Start an activity with double traction and a turntable (activity, not explore mode!).


Drive with two steam locomotives in doubletraction on the turntable (player is first locomotive). Decouple the second locomotive and leave it on the turntable.


Turn the turntable some degrees. Then change to manual mode and enter the second locomotive (PLAYER1) by using ALT + F9 train list.


Use outside view (e.g cam # 2) -> the problem is now already seen: The locomotion is not aligned to the turntable. Further turning of the turntable crashes OR now.

You are asking a bit much to OR :) : changing player train while the locomotive is in an intermediate state in the turntable... Does the player train change work correctly if you do it before starting turntable rotation? Anyhow I will see what can be done, maybe blocking the player change in this case will be the simpler solution.

Admittedly, an extravagant problem :-) But I wasn't looked for it in especially. It even happend when testing an activity.

Yes!

IMO the right solution.

Fixed in x.3752. A train in the Train List Window can't be selected when it is on a turntable that is not aligned with external tracks.

Thanks for fixing it that fast and showing useful message "Train in turntable not aligned to a track can't be selected".

Unfortunately the bug is happen again after changing twice the trains again and the turntable is then not in an aligned position.

Do the following:
1. Decouple and leave PLAYER1 at the turntable
2. Move Turntbale to a not aligned position
3. Try to change from PLAYER to PLAYER1 -> Message appears "Train in turntable not aligned to a track can't be selected"
4. Move Turntable to an aligned position
5. Change to train PLAYER1 -> successful changing
6. Move turntable to not aligned position
7. Change to PLAYER
8. Change to PLAYER1
9. locomotive and turntable are not aligned, OR will crash

This even less likely case should be solved by inhibiting player switching when the existing (not the new in this case) player is on a non-aligned turntable.

Fixed in x.3753. Operation is inhibited and a warning message is displayed.
