I am new at activity design and have a question...I have an activity (Ohio Rail)that has a reverse point to back into a siding to pick up cars, then go to the next town, another reverse point to back into a siding to pick up cars....the first operation goes as planned. When I get to the second one, I pass the siding up a little, I see a red signal ahead (far enough away), and when I try to back into the siding, the activity ends because it says I backed through a red signal. As I back up to get into the siding, I notice both (top and bottom) signals are red. What are some suggestions for figuring out where I went wrong? I double checked the path and can find no problems....the train easily fits into the space between the reverse points. The "siding" reverse point is only past the turnout a small amount as this is where the string I'm picking up is sittingAny ideas would be apreciatedPS...I have a copy of Rich Garbers tutorial...Thanks Leslie
Hi,When I read your story quite well, the signal you are passing through, guards the siding. If this is the case, the signal is of course red as there are cars in the siding. Did you ask permission to pass the signal by the Tab key?Dick van den Hoven
gonna try that now...I also dod a search in the archives and have a better understanding (I understand that it is hard to understand!) of reverse point placement....ThanksLeslie
