Could anyone tell me where I can find the mod/plugin that adds switches to the following rail crossing/diamond;

A train would not be able to make the 'corner' in this type of intersection.  I believe there are no switches for this type of intersection.  You need to add the equivalent of on/off ramps (like on an interstate).

Funny you should ask right now...there aren't any...yet.   ;)  ;)

 

But I've been inspired by this...

I'll see if I can't make it work.  (Might turn out to be too sharp as mentioned though)

There is a texture file on stex that can give the appearance of switches in that configuration. But it still wont actually allow you to use it in UDI.

However, automatas and actual route query shows that trains are able to use "switch" between the 2 lines automatically without needing any modifications.

1.  Which one?  Rivit's?

 

2.  True, but that's a game bug and only works sometimes.

As you can see, I think that's the texture (although not the function) you are looking for.

    Yes! Thats exactly what I was looking for. I had them at one time, then I moved a bunch of files around my plugins folder and before I realized it they were no longer there. Problem was I didn't know exactly which plugin they came from. Now I just need to figure out if those texture conflict with the other mods I have.

     

    To bad about the functionality, none the less thanks for the help.

    I belive that the "double slip" switch is a part on NAM. If it is missing you may have to reinstall NAM. Someone will correct me if I am incorrect.
