Not quite sure what category to post/ask questions.

Does anyone here have a corrected sigcfg and sigscr for the Norfolk and Western CPL signal system used in Austin Yoder's Pocahontas District as well as his East River for MSTS?

I have looked through both of these files for some kind of mistake and can't find anything. Some of the CPL's does not display an aspect and a couple of aspect's are wrong.

Thanks in advance for any help/input

I don't have the route, but I can take a look at them

Are you using MSTS or Open Rails? I use Open Rails and also have the same issue with the Pocahontas route. That is an older route with older signal scripts.

Hi Kenny & Mark,

This may not be the answer to your query, but if you open the sigcfg.dat file in an editor which shows line numbers, you'll find that lines 544 and 621 have entries 'SignalAspects ( 3' but each is followed by 4 'SignalAspect' entries. Changing the '3' to '4' in each case, and re-saving the file, MIGHT solve the problem.

These anomalies, along with some other non-serious issues, are reported by my utility sigcfg_Checker, available from the library.

Cheers,
Ged

Ged,

No luck on my end. If it helps any, the issue I am getting is with the green "Proceed" signals, and it isn`t every proceed, just some. I will have to pay attention and see which signals are having the problem. I ran the start of an activity and did notice that signals on a mast seemed to work fine but the first signal that was out was on a signal bridge.

Try this: After using Ged's sigcfg_Checker to correct the file ( many of the numbers in the signal aspects are incorrect, and other errors ) create an OpenRails folder in the Pochantas route folder and place copies of the sigcfg and sigscr dat files inside.

Also make sure "SignalNumClearAhead ( 4 )" is "4" or larger.

I am running it in Open Rails. I just about completely reworked the scenery in this route. I still have a lot to do in the "winter" season. Summer looks great. BTW, I was a conductor on the Pokey back in the day. This route is actually quite accurate with the grades.

[Crimsonfloyd]

Ok, signals on the Pokey all seem to be working again!! I missed one the first time through.

Thank you both, Gerry and Ged

Guy's, thank you for your input. Slipperman and Mr.Steele, I changed the numbers that y'all felt might be the problem and it seemed to work. Again, thank you for the quick replies and input.

[R H Steele]

I appreciate your thanks...however, KUDOS to Ged for all the fine utility programs he has resurrected from oblivion ( or created ) and given to the community...if any of you folks have not used the other utilities I strongly recommend them for your tool kits.
