No one was born a train dispatcher. This list of questions is designed for people who want a quick answer to a common problem. If you don't find an answer on this page, try using the wiki's search function (located to the left).
Why isn't the train number box renumbering?
The sim has two modes of box numbering:
- Automatic: The sim attempts to change the train ID in the number box, but this does not always work, and a train ID is not changed properly, or is "left behind". The ZNP801 system should be used to change train number boxes in such cases. With a bit of practice, the ZNP801 is quite fast.
- Realistic: In this mode, the dispatcher is much busier!
The train's steering number is wrong!
- If a train automatically renumbers, the steering usually is updated automatically. In rare cases, though, it's necessary to change a steering number manually. The most common case is changing from "0" to another number. This must be done manually, and is purely for safety reasons.
- Your neighbour may have made a mistake by entering the wrong steering number for a train.
- If the steering number is wrong, the system will not notice or complain. It is the dispatcher's responsibility to notice these errors.
Steering number changes are done using the ZNP801. For example, enter 14711-24711 to change the steering number of train 4711 from 1 to 2.
What's that buzzing noise?!
When the interlocking system cannot set a route from a signal when in automated mode (SBET) a buzzer will sound. To disable the buzzer, you must first identify which signal is buzzing. There will be a flashing indicator light next to, or near the signal. Once the signal is identified, press SBRT together with the signal's button. Once the situation has been fixed, normal operation can be resumed using SBET.
What's that ringing sound?!
At night, the outside signal brightness is dimmed; during the day, the signal brightness is brighter than at night. This brightness is controlled manually by using the "Day/Night" (Tag/Nacht) buttons together with the Station Button. There is a photosensor that detects the amount of sunlight outside. When it is dark outside and the signals are bright (drivers would be blinded) or if it is daytime and the signals are dim (drivers cannot see signal aspects well) then a bell will ring. To silence the ringer, press the WUT button to acknowledge the situation. Then, press either the Tag or Nacht button together with the Station Button to toggle the signal brightness.
What are the coloured rings around the buttons?
These indicate input feedback. They indicate the outcome of a particular set of inputs.
