Circular tracks

[Thomas Himmelstrup]

Does anyone have experience with making circular tracks as explained in the zusi documentation "wie baue ich was"?

I am running 4 trains on a circular track with 8 blocks. All trains start at the same time. They are inserted in individual blocks, that is: block with train 1 - free block - block with train 2 - free block - ... and so on.

Sometimes it works for long time. Sometimes it crashes the fahrsimulator... it just freeze, like in a neverending loop.

Have anyone tried anything like this?

Howdie!

I'm not the master of trackbuilding and have no experience with timetable-editing for special tracks yet. But as I know You have to build up the timetables for these tracks with windows notepad when You want to drive the trains by yourself. For autopilot-tracks with decorative purposes there is a trick that should be explained by someone else. Carsten himself developed it for his barges on the Mittellandkanal (route Braunschweig-Wolfsburg)

@Thomas: Could you post a screenshot of the "Streckenstruktur" of your circle and one .zug-file, please?

Thank you. I will send it to Carsten.Hoelscher@zusi.de. Posting an image here, seems to require it to be located on the web.

great route. The problem were the "trains" marked as "Reisezug", the programm hangs when they search for their platforms in the endless loop.
I will fix that bug. Workaround: Uncheck the "Reisezug-Checkbox"
