Can you adjust Grade Xing trigger distance ?

[yukontookon]

Can you adjust the distance at which a train will trigger a grade crossing to signal? I have installed a grade crossing (Grade Xing US 07 2L 1T) near a freight siding, but when I leave a car at the siding the crossing signal sounds continuously & gate stays down. Can you adjust / shorten the trigger distance ?

I believe its a auran default for those if ya use the ATLS system by boat you can adjust it to anything and they work with BNSF crossing s also

A quick look at those on Content Manager appear like they are all UK style - I'm looking for US style. Is US available and I overlooked it ?

BNSF50's crossings are US, and there are a LOT of them. Look under that username or search for "Grade XING", everything from 1L/1T to 6L/4T with or without gates, some with catwalks, side lights, wig wags, etc.

Is it obvious or self-explanitory how to change or set tho trigger distance of the BNSF crossings ?

Here are the tutorials:

Once you've built a crossing it's easy.

If you use the BNSF50's type "Grade Xing NRC" crossings which can be positioned anywhere/angle and use the "My Level Crossings Rule" <kuid2:131986:155203:1>, the crossing's distance can be adjusted by the built-in Teainz's triggers.

Thanks, that worked. Able to adjust the trigger distance as needed.

Another alternative is to put an invisible track and invisible junction lever just before the crossing.

When using the junction, flip the junction lever towards the invisible track. This makes the crossings see no train on the siding so the gates are up. When your're ready to move the car or train, put the lever in the correct position and the gates go down.

how do you make the crossing gates come down and the light flash, and the cars stop? the trains comes up and goes through it and noething happens? btw using bnsf crossing
