Has anyone seen the simulation? I downloaded the sample session and to say it has mistakes would be putting mildly.
Some of the problems
Wrong point numbers
Signals missing
Being able to signal trains right up behind others
Signal irregularity
It's done by PC Rail.

Some of the problems Wrong point numbers Signals missing Being able to signal trains right up behind others Signal irregularity It's done by PC Rail. Alas I no longer have time for such things although I used to spend hours running such simulations. I guess LU are none too keen on giving out detail such as point and signal numbering these days although such are pretty much open secrets to the very observant. Is it supposed to be an LT signalling sim or has it somehow morphed into future TBTC? As we know signal diagrams are at best a rough guide to the real time situation on the ground, generally scale is a big anomaly, so what you see as potential irregularity may simply be a poor display. Remember how movements appeared on the diagram at Farringdon Cabin the morning after the Aldgate resignalling? That's what I'm talking about, trains still berthed at signals a full minute after they had replaced them and related real world anomalies which took weeks to resolve! Give the programmers some feedback and hope to see improvements. |

Trackernet used to be just the same (perhaps it still is), with trains going past red signals, going to a different route to that shown on the cleared signal, shunt signals permanently off, trains leapfrogging each other on the same track etc.

I remember seeing it a few years ago. Inablility to preselect was the main thing I noticed, though I wasn't looking too closely!

You can get trains right up behind i.e. you can signal a train past EC9 (only this signal one of the missing no EC9B) right up to EC10 with a train in the platform. |
