Trains stuck when reversing

[heller]

I've got this major problem with reversing trains.



When they wait for a clear route they reverse. Then when route ahead is clear they are still facing backwards and i have to manually turn them around.

How can i get them not to reverse or to change direction when route is clear?

First, open "Console". It can be opened by going to the Question Mark then clicking "Toggle Console".

Then, enter this command

Code: Select all

setting pf.wait_for_pbs_path 255

I dont know how to post the image as forum-style.

And that command dont help. Tried value 255 and still they keep giving traffic while waiting to wrong direction.

If train is reversing it means that it waited to long and that means that route is wrong. Normally trains wait really long before they reverse. If they do then you need to focus on tracks/train and fix it... Making time longer to wait is not good idea.

But it cant be about bad route.

In that picture that train was waiting about 1-2sec and then turned around and is "waiting for route" and it stays reversed at least 10min..

Whan can i do?

edit: actually "set wait_oneway_signal 250" fixed my issue.
