    Hello,

    Has anyone worked out on the Log In Log Out scenerio how to begin it?

    It's loads at Spean Bridge and you request the token but signallers says hold your position, i've sat for over 10 minutes and don't get a call back and when you move forward you SPAD.

    Have a look at the 2d Map and see if there is another train coming down the line you have to wait for.

    If you drive pass the sign that says you need the token and you don't have it then that is a Spad

    No idea either. I just tried it. I get a test token... then you're told the path is blocked... and can't get the actual token. Waited for 20 minutes... nothing. Can't make another call to request a token... nothing blocking the line... checked the 2D map and it's clear right the way to the end. I gave up. If you need to wait any longer than that, then tough... life's too short LOL

    Hi, dave.ross, if you follow these instructions in this order you should be able to get started
    1. Press Make Call Radio button to request a token.
    2. Press the CDU Recieve button.
    3. Press the CDU Send button.
    4. Open the map with the 9 key.
    5. Change the second switch ahead of you to lead to Siding 2.
    6. Press Tab to request permission to proceed.
    7. Press the CDU Receive button.
    8. Setup the loco for departure.
    Hope this helps

    That works. Thanks.

    The problem is there's nothing to indicate that you need to press tab, or that you are about to SPAD. There is no danger signal that I can see. Just a speed limit sign for the siding. No red signal, so shunting signal or anything.
