Good day to all,I finished up a small oval route. All of the switches are manual, and when testing with just a single Dash-9, the sim crashed every time I go to change a switch. There are several switches in this route, and there are four switches that when I change them, the program crashes, and hard, requires system reboot. Anybody else having these problems? And does anyone know what might be going on?Thanks, Lonnie

Do you experience any crashes while in the game itself?

Ooops, I forgot to mention that part. Yeah, that's when I suffer these crashes. And it only happens when I set a switch to change tracks. Doesn't matter if I press the 'G'key or if I click on the switch in the 'Switch Driving Aid'. It doesn't happen at most of the other switches. I'm going to try a couple of things today. I'll set up a path so it sets the switch for me, and if that doesn't work, I'll try replacing the manual switch with a computer controlled one and then try again. Since it doesn't happen with all of the switches, I'm lost as to what it could be. I guess if I can't figure it out I'll make a posting in the 'Bug' section.Thanks, Lonnie

Thanks for the link. I can see that I was missing a couple things. But there is one thing, I had this nasty crash thing happening when I was working on yard track. I had only gotten the yard done with some main line at each end. When testing the track in the game, it crashed whenever I tried set the third switch going into the yard. I scrapped it thinking it could have been something I had done. I'm going to try a couple of things and see what happens. But it will have to wait until I get back from work.Thanks, Lonnie

This is not true about looped tracks not working. I had no trouble running my reversing loop once I used only one loco and drove it to the far switch first. That method does not present a switch ambiguity.That reversing loop is described somewhere here. I attached it to both the Whitefish yard and the Shelby yard using ends of existing track.
