Hello
I have a problem with the turntable on the timetable mode. I created path files (access and storage) according to the instructions, but there is an error in the file OpenRailLog

\ROUTES\Prudnik\ACTIVITIES\OPENRAILS\test-turntable.turntable-or : storage area : pool1 : access path : pool-dojazd1 does not start within storage area

Can I count on a hint?

Screenshots paths in Track Viewer:

It would propably help if you include a switch in the approach path.
The path process, which converts the path definition into an actual train path, cannot properly determine the direction of that path if there is no switch included in that path, because both start and end point are on the same track vector.
I have also found that adding a switch in the approach track just before the turntable (with the switch facing the turntable) can help in preventing problems with track definitions and actual engine movements around turntables. I do not know yet why this is so, I am still looking into that.

Thanks but unfortunately the same problem comes up.

I noticed that if the storage path is in extension of the path that has the access path, this error does not occur.

However, in both cases there is a second error:
Information: Pool: (...) \ ROUTES \ Prudnik \ ACTIVITIES \ OPENRAILS \ test-turntable.turntable-or not included due to errors in pool definition

file turntable-or

Have you added the turntable to the turntable.dat file in the route's OpenRail directory?
Also, could you please attach the full logfile so we can check for possible related other warnings or errors?

This turntable is in the file turntables.dat
After renaming to turntable.dat the problem is the same.

In explore mode - turntable works.

This is rather strange, for the error you get on the access path ("no access to storage area") is an error which can only occur for 'normal' pools, not for turntable pools. That also explains why the error did not occur when you selected the track opposite the access track as storage.
Why the system is handling this as normal pool even though it does list it as turntable pool I do not (yet) know. Will look further into this.

Looking again at your pool definition : the '.w' is missing from the worldfile info :

file turntable-or

;
#comment;pool1
#name;pool1
#worldfile;w-005450+014876.w
#uid;13464
#storage;pool1
#access;pool-dojazd1

Because of this, the pool cannot find the turntable.
