I admit it's easier than the original maglevs, but still not so easy, and also you cannot easily see which direction the trains are moving in.

may i ask why are trains running on roads? why is the grass so nuclear green, why the bridges are still maglevish? I will surely get crazy playing in that madness world!!!

Y'know, you may have found an answer why BobXP is so disagreeable....

That happens with any symmetrical train, you should be able to tell from the direction of the signals anyway.

Because I use my MagRoads set.

In the first two screenshots I was playing a game in Toyland... that is my ToylandSet.

Because I haven't finished my MagRoads set yet.

See, by redesigning your silly little junctions, you can work around the pathfinding problems, no need to have a tantrum and demand unreasonable things when you have no right to.

well bob, i know you chose to use roads for maglevs!, i cannot simply understand why!!
those roads were designed for road vehicles to have carriages right?, so it just doesn't seem right to make them for the fastest vehicles ingame.

not trying to be offensive though, all of us here seem to disagree in mostly everything when talking about preferences.

yes, but see 15.png on the first page, THAT is stupid.

That, I believe, is a matter of the train in question wanting to go north/north-east more than due east. For long runs (don't ask me quite how long), the trains often go:
"OK I want to go $DIRECTION."
"I have choices $CHOICE[0], $CHOICE[1], ..."
"$CHOICE[k] is closest to $DIRECTION."
"I'll take $CHOICE[k]."
Even if some other $CHOICE is the "correct" one.

o_o

So if I set a waypoint PAST the junction then it would take the correct route?

i suggest placing waypoints at the yellow circles

never mind that

Take 2 - At least try putting two way signals there.

Wasn't that easy?

Why in all blue hell would I want two-way signals?

How about you try being civil, instead of responding to usefull suggestions with stupid comments.

And Bob, what have you done with the windows of the stations?????

Oh, you mean the semitransparent bit? I don't know, sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn't. Confuses me.

That's my standard fix for trains that don't pathfind correctly. It doesn't have to be particularly close, but put it as close as possible, within reason.
