Inside the MCM's rule box, you can select the distance of that the MCM can detect a train.
But, from last update, this distance doesn't work. I guess that is an issue that could be resolved on next update.
One option that you can choice is the use of EIT path triggers. When a train pass over this, the MCM assigns the corresponding path independently of the detection distance.
Is the track from LHS to S1 a single bi-directional track? If so, you could set up a Track Circuit Block, with insulators at S1 and the left hand entrance to the single track (making sure any branches off / on to the track are also insulated). Then, in the path definition for s3-s1, set the TCB processing option to process only the exit signal. This will ensure that s3-s1 cannot be activated until the single track has been cleared.

Hi guys, just to make sure about what Pierre is talking "TCB embedding the exit signals for paths leading to the single track"
_B5__________B6__..........................................____S5_________S6__
..............................\__B2____________S2____/.............................
_B2__________B3__/.......................................\____S2_________S3__
We are talking double line TCB for B5-B6, B2-B3, than, single line B2-S2 and again double line S5-S6 AND S2-S3?
Also, if I set my trains westbound and have 15-20 mission codes (MC). Instead having those 15-20 single MC can they be grouped in one code and called Westbound?
Ups! I understood this in the wrong way. I think that the explanation that you did about MCM on wiki site is correct. Now, I'm doing a spanish version about that for the spanish players.Hi Grupostr.
Just to clarify a misunderstanding : the distance you can set in MCM's rule box has nothing to do with train detection and path activation ; as told in the text header this distance is the "follow path search distance" which is the maximum distance along which MCM will search for the next entry signal to find a follow path. By default this distance is 10000 m (10 km) and follow path will activate the next path if the distance between the two entry signals of the initial path and the follow path is less than 10 km. if the distance to the next entry signal is more than 10 km the follow path method will fail and you will need to add a pathtrigger at less than 10 km from the next entry signal to activate the next path when the train will reach the pathtrigger.

Thank you Pierre,
I will need some time to process this and I am sure I will have more questions. But for now, you are mentioning "exit signal TCB option", don't realy know what do you mean by that. And how do I set my driver command for this situation?
Thanks again
Rob
