Metro simulator forums

In the RijndamRail activity for Rijndam 2022 (light version) I was riding a Rijndam Molenwijk - Rijndam Buitenvelden service and back. I departed at the same time than a line M1 metro to Panbos, however, when I got back to Rijndam Molenwijk, there were no metros arriving and departing at line M1.
I then went to investigate, and there was a traffic jam between Arendstraat and Nobelplein.

@Sjoerd, do you know what happened and how can I solve the problem?

Are those heading to the city center or heading to Panbos?

I personally sometimes encountered an issue where AI trains would sometimes not properly switch over to ZUB and instead sit in front of what looked to them like a red ATB signal, perhaps this also works the other way around. Probably related to the Sim forgetting about some things on weaker computers with many trains in the network.

Manually driving the trains for a short bit then getting them into AI again fixed the issue for me and added some realistic feel of possible technical problems you might have on a Metro network and disruptions caused through it. I mean, it wasn't what I expected but I had some fun that day being in the role of the traffic manager trying to get service going again


Greets, Mika

Well, the CVL screenshot shows that the train 105 is headed for Panbos (the train code ends with B) and the switches are set for that path, but apparently it doesn't depart. 103 and 104 however are inbound but can't go further than the switches as 105 and its path are blocking the route.

That's easily fixed.

-> Open the activity.
-> Go to line 1387. You will find this:

<consist start="NBP1">
<train pack="RET" file="5500.xml" number="5513">
<cab id="0" enabled="true" ai="105"/>
</train>
<train pack="RET" file="5500.xml" number="5514"/>
</consist>

-> Change it to:

<consist start="NBP2">
<train pack="RET" file="5500.xml" number="5513">
<cab id="0" enabled="true" ai="105"/>
</train>
<train pack="RET" file="5500.xml" number="5514"/>
</consist>

-> Save.

Thanks Sjoerd. I'll try that fix.

Thew new model, well underway...

Nice. Can't wait to see the final version.

Off-topic: as you know, the next Eurovision song contest will be hosted at Netherlands... And Metro simulator is mainly based in Rotterdam, which is located in that country. Imagine the event will take place at Simvliet or Rijndam in 2020. What kind of special services would exist?
