Hello,


On the latest stable release, choose signal graphics show the following:


A red light/stop/danger graphic when the line is blocked
A green light/proceed/clear graphic the main or usual route is used
A red light/stop/danger graphic when an alternative or different route is used.


Trains will proceed through the red graphic as a result.


I've tested this on pak 64, pak 64 GB nd pak 128 britain.

If you play fast forward, you will easily miss it. The choose signal turns green just before the train passes and turns red after the lst car passed it. You can see also the reservation (b)  is not extending beyond the signal until the train is directly next to it. Thus, on forced choose the signal is green only for a shorter time.

The reason is that the way search can take extra time and thus a very fast train would optically jitter. So it slows down like a red signal and then passes at max. of 50 km/h. Without choose, it could just reserved everything at the usual three tiles ahead.

Hi prissi

I've used the slowest tracks without fast forward. The signal doesn't change. I'll try to get a video but that will take time.

I'll double check later today though

Having checked again, it is indeed working as expected.

I was testing using single tile locomotives rather than whole units.

Thank you prissi!
