Support for direction change 'gotoblock'.

[Christian Stüble]

Hi,

the following use case does currently not work: An automatic drive from one holding track to another requirering a change of the direction.

At the moment, 'gotoblock' (e.g., by Drag'n'Drop) does not guarantee that a train finds its destination if a change of the direction is required to reach the destination. I would prefer if this would also work with non-commuter trains (see use case above), but there may be other reasons why this is not possible.

The current behavior of RR is that is does never work if the block, in which a change request is required, has waiting disabled. It sometimes (randomly?) works if waiting is enabled.

The issue has been discussed here: http://forum.rocrail.net/viewtopic.php?t=5257

The given example shows that a train (commuter train in this case) does not change its direction in block B2 if you try to go from B3 to B1.

Hi,

I can confirm that r4575 works now as expected. However, it does only work is the target block is directly connected to the block where the direction change happens. If there is one block in between, it does not work any more. I added a slightly extended example plan: To reproduce, try to go from B3 to B5 by D'n'D.

Best regards,
Chris

you need schedules.
