Train Switches Guide?

[Azrael]

Is there a guide on how to build more complicated train switches?

I'm playing Chapter 3 Mission 3 now, where you basically have to build up a whole train network for Southwest Germany and they got some prebuilt stations and tracks there, including complicated switches, where a train, if I'd tell it to do it, could switch from a track #4 to a track #1, but also onto track #2 and track #3.

A single huge, more complicated looking cross.

I tried to build it myself, but of cause I encounter errors loke "Construction not possible" and such.

If I look it up in Wikipedia, these are called, if I identify them correctly, double switches.

So basically, how do I build these monstrous things ingame?

OK , double slip switches then .

With four parallel lines , make a fifth line that crosses , and if you hover over the 2nd and 3rd lines at the crossing point the game should allow the switch to become a double slip switch .
For a full cross the lines have to be on a standard slope (make the track completely flat is the easiest) and they have to start at the same place on tracks 1 & 4 and end at the same place on 4 & 1

Ok I found it out by myself now, building them parallel is rather obvious from the shown examples in that mission, but actually building the switches themselves was not explained.

So, rather by coincidence, when I looked at the prebuilt examples closer, I went with my cursor over one of them and then I saw, that the switches themselves where selectable and there you got the option to transform them into double slip switches.

This was never explained anywhere in the game, there was no tutorial for this.

This feature is nice to know but you have to find it out first :D
