Mullan Signal Problem in HorsepowerHours Activity

[R. Steele]

I'm getting red signals in the activity, Track Monitor shows green, Dispatch ( now Map ) Window shows green, sigcfg.dat file in OpenRails folder -- all signalnumclearahead are 5 ( there were some 1 and 2, but changing them to 5 did not help )---I'm stuck...any help out there?bandicam 2021-03-03 21-19-49-066.jpg

Does tab clear the signal?

I had no problems running this activity.

I had no problems running this activity.

Me neither except for that specific set of signals before the first meet took place...beginning of activity, after that all signals operated correctly.
I'm using MG Rev91, what version of OR did you use to run the activity?

I just ran it again using the last Stable version 1314328 and signals operate correctly, so now I gotta track down what version/changes brought about the problem...that's for tomorrow. If anybody else finds it first, please post version here so I can reference it when I make a bug report. If the signals worked once, no reason for them to not work now.

I am using rev.90. But i remember running this one on earlier Rev. versions and had no problems.
From the top of my head im thinking that option in Open Rails "Location-linked passing path processing". Does this make any difference?

I ran this a while ago with no problems. I was probably on Rev 89 or 90 then. Currently on 92. When restarting after a save I always switch to manual momentarily, as I sometimes find the signals need clearing. I don't have location linked ticked.

Yep, do that sometimes also, however, in this case no change. So far the unstable versions do not display this fault. Going to download the latest unstable version this morning and give it another go. Perhaps, it would be a good idea to try MG92.

I doubt if location linked path processing has much to do with it...I always have it checked by default...it's a better way to go. If I run into trouble I rework the outdated msts activity to conform to OR standards.

Found it...MG Rev91 has a problem, all the unstable work fine, Rev92 does not have the problem, signals display correctly. I get so used to OR being dependable and robust that sometimes I forget it's still a work in development ... compared to what it was in 2013...we are now light years from those days.
