#Rocrail review manual

You can use Rocrail in 2 modes: Manual and Automatic. I agree that it appears to be a setting that is ticked or a definition of a block type that is causing you this problem.ġ. I will post up some screenshots later in the week or over the weekend. I believe I have set the entry direction correctly. I'm sure it's just a direction problem somewhere, but it's odd how I can sometimes go from block 1 to 2, and it seems to kinda want to go from 2 to 1 after that, but nothing else, and I can't get it to accept picking up the loco and manually placing it.Īt the moment I only have one route set-up, between adjacent blocks '7' and '43' and back.

Nor really what the difference between 'auto' and 'wait' is and these things don't seem to be in the Rocrail wiki.Īt one point the trace window did tell me the block didn't accept trains in the direction I was coming from, so that was helpful, but I haven't had that since. I still don't understand the '' & '-' signs in the loco status window. It's must be something simple causing this, I have read the step-by-step start-up guide several times, but it's not very good at explaining. I spent too much time on this yesterday with work etc, will do some testing over the weekend.Ĭan't remember the manual test, I didn't use drag-n-drop, maybe it was a different test were it stopped and changed lights. In any case, I agree with Peter that something is not right. You can try to change the logical direction before the second drag & drop to see if that helps. Did I understand correctly that the loco changes its direction twice: once when it hits the 'in' sensor of the destination, and once again when you use the drag & drop to send it back? If so, then the logical direction of the loco does not match with the direction it should go, and it will stay put. Reading this gives me the impression that you are using drag & drop automatic mode to run the loco. It's like it thinks it's gone somewhere else, and I can't get it to understand it's still in the same block. Problem is, after that, I couldn't get it to move again.

I then dragged it back to the the original block, and it changed lights and started going in the wrong direction, but that's just a matter of swapping direction, I assume.

I just tried a manual run, and it went to the destination block, and when it hit 'In', it stopped and changed the lights over. I managed to get a loco to runs through a route, but no more, and I don't know why.Īs soon as I tell is to go, it puts the name of the loco in the destination block and turns the background yellow. Rocrail isn't the easiest concept to get along with, but I am reading through the wiki and guides.
