Can't add Trains to Block Sections
I can't add Trains to Blocksections! This not the case in every Rollercoaster Type (I have found this "Glitch" on the Mack Rides Launch Coaster (Copperhead Strike) and on the Intamin Giga Coaster). Does anyone else have this Glitch? If so, have you found a way to fix this Glitch?

How do you mean, add trains to block sections? I don't recall ever doing that.

What I do is add, say, N block stations, divided roughly evenly around the track as I understand that gives the best results.

Then I configure the coaster to have N-1 trains. You can't have N trains coz it'll get stuck, and it won't let you do N+1. With one train per block section, the coaster will get stuck and stay that way, so configure at least 1 less train than block sections.

Open the ride -- boom, every block section, except one, has a train on it.

Trying to find a fix for this. I added a block section to a custom design using copperhead strike, yet I can not configure the coaster for 2 trains. I can only run one on the track. I'm fairly new to the game but I've done this on other coasters and it works just fine. Curious if you ever found a solution for this?

I just tried to test it and built a quick custom Copperhead Strike. I can add trains no problem. I’ve got one right here with 3 trains on it. As Alby said there should always be one more block section than trains. Eg 3 trains needs 4 block sections.
Make sure you're using the launch hold sections at the start of each launch, not just the regular launch sections.

Be sure you change the mode from normal to block sectioned in the coaster controls section.

hey guys here is what a block zone is. Block zones are sections of ride that one train can occupy at a time at the end of a block is a method to stop a train IF the block zone ahead is occupied.

Just remembered that some have a thing where in build and test mode these coasters do not have correct block section operation. Once these coasters are opened they will behave as expected assuming the builder has set things up correctly.
