I have done some mechanical signals for a specific Route.
I just have a small little problem with them.They are animated correctly, the config and scrito files seem to be ok... but theres just one small 'bug'.When in Explore Route Mode, with the track monitor display I can see the aspect of a signal... most of the time, what happens is that the aspect shows green in the track monitor, but the mechanical arm is in the position I defined as red.
Now I happen to know that this has nothing to do with a wrong definition in the config file od position 0 or 1.
This is because I passed the signal... stayed on the red position, then I enverted the loco, moved... and when I cleared the signal, the arm finnaly moved to green position. after that the signal arm functions perfectly...
bottom line is... the signal only behaves properly after the first occupation of the block... and not right from the beggining of the simulation..
... so what it seems to me is that there is some sort of reset funtion or something of the kind. Have I missed something on the script file?I thak in advance for any insight about this.
