Turnout Issuse

[ApproachMedium]

What's the deal with only being able to throw a turnout if the train is a certain distance away? I have to drive almost an entire car length away from the points to be able to throw the turnout. I don't understand. I even thought that maybe the train had to be off the spline, but shortening the turnout spline does nothing. This issue really confuses the AI drivers. They'll drive like a mile away then reverse direction to couple to the said freight car.

Also, is there a way to manually change a signals aspect? Like if the signal is green but I want an AI train to wait, can I make it red?

Thanks for the help.

If you go to the Track/Trackmark mode/Advanced in Surveyor you may adjust the trigger radius for the switch. To control signals manually, look for the Signal Details Rule on the DLS.

Ok, so I got the turnout problem fixed. And I downloaded the Signal Details Rule but it doesn't seem to work. Is it not TS09 compatable. I put in in the session rules but I can't seem to change signal aspects in driver.

BTW George, I downloaded your "Loops" route and I just have to say that it's fantastically sceniced! I love it! Thanks for the help.
