When I load into a map on Freeroam mode (any map, tested both TSW3 and TSW4 routes) I can spawn and drive trains, but all signals are red, and it fails me with a SPAD if I go past one. This doesn't seem like it's supposed to be how the mode should work. Am I missing something?
once you have spawned your train - open the 9 key map. Click on your train and then set a path - the dispatcher will clear you a path and the signals will change. - Same process should you spawn your train on foot in a timetable session - just the dispatcher will clear your path amongst the other traffic and while you may end up waiting for green - it will come.
