Bad memories of MSTS still haunt me I suppose.

If you can use 7.002, you can use 8.004 or 7.012.

So I decided to take the chance & go w/the bleeding edge option & installed v8.004. I once again deleted & reinstalled a couple of signals on the new branch line & they are working properly except one of the signals displays yellow when it should show red. I assume that is b/c both of the red directional arrows are pointing the same direction even though the signals themselves are pointing in opposite directions. When I rotate the signals to the opposite directions, the arrows are unchanged. So my question now is, how do I get the directional arrows to point in the proper direction? clint

The flip button should flip the arrow.... I'm not sure why the shape and arrow are flipped independently but that was how it was done by Goku.

Works great when you know what buttons to push! Thanks to all who helped resolve this issue. clint

Admittedly, when you use it for day in day out for months at a time, you forget those little things and they start to become muscle memory.

Maybe this is already verified, but have you checked if write to TDB is set to true in the settings.txt? (Can't remember the exact wording of the input)

I've made that mistake in the past while doing scenery, and then forgetting to set it back to true when working on interactives

[texascowboy]

Joe: Thanks for the reminder about the TDB. I too, have made that mistake from time to time when working in RE. That's why I keep a spare copy of the original TDB handy so I can reinstall it if/when that happens. Thanks again...clint
