This is exactly the problem with looping timetables though: real life timetables don't work like this. Almost always, rolling stock diagrams stretch multiple days. Plus, a midnight start is quite inconvenient (for German timetables at least), since the railway's "operational day" tends to start and end at around 0300 hours.
I agree, I was able to let it start at midnight because I had only one passenger service that was active at midnight, I was able to split it up so it starts at Langenprozelten at midnight and ends at Langenprozelten at 23:59:45, but this is not ideal. Also, the portals enable me to let the correct formation "magically" spawn in at a convenient time so it finishes at its start location, as opposed to RL operations. I agree that this is not ideal, but if you want the timetable looping,these are the boundaries that you have to work with until DTG decides that multi-day support is worth developing.
Just remember if go into a second day services start 24:00+ times must be entered, I had freight on my timetable not arriving until 2am , so I made my first timetable 36hrs for overlap allowance
Hiya quick question. I've run into this issue today whilst creating a new TT. I've also removed the DLC input from the layer (kept it in the custom formation) and the TT is simming fine. However a few people advised me it will cause issues in the long run. Did you encounter any issues when you cooked the TT and tested it? Thanks.
If you build a timetable with DLC's from other routes, it must be referenced in the RVD's being used, for example GWR hst on the ECML, if you are creating your own formations, each item must have the appropriate DLCs referenced in the RVDs and formations. I hope that helps!
I tried using the 150 and 802, they both simulate fine in the base layer but if I put them in a new layer they both don't appear in the simulation. I've also swapped with the GWR HST on the Riviera Line. Same issue comes up. Someone else offered to check and they said they have encountered the same issue (when using the HST). I made a 2018 Riviera Line TT last month and oddly that still sims without an issue (with DLC correctly referred to in the layer). I cannot see a single difference between the HST in this fresh timetable and the HST layer in my last timetable. Could it be a bug?
