Will crash when the time reaches 26.

May I ask what version of the customised pakset that you are using with this? I get a crash on loading with the "signalboxes" version that is consistent with a pakset incompatibility.

Oh, right, sorry about that. I had forgotten I had updated the signal box and signals for the pak due to changes you had made.

I am afraid that I cannot reproduce this: I am currently at September 1902, 2:00:00 and I have not had this error.

1902? Supposed to be 1936?

It always crashes at the exact same time, 26:12-26:34 or something. Also, at Whippoorwill station, there is a constant case of things getting stuck because the express line has a way point prior to the station (to get it into the fast line) which recurs frequently; the way point prior to the station seems to make it behave oddly. It seems to pass through the signal though it is occupied and the 'waypoint' is selected in schedule instead of the station, as if it doesn't recognise it has passed over the waypoint.

Apologies: I got the wrong saved game earlier. The problem is ultimately caused in part by an error in your signalling layout: the signal at 578,1399 is bidirectional when it ought to be unidirectional in this layout (or else train no. 1624 will attempt to create a directional reservation until the next reversing point).

However, obviously this should not cause a crash: I am working on a fix for that now.

This does show the disadvantage of cosmetic pieces such as the footbridges, as the fact that this signal was bidirectional was hidden behind the footbridge.

This can be a problem with regular stations too under some circumstance. It might be useful if there was a feature to "hide" or shadow stations like trees.

I think that I have fixed the crash now; do you care to re-test?

It is fixed.

Simutrans really needs a toggle-able functional view which disables all cosmetics.
