My problem is, when using the atls syatem in level crossing mode sometimes I get an error message saying the slave consist has derailed, and sometimes this causes the game to freeze. I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem, and can tell me what I'm doing wrong. thank you all.
I'm having a problem with the atls system

Slave consist
Sounds like you are getting consists running onto the invisible tracks that lead to the Slaves that control gates.
I made a thread on here that show how to set up ATLS crossings in pictures, but I can't remember the thread's name... bad memory I am afraid.
Try searching on my username and it may pop up in there.

As Angelah says, probabaly a visible train has run into the invisible train on the slave. If the Slave consist does de-rail or connect to another consist then Trainz will get terminally confused.
In the case of a Blue Slave, you shouldn't ever connect track to that which will have any chance of a visible train running along it.
In the case of the Yellow/Black Inverse Slave you can do that but it should be protected by signals so no visible trains cross it when the Slave is active.
However.....
There is/was one other case where the error you have did happen... but I haven't seen it since the early days of development.
If the track connecting the Slave to the crossing goes downhill close to the Slave, the invisible train can sometimes run down the hill and fall off the end if the track, (not that you'll see it of course).
To stop this I set the handbrake of the invisible train to on.... so it shouldn't happen!
Is your track on a hill?

Mmmmm
That's worrying actually. I wonder if in one of my updates, I've lost the Handbrake On command?
I'll take a look when I get chance.... Maybe its just a very steep hill! :hehe:
Let me know how you get on.
Was it a normal 'blue' Slave or an Inverse one?

PS - (edit) If it happens again, (presuming things don't freeze) go into map mode and see where the invisible consist has ended up. In the ditch, away from the Slave?
