A message similar the the following error message is appearing for all platforms passed in a particular activity:

Warning: Platform Moor Park Platform 1 Northbound Main is incomplete and will not show in full in the Timetable Tab of the Map Window

This is the first time I have seen such a message so I assume that it has only recently started to show. Can anyone explain the meaning of this?

Hello, David.
Chris Jakeman have introduced new features of dispatcher window. Maybe that was reason...
At least, "timetable tab" is more likely about it.
New features are still tuned-up.
See here.

As documented in the Manual, the Dispatch Window (Ctrl+9) has been renamed as the Map Window and now contains 2 tabs - Dispatch and Timetable.

Dispatch is, I hope, unchanged. Timetable is new. The map it shows includes the position of any platforms (in blue to match the F4 window). If the PlatformItem in the *.tdb file is incomplete, then the platform cannot be drawn and its label may be missing too.

There has been an update today making the algorithm more tolerant so this warning about "Moor Park Platform 1 Northbound Main" may disappear.

Hope that helps.

Chris, I get this when running and activity under "U2020.10.06-1936". All platforms covered by the activity have a similar entry.
