I am using Open Rails to run my copy of SimTrain.ch Glacier Express. Everything seems to be working OK with 1676 using the Manual setting to change the signals as necessary. But at one point in the activity the train goes into a loop where the is already another train coming in the opposite direction in the same side of the loop. Is it possible to change the track points as I approach this loop so that I can pass the other train.

Using Manual mode, you should be able to use the usual key press for changing the Switch ahead (if there isn´t possibly a bug preventing this now - for me this worked fine on other routes).

Unfortunately neither using G or the mouse will change the point (switch)

Then that´s a case for the ORdev´s to go into. Sorry I couldn´t help any more...

You have to stop your train and then press Ctrl+M to change from Normal to Manual mode.

Hope that helps,

The File sigscr.dat of the Glacierexpress has an error, so that many of the mainsignals can't open perhaps it fix your problem:

SCRIPT SetFB1
extern float block_state ();
extern float route_set ();
extern float next_sig_lr ();
extern float def_draw_state ();
extern float state;
extern float draw_state;
extern float enabled;
float next_state;
float this_state;
float tmp_state;

state = SIGASP_CLEAR_2;

the same problem in the scripts: SCRIPT SetFB2, SCRIPT SetFB3
In MSTS the files has worked without this Word extern,
but it is a real bug !!!!
The corrected file works again in MSTS

Thanks for that information. I have changed the sigscr.dat file for Glacier Express but now the train coming in the other direction is much further into the loop and stopped but I still cannot seem to change the points to take the other side of the loop.
