Can Anyone Help fix this game?

[Mr_HaZaRd]

I'm trying to fix the traffic jams that occur in the station of the screenshot, but I really don't understant presignaling... anyone can help me??

If I had OTTD here I would fix it for you, but I don't have it here.
But:
An entrance is only green when at least one exit behind it is green.
Combo is exit and entrance at the same time.

Example of Presignalling:

Code: Select all

--en------ex======en------ex--
     |----ex======en----|
     |----ex======en----|
     |----ex======en----|

  en   = Entrance presignal
  ex   = Exit presignal
  ==   = Station
-- & | = Track

In this layout a train would be prevented from entering the entrance to the station if the station was full, and if the track behind the station would be taken, the trains won't be able to leave the station.

Example in your game (in the bottom):

Code: Select all

You have:

-->-|
-----<--------------------
<>--|
<>--|
<>--|
<>--|
<>--|
<>--|
    ^
--->|-<\
    ^  |
    |  |

Would be better:

--en| 
-----en-------------------
ex--|
ex--|
ex--|
ex--|
ex--|
ex--|
    co
--en|en\
    en |
    |  |

en = entrance
co = combo
ex = exit

Well I hava a better understanding about presignaling now, I has gone better, but not perfect...

Here is a screenshot:

Also I guess presignaling is just for the entrance of the station right? I think on the exit doesn't do any good...

[denny577]

I use it on the exit, because the junction is always cleared then.

I hope this has helped you some more

EDIT: In what game did you make the savegame? (stable or nightly or whatever)
I do have OTTD here.

EDIT2: Forget that, I just made it how I would. (Only at the station in the screenie)
