There's a conflation of two problems going on here.

First: the signal problem could be solved by using the OpenRails folder approach, I would recommend it...it will not do any harm...put both the sigcfg.dat and sigscr.dat files in the folder.

And the second -- not related:
I agree with Weter, probably the Option/Simulation Tab/Activity Options >> Location-linked passing path processing. I always keep the box checked, and make adjustments to activities, if necessary.


Most Recent OR Manual


I checked the box, and, running only one activity so far, it ran smoothly....this being the Surfliner2 Amtrak 778 run. Being an SP brat, it is a favorite of mine. Thanks for that really important tip.

Please note, that ORTS offers two ways for dealind with passings:
pre-defined in path-files or said automatic feature.
So, developers recommend to choose only one of them at a time.
Together, they might work odd.
Good luck with sim.

Create an OpenRails folder in the root directory of the route and place in this folder copies of both the sigcfg.dat and sigscr.dat files. In the sigcfg.dat file make sure all the "SignalNumClearAhead" entries are 4 or larger. There have been considerable advancements and bug fixes since the last stable version you are running, you would do yourself a favor by upgrading to the latest unstable, testing, or the Monogame version. OR will eventually merge with the Monogame version.

Also follow Steve's advice and upgrade to Ver.17of the Monon.


RH, I'm confused here. I think your instructions are as follows: Go to the ROUTES folder, and create a file named "Open Rails", then place the two DAT files in the OR folder. If so, I can do that.
I'm assuming that this needs to be done for every route individually.

Each individual route in the ROUTES folder needs an OpenRails folder.
