Signal number question

[guyprentice]

I am adding signals to a route I'm working on. As I add the signals, I am changing the signal # to a mileage and direction based system, which works better for me from a planning and troubleshooting standpoint. I drive to the milepost I want to add a signal, go into surveyor mode, make sure that I'm on the route layer, add the signal and change the name, then save. When I go back into driver mode, most of the signals reflect the newly assigned number but SOME display the old number when I hover the mouse over them . I'm running Trainz 2022 and using the Searchlight Signal 04, 06-LD and 06-RD signals.

Is there a way to correct this so that all of the signals display the new number?

Did you possibly duplicate some names? Each signal should have a unique name

Entering duplicated names did generate error messages in older versions of Trainz but not any more. Duplicate names are now allowed.

I just attempted to reproduce the conditions described in the first post without success - I was using Trainz Plus not TRS22 so that may be the reason or perhaps I had not added enough signals.

Try the following. Instead of using the UDS to switch back-and-forth between Driver and Surveyor to add the signals, do it all in Surveyor without using Driver. Does that make a difference?

Hi Christopher - No, no duplicates. I'm using "SIGNAL ####" where #### is the distance from the east end of the route.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give this a try.
