Hi crowd !

This may be a bug. Haven't found how to reproduce it solidly. I'm on 111 and pak128 and I see some trains in my network sometimes not reserving the full block ahead, but only tile-wise. That has occurred with trains from different lines, if I am not mistaken. Obviously, this leads to stuck situations.

Also, a choose signal does not behave well : it sent a train to a track that was still occupied by a train leaving station. At the moment I do not know whether that was a following fault of a train not blocking ahead but only the tiles it's driving on as I described above.

Please note that I observed this behaviour only when running on increased speed ( key "w" ).

On a side note : I tried to upload save and screenshot to http://files.simutrans-germany.com/ but it does not list mine nor do I see a error messages why they would not have passed. So you'll find the saves behind the links above the graphics below here pointing to my own website where I put them for error analysis.

See screenshot (plus the save)


and the bad choose signal (plus the save).


I already tried re-planting the choose signal, but that did not prevent this situation from reoccurring.

The save games I have put to my personal web server. See the links above the respective pictures showing the paused situation in which I saved.

Run this for years. Apart from the initial error, which already happend, nothing bad appeared form me.

Thanks anyway, Prissi. I feared that with the error having already occurred and now seeing the fallout, there may be nothing to base bug analysis on. I played further on that game yesterday, too, and didn't encounter that anymore either.  ???
