I asked a few days ago about a shunting activity and someone said something about a passing path. could someone please tell me what one is and how i go about setting one up? cheers
Jason, here is a long thread that went into passing paths with a lot of good info.http://www.train-sim.com/dcforum/DCForumID7/1186.html I think I will print that thread out one day and make a tutorial on them.Kevin Arceneaux DEFAULT IS FOR DUMMIES
All,When does "optional paths" become available.. I have the path editor up and am working with a path that has passing paths defined - yet - the box to check optional paths is greyed out...I did read your previous thread as well and fond it very informative...Thanks, Scott
You have to click on highlight path and then advance, by clicking next, till you get to the passing path points. Then enabled the path changes to yellow.Kevin Arceneaux DEFAULT IS FOR DUMMIES
Hi ..I'm as far as turning the things yellow by highlighting and clicking the use optional path box, .... but if you right click on the switch at the start of the passing siding, you can choose 'begin passing place' and then it puts a blue spot down and both tracks turn green till the switch at the end of the passing track .... what's that about? (Still experimenting ) jv
