After closely analyzing the script, I discovered that the Tower never requests the Lock (permit) for the Crossing. Consequently, when the train has passed and the system checks if the Tower has the rights to reopen it, it finds no lock and the reopening process fails. Here is the logical flaw...

Thanks for the suggestion. I have already tested the alternatives, but they don't solve the logic: Automatic: The Crossing works as a standalone object (it ignores the EIT protection). It closes only when the train is very close (approx. 200 meters), which is way too late for proper...

Hi, I have started using the Enhanced Interlocking Tower and I have configured a path that includes a Level Crossing. The crossing closes correctly when the path is active. When the train leaves, the path is definitely released (I can confirm this because the junctions return to their initial...

I asked myself the same questions for example on the functioning of the signals for which the Wiki is not updated / almost obsolete. The general question I want to ask is: - who feeds the Wiki ? - can we all participate in adding information to the wiki ? - if so, what is the procedure to do so...

I meant in trainz ... I just wanted to understand if the distance between the origin point of the locomotive and the origin point of the signal remains unchanged regardless of the length of the locomotive ...

Thanks pware, interesting info... and by changing the parameter the line "public define int HALF_A_CAR_LENGTH = 20;" inside the signal.gs file do you think it changes the stopping distance at the red signal ?

A question: Is the distance at which the front part of the locomotive stops always the same or does it change according to the length of the locomotives? (long locomotives stop with the front part closest to the signal, short locomotives stop with the front part furthest from the signal)

The signal should be moved further forward from its 3D origin point. In TRS22 I seem to recall that trackside objects can be moved relative to their position on the track. If the origin point remains stationary during this move, then it could be a solution.

In my opinion the buffers should all be trackside objects (no signs) and only those with passenger service or path objectives, a permanently red sign should be placed on the buffer. Only in this way would the logic of trainz come closer to that of reality and also to help EIT.

... If I'm not mistaken in Europe the system is called ETCS (European Train Control System)

Very interesting. In reality, do TCB work like this or is it a function created in Trainz to allow certain operating logics?

Sorry but I'm a bit confused about what the various versions offer... can you give a quick summary? What does platinum offer?

Here you will find some objects for measuring distances along the tracks. For instructions for use, see the PDF of the tutorial that can be downloaded together with the CDP https://www.trainzitalia.it/forum/index.php?/files/file/135-pack-progressiometri_v2-free-tb3-7/

.... and if the circuit is positioned across the signal the path see the TC Block. ?

Hello everyone, I'm about to enter the world of train circulation automation with EIT and MCM ... is the choice of the portal that issues the trains important? which one do you recommend me to use? Grazie Cooper Engineer
