Turntable Error

Unread postby JerryC » Wed Oct 29, 2014 2:07 pm

I know for a fact that I have created scenarios before that utilize a turntable. Specifically, I created the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum scenario for the NSAND route. The user was required to drop train, traverse the turntable, turn, then go back and couple to the other end of the train. Now, i'm trying to create a scenario for Marias Pass, using the turntable at Whitefish to go get a loco in the roundhouse (unrealistic today, not so much in an earlier time). The scenario editor though will not let me include the turntable in my instructions, giving me the "Dispatch cannot route through turntable / traverser" error. Maybe i've forgotten something since the NSAND, but I don't understand why I could do it then, but not now.

BTW, you can still use the turntable, I just can't give instructions that require the train to route through the turntable. The turntable is also a little "twitchy".

You can make a stop at next to the turn table, then make your path to go in the other direction, if you just plan on turning around and doing more traveling. So you stop, enter the turntable, turn around and continue on your way. To go into a stall is not possible except in freeroam, unless the turntable was lined up that way when placed on the route. I set mine up to be able to start in a stall, with the turn table aligned with that stall and the rest of the track. Then you can start or end a scenario in a stall.
