Trains flipping out of control
Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2009 11:31 am
Hi,
forgive if this has been asked before, but I've noticed on several occasions that several trains start to go wild.
On expansive networks, several trains get confused as to which route to take and instead of going from A --> B, they end up on a line between F --> G and start to flip around. They just can't get back and the only way to resolve it is to scrap the train and set it up again. Problem is, not two trips later the train is back on the wrong track.
This is killing my income: those trains only cost money since they never reach their destination, and all other traffic on the line segment is being delayed. In a recent game it got to a point where made a net loss of up to half a million on several trains, reducing my money pile by 2 million in about 2 years time.
In the meantime, the AI is preying on me since now I'm an easy target for take overs. It's just killing my game fun!
Is there a way to avoid having trains dabble back and forth on a piece of track in the middle of nowhere (patch, trick, hack) ???
Thanks!
