Paddington signalling

[chrisdmadd]

When im leaving paddington in my scenario im following a train ahead, however i get a green aspect then a red one.... no ambers. This also happens just past Acton Mainline, I get a green then straight onto a red. Very hard not to SPAD!!

Any ideas why its doing this please?

This has been a known problem since KRS days - the Paddington approach is signalled (both ways) using two-aspect signals, which is wrong wrong wrong. IRL they are four-aspect.

In principle it should be quite easy to replace them all with four-aspect direct equivalents. For some reason RSC have not yet done so.

It would probably end up killing a lot of peoples scenarios. I cant blame them for not trying.

Eh, all the AI cares about is how many links from another train it is; the signals themselves are just pretty lights for the player. If they actually removed some there might be issues.

I, too, would assume that if you change a 2-aspect signal to a 2-aspect signal with the same number of links, nothing should change. But you never really know for the AI. Which seems to be RSC policy, sadly enough.
