hi all,

i'm a novice to Rocrail and i am trying to figure out by myself most of the stuff, but i'm having trouble understanding the following aspect : i have one block on the "left" ("L"), and two blocks on the "right" ("R1" and "R2). R1 and R2 have one route each coming from L1. However, for both R1 and R2, there are two different phisical routes that can a train can follow from L to Rx, due to the presence of several turnouts in between. so, do i have to create, for both R1 and R2, two routes each, which are identical in terms of starting and ending block, but they differ on the commands to give to the turnouts ? and what happens when you (manually or automatically) set a course for a loco/train from L to R1 or R2 ? does Rocrail choose at random ?

Also, i read in the documentation that a route muse connect only adjacent blocks. but, in the route details, i see the option "via blocks..." where you can specify a list of blocks..... so is the documentation not updated, or is this an advanced option, or did i get it wrong ?

thanks,

Fab

thank you very much buddy, that was really helpful and clearly written. i hope to be able to help you back one day. BTW, i am having a hard time understanding how to configure Marklin 24624 double slip switch with Rocrail... i have read the documentation, and it clearly says to define them as crossings, but in this way they are not recognized in the router as switches, so i have to manually insert the routes that that router doesn't discover, right ? i attach the screenshow of an automatic created route, where you can see that T-1-2 (the crossing switch) does not have a command, and as i said it is not detected for alternate paths that are, instead, available.
