Trains direction paths 0.17

Post by FlyHigh »

I usually do top&tail trains because it feel more real. However my infrastructure is redundant. For some odd reason it seems my trains prefer to go and do gian loops around the map then to simply reverse direction and head back the way they were design to do. Is this a feature of .17? Any guesses on how to work around this behaviour? :?:

Are you sure your signalling is OK ? Would you share the map you have issues with ?

Have you checked the Wiki page on trains about pathfinding? Train stops have a big path penalty, so they will drive very far in order to avoid driving through another train's empty station. Could that explain it?

Durp, I was missing a twin signal at the exit of the station. Nevermind.
New question, can this thread be deleted? :lol:
