Operating SCS

[Bravura Lion]

I was wondering why I can not select any end signal in the current version of the SCS and he puts the route accordingly. Now you always have to make intermediate steps so that you get here the desired route. In the picture I have an example I would like to click at 1 and at 2 then trigger the route.

I guess that this is the way the actual signal box works? As for the reason I don't have a clue. 🙂 Maybe have something to do with the crossing on track 2?

i have been at station where that is possible. for large stations, this is actually very helpful and saves time.

Just as an example. the same thing works in psary.

The difference between your screenshot from Psary Katowice Zawodzie is easy.

 

Katowice Zawodzie:

You don't have locked switches, so the way be set in multiple ways - that's why you have to set the route "one by one" signal. You can check the image in the attachments, the game can set for the train various types of the way (path).

 

Psary:
You have locked switches, so trains can go only straight way. There isn't any other way for the train like as in Katowice.

 

PS: That yellow thing in Psary on switches means, that it is locked and cannot be moved to other position without manual unlocking by dispatcher.

 

 

Possible ways to set path for the train(s) (example):

Quick question re Psary. How do I accept and confirm the direction arrows for trains from Starzny? And route trains towards Starzny on the single line?

I don't have screenshots nor can I tell you what the buttons mean, but the captions will help.

1) When the operator from the single track asks for permission, respond to him saying that he is authroized (follow the prompts if AI, and if not AI just chat with them or talk with mic.  If the arrow is in the worng direction click on it and you will need to select the option that changes direction.

2) Once the AI operator has this confirmation you will see a flashing arrow.  Click on this.  

3) Now here is where you will just have to read your options.  Once you click the arrow at the top a bunch of options come up.  Look for the one that accepts the request.  When you do this this will finalize the operation and the train will begin to approach.  You can then hold him, or clear when the line is available.

When you requie to send a train to a single line section if it's AI you can skip some of these steps as the AI can handle things, however if you go by the book this is what you should do.

1) Click on the button on the phone for the AI operator and ask permission to enter (this can also be done with a human like above).

2) Once operator accepts click on the arrow and select the request options.  Again you have to read this and see what optoin does what.

3) The Arrow will start to flash and will turn solid once the AI has allowed entry.  From there you can send a train down this line.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Sean, I'll try that when next on.

 

IMHO though it's something the game should be walking you through.
