Signals relocate on spline insertion[?]

[GizmoGorilla]

I couldnt find a thread relating to this so I wonder if I could get someone to clear up my confusion...

While working on my layout, I find that if I insert a spline on a continuous length of track that has several signals for bidirectional travel...the signals relocate themselves. If I start with this...

O-------ss--------------------------ss-----------O


"O" represents the spline, and "ss" would be a pair of signals, one facing each direction for two way travel. If I insert a spline in the middle then the signals relocate[!] and I end up with this...


O---s----s------------O--------------s-----s-----O


Is this a bug, or am I not understanding whats going on here. Is it best, to pair signals beside each other for bidirectional travel on a single line or is trainz trying to "fix" the signal positions...

Thanks!!

Old theme in the old forum. Basically what you do is create two track segments when you insert a middle spline. Somehow each segment "relocates the signals" to whatever it thinks should be. A flaw? maybe, but is very easy to move the signals back to the proper location and continue. We all live with this "feature" and lately nobody gives too much attention. But you are right, it should not be.. Oh! well...

OK, thanks for the info...I'll try to live with that "feature"
