RE: speed sign

I have a problem with the number it shows up on the wrong side of the sign and if I rotate the numbers my speed limits are all backward .How do I rotate the sign.

Hi St.Coeur@ post 1: To my knowledge, you can only have one limit per sign, applying either to all trains, to freight trains only, or to passenger trains only. In the latter case of individual limits for freight and passenger, when you want to have both limits start at the same location, you need to place two speedlimits and adjust the signs to sit next to or above each other. @ post 2: Not sure if that is the info you are after, as the numbers should be attributed to the .s file of the sign (speedpost.dat of your route), meaning that you can only rotate the sign together with the numbers. So in case you could just "grab just the numbers, move them away from the sign and rotate them" I'd assume that something is wrong with how you set-up (edited) the speedpost.dat...Normal procedure: Place the speed limit (multicolored diamond) on the track. Grab (F2) and move (F3) the speed limit sign (whatevername.s) to the side of the track. While the sign is still selected & in "wireframe mode", click F4 and use the arrows on your numerical keypad to rotate it left or right until the sign faces the direction you need.Lukas a.k.a Swissie

RE: speed sign

Did that already don't work and I tried rotating the numbers and that don't work. The number goes on the right side but when I try the route the speed limit is backward.

Sad thing. >Are you going add your speed post sign in the
>library files I realy could use them.In some days as I am making some more speed signs:
Permanent and Reduce speed without the LRC Signs.N.B. You can put two speed limits on the signs: one for the Passenger and one different for the Freight.I am also creating some more Milepost signs as they are defined in the same speedpost.dat file.I will keep you informed. Robert

RE: speed sign

It was CN in the 80's but they sold it to Quebec so now it's NBEC and CFMG Railway.
