Longer railway tracks not working properly anymore - only small sections of track can be used by trains


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Since recently (somewhere during the last month), there is an issue with train tracks. They seem to now be interrupted every 1-2nm by road crossings, bridges, sharp corners, etc., and trains can only drive in these short sections. If you place a train waypoint along a longer section of tracks, the train will fail to spawn. This issue is also apparent in the mission editor, train waypoints that could be placed a month ago will now not snap to the track anymore if they go past an intersection. 

Attached is a mission showing the waypoint snapping behaviour in the ME between train waypoints that are not working anymore, and short sections of train tracks that are still working.

As a comparison a screenshot from a train target that we have successfully used in the last months.

This is still an issue in 2024, Normandy 2.0 map

I haven't noticed that in Normandy 2, it was fixed before the map upgrade. Might be a new bug again. But we have very long train paths working, do you have an example where it happens

I've loaded an empty Normandy map and created a train from East Paris, Choisy-Le-Roi, east (across river) train station and wanted the train to go to train station north of Le Perchay (NW of Paris). I did a single way-point and it turned out to be a direct line. Route length calculated was 31nm, with ~3h duration at 20 km/h.

It's not exactly a long route, but I thought it was not an issue with length, but with train-lines being connected or not or something along these lines.

Can share the mission file if needed.
