Another big AI issue.

[Mick_Berg]

Hi.

The AI in TS2012 is exhibiting another behaviour that is stopping my sessions dead in their tracks, so to speak.

I have a train ready to start out on a journey. All junctions are set the right way, all signals are clear. The train starts, but immediately the signal it is waiting at goes to "stop", and it stops. After a few seconds again, the train starts, but the signal immediately goes to "stop" again and the train stops. This behaviour continues until I "help" the train manually past the signal. Then all is fine and it completes its journey. BTW there is only one train in the session.

And how's this for weird, clicking on the signal is supposed to take you to the point on the route that is causing the problem. I am taken to a place that has nothing to do with the train's route.

I'd be grateful if someone would try clicking on their signals, and seeing where they are taken.

Thanks,
Mick Berg.

Hi Mick, I have the same problem. It's getting on my nerves.

This sounds like another case of the "reversed switch" problem. Try and find the switch that is being thrown in sync with the signal .
Possibly this is a switch positioned on a curved section of track, and is turning left, before turning right crossing the track, (or right before left).
The AI is seeing a green signal, but the switch is against it. As it throws the switch, the signal turns red, so it throws the switch again and again, thus producing the see-saw action.
Anyway, this is my best guess with the info provided.

Thanks Andyz, it's a good suggestion, and I will check for it. But I've found that the problem moves around as I eliminate signals, etc. So I suspect that there are no reversed switches. But I have certainly had some in the past.
