Settle and Carilse DLC: Signal Problems

[dude30146]

Hey guys,

I'm having a problem with the semaphore signals from the Settle and Carilse DLC. When I place them, they do not change until the train is literally at the signal. The signal reads 'signal is waiting for the train to approach', even when the train is just a few feet from the signal, this means my trains keep coming to a stop and then having to restart. How can i solve this? If anyone has a clue, make sure its a real idiot's guide, i often need stuff spelled out for me.

Cheers

I take it you're talking about AI trains having a problem. The problem you describe could indicate that something up ahead is not quite right and the AI is having a problem getting a clear route to its intended target (trackmark or industry).

If you are using the signals correctly (Use this guide), move the destination point closer to the problem signal until it reacts correctly. i.e put more trackmarks down, especially in front of junctions, which may be the source of your problem, and instruct the train to drive to that trackmark. This should tell you where the problem starts. You can always delete the trackmarks once you've solved the problem.

Good luck!

This is usually because there's a distant signal missing from the sequence, and is a useful thing when signalling the approach to sidings.

I too have a problem with the signals, but a different one: the arms never move. Is there a way to solve this?
