If I want to give right ow way to another train, should I stop BEFORE reverse point, AFTER or step on it?
and how soon after train passes me by should I cross reverse point?
I created little test activity but couldn't go after the AI train. Light do not change from red to yellow.

The light will not give you the restricted speed signal till the AI train get far enough ahead, usually at least one signal. Run it again and give it time for the AI train to clear the signal.Kevin Arceneaux

I still have problem with these reverse points.
I setup RP for AI going ahead of me. It stops and allows me to pass,
but after 2 next yellow lights the next signal turns red and I can't go further. But there are no other oncoming trains, my path is not ended and TAB trick doesn't help

I'm trying hard!!! AE is a kind of challenging game.
Sometimes it's more entertaining than MSTS itself

The play feature in the AE won't tell you how the activity will work, you need to run it in the sim to be sure. It sometimes will give you an idea how the ai traffic will work.RegardsEric

HiDon't know if I'd call the AE "entertaining", exasperatring (sp?)
would be closer to the truth One thing I do watch in VCR mode is the signals. If a train is
stopped by an unexplained Red in VCR mode, you will almost always
have the same problem when you run the activity.GaryG
