Well looks like i was wrong about the activation distance, if a signal marker is behind the crossing marker or using no signal at all.

As a test, i set the activation distance to 30 meters and activate crossing early to zero. The crossing activated half way down the platform. No sooner as i came to a stand about 10 meters from the crossing, the crossing deactivated. The crossing only remained activated while at a stand, until i was a mere couple of meters away. I could have sworn this did not happen when i first started testing this.

Thanks

Activate Level Crossing Early By
A train moving towards the LevelCr track marker should cause the LevelCr to activate this many seconds before the train arrives at the track marker. I haven't tried to really experiment or decipher the code, but I suspect that OR actually measures against the "leading edge" of the Activation Distance and not the track marker itself. MSTS seems to work off of the track marker.

The code is... confusing, that's for sure. It definitely adds the "minimum activation distance" to the distance computed from "activate level crossing early by" though, so I think you're right.

Thanks for the feedback, James.
