Just recently became interested in trains, after my daughter was taking one to London. I came across Open Train Times and soon found it fascinating to trace her route. Now today, by chance I heard about Simsig, so I decided to investigate. Will look at this 'step 1' tutorial, then follow on as needed. Looks very interesting.
Great help, a video is worth a thousand words. At least I now know what I'm looking at. Looking forward to understanding more as I go along. I've been trying out Royston and once I realised that trains don't always go into the obvious platforms I got on a lot better.😀
You have to open options F3, go to the messages tab and under Event Settings, choose the event you are interested in and set the colour of the message and whether to play a sound.
Gday Matey, I am a n00b to this, but I did find out that you press F3, then click Control tab, then make sure that 'Right click cancels route' is unchecked or not ticked. Then afterwards if you put the curser over a signal and right click, it should bring up a text box with the signal number at the top. Cheers Regards Beertruk
you don't need a licence to edit the timetable but depending on how you set it up, it might not appear if set to e.g. appear 50% of the time. Also, you have to add the train type and then add a service that uses that type.
I'm not sure what your exact question is but I haven't done a tutorial on timetable editing because it is quite an involved topic. You don't have rolling stock as such in the timetable, you have a complete train such as "Class 317 4 car", which includes the length and acceleration of the whole train. If that was to join another train of the same length to become another service then the other service would need to be a different type e.g. "Class 317 8 car" to make sure it's length has the correct effect on the train running. The easiest way is to edit an existing timetable and you should see how all the parts link together.
I'm watching this after 7 years, and I'm learning a lot, thank you very much.

Luke, been trying to find out how to assign sounds to things like incoming telephone calls and messages, but struggling - any pointers please?

Many thanks Luke :) will source some WAV files
Hi how do you get the signal numbers to pop up when you click the signal.

How do you get the license to enable the use of trains? I tried to program in a CL230 but it won't let be input any data.

@@LukeBriner How do I add the type? I don't have any rolling stock.
