Problem vith activate lines in track

[Leslie]

In the turnout there is 3 kind of line:

1: Sometimes activated,

2: Sometimes not activated,

3: Never commanded.

If a vehicle enters the turnout, settings are autochange so activates enter lines, this OK.

If inner lines also activated then vehicle can drive thru turnout, this also OK.

But if the end there is a 3th kind of line, then vehicle sometimes hangs up at exit. While this lines never commanded so they are always activated (as documentation says). But it is not true, vehicles stops sometimes.

How to solve this? Activate these lines is not solution because of possible backward driving.

Road tracks have no switches. They may branch at crossings, but without a switch mechanism. The road doesn't determine where the car goes. The car does (with an assigned target point).

Rail tracks have switch points. And a switch point guides the train by activating one possible track and deactivating all others.

Ergo, roads and rails act differently. Maybe this is what leads to your confusion?

There is no third kind of track. It is either active or not active.

There is some case, I pictured one of that:

Looks like the short track piece under the red circle is inactive. That will stop any car.
(Unfortunately, it's impossible to tell from the screenshot. All required data is missing and the picture tells nothing useful.)

"never activated lines, but it works" - are you sure about that?

The original model has all tracks active.

Hello @Leslie,

I can't see a problem within your picture above. 

with the present demo   No problem.mbp  your problem cannot be reproduced.

Many greetings

"the short track piece under the red circle is inactive."

This is a turnout. Some tracks active, others inactive. But 95% of cases vehicle drive thru without problems.

I think I catch the problem: vehicle has auto turnout burst. It seems it works all time when track starts a never commanded piece. Auto burst initializes all that kind then all OK.

That case not exists enter piece, and turnout at other position. Vehicle enters, bursts turnout - and this case I think it not initializes other tracks. This may be the reason of malfunction. @Neo is this true?

Beginning with version 7 of the 3D-Train Studio, road turnouts don't have inactive tracks, unless you changed them!

Whatever you're trying to say, is lost in translation, Leslie.

Same here:

I have a hard time guessing what you're trying to say.

You may want to try using a translation program.

I changed this road, created a turnout.

All tracks are inactive at begin, except light red. I uploaded layout at "Anlagen" you can check if you want.

And in doing so, you created a problem where you wanted to solve another ...

[Leslie]

This must be. Routes with track contact here are not cost-efficiently.

But I think I figured out error: when vehicle enters then changes turnout and uses burst at same time. This causes remove route below itself. This is not problem at continuous line but it is not that.

Solution: must separate enter line to 2 pieces and swich only 2nd.

I don't understand "burst" in this context. 

[Leslie]

Change turnout to direction from which vehicle enters.

This solved the problem, currently working normal.
