	Dear SignalSoft team, I'm the happy owner of a <strong>Zentrallstellwerke Köln</strong> license. However, once installed on my new laptop, it keeps saying that it is Unable to contact license server.
</p>

<p>
	I see that <a href="http://licensing.signalsimulation.com/verify.php?" rel="external nofollow">http://licensing.signalsimulation.com/verify.php?</a> is called with name, email, key and id arguments. If I run that in Chrome, I get &lt;License&gt;&lt;Permission value="Allow" /&gt;&lt;/License&gt;, so I suppose my license is OK.
</p>

<p>
	Do you know whether KK needs specific ports to be opened? Or maybe some firewall permissions?
</p>

<p>
	Thanks a lot,
</p>

<p>
	-Yannick.

	Hi - hoping for some help to get this timetable underway.  
</p>

<p>
	I start at 05.00 12th July.  On starting there are 2 trains parked in KK platforms - they have come from KKD (parking) and are heading back towards KOPL and KD at 05.10 - I 2214 and I 2445.  I wait for the 'Train Ready' signal and set the routes up towards 210 and 220 - the routes set OK and greens come.   But the trains never move.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I see in the Wiki that A230 and A220 are in the ZNP offering list - so i try that - offers accepted - route set - but still no move.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Help appreciated as this is my first go with Koln.
</p>

	Hi
</p>

<p>
	i just got Stellwerk Simulator vol1 and having installed each of the four locations that come on the cd - Koeln however doesnt work - clicking on the shortcut to run it brings up hte message that it cannot be run on windows
</p>

<p>

<p>
	Running Timetable for 9 July 2001, at 2224hrs train 1-76354 has gone to the Betriebsbahnhof but has gone onto Track 73 instead of its booked Track 76. Now the driver calls every two minutes asking how to get from Track 73 to Track 76. <em> </em>I assume he eventually wants to go to Bbf R5 to stable his train so I have tried to amend the movement order from Track 76 to Bbf R5 but it will not change and the driver keeps calling in. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	How do I amend movement orders within the Bbf as they seem more complicated than ordinary movement orders?
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>

<p>
	Regards,

	On the Hohenzollernbrücke there seems to be the possibility to change the direction of the track.<br><br>
	I directed a delayed ICE wendezug from Deutz into track 7 at Köln Hbf (I know, that was a bad idea). But there seemed to be the possibilty to change the track direction on the Hohenzollernbrücke, so I thought the train should be able to use track 230 to return to Deutz.<br><br>
	However, I can not get the white arrow at track 230 to change. (I am using the direction change button on the "Group Buttons" window).<br><br>
	Are the direction change possible at all on the Hohenzollernbrücke?

<p>Running timetable 07/07/2001, the time is 1925, train 2-76408 is offered to the Bbf and accepted on Track 005, ultimate destination being the Schlundgleis.. The train departs from Cologne Hbf and stops at red signal 005.</p>
<p>Signal 005 does not clear.</p>
<p>I try to edit the movement instructions to re-enter Schlundgleis but Schlundgleis will not illuminate as an option to select.</p>
<p>I try to edit the movement instructions to send 76408 to Bbf R5 or R3 but this doesn't work either. </p>
<p>I am left with 76408 fouling routes from Track 5 and Track 6.</p>
<p>Any help would be most welcome, and I have a saved sim file if that would be of assistance.</p>

<p>Partly self inflicted as I get to grips with the simulation but a queue of trains on the bridge coming in from Koln-Deutz has resulted in Train Descriptions being lost on my first real berth (e.g. 240).</p>
<p>Description is there is the preceding berth but is lost when the train steps forward.</p>
<p>Is this a known issue?</p>
<p>I have a saved file if that helps at all.</p>

<p>While I can understand the functionality to step in and set routes in the Neighbouring Areas if the AI Signalmen gets stitched up it does seem odd to be called for a Track Possession in an area I am not controlling.</p>
<p>For example I got asked to grant a possession on Track 660 with reference being made to Signal 266. I can find Track 660 but can't see any Signal Numbers on the Generic Panel View.</p>
<p>Might it not be better to restrict these requests to areas under control of the main panel and/or the link track to a neighbour? </p>

<p>Do these keyboard short cuts exist in reality or are they just added to make the simulation easier to operate?</p>
<p>While I've used them successfully with my keyboard I haven't been able to replicate them by pressing the buttons on the keyboard entry window on the simulation itself.</p>
<p>I have been able to use the keyboard entry window to set and clear cover signals as well as set routes to them but not both at the same time as per the steps below.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;"><em>or even faster, for the same examples as given above:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>Set 014 to Stop, set route from 315 to 014 : enter <b>315014</b> + [arrow down] + [arrow left] + [ENTER]</em></li>

<p>I've noted the manual recommends clearing the cover signals immediately before setting the route from the Platform Exit signal.</p>
<p>Also noted that if you clear the cover signals and then delay clearing the Platform Exit signal that the train will not move until the latter signal is cleared.</p>
<p>On this basis is there any reason not to clear the cover signal once a train has come to a stand in the section of Platform you have assigned it?</p>
<p>What happens in real life? This might be a rhetorical question as the answer might be as per manual.</p>

<p>Running Zentralstellwerk Koln Hbf (the original version, not the 2012 version) with timetable dated 07 July 2001 and a time of 1050hrs, I have noticed that two trains  I sent to the Betriebsbahnhof (2-76289 and 1-11496) have not disappeared despite going onto their correctly allocated tracks in the yard. They still show in the 'Train Overview' window and are also present in the 'Dark Territory' window. Has anyone eles noticed this, is it a bug?</p>
<p>A few minutes later at 1100hrs I have train 1-703 ready to go to the Bbf. It is booked onto track Bbf 72 but train 2-76289 is already there as it has not disappeared after being sent to the Bbf at 1029hrs. When I offer train</p>
<p>1-703 to the Bbf supervisor he accepts it via track 357, but it is not possible to get from track 357 to track Bbf 72. Has anyone else had the Bbf supervisor accept trains via a track from where it is not possible to get to the booked stabling track?</p>

<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I've had this problem for a while now. I've played from 00:00 (signalbox time) to 01:00 without any problems. Suddenly I got a phone from an angry train driver, telling me he has been standing at signal 173 for 8 minutes now. I set the route from 173 to 163, hoping it was just a one-off. Then he calls me again, telling me he's been waiting at signal 163 for 5 minutes. </p>

<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/AzacmXa.png" alt="AzacmXa.png"></p>
<p>I have no idea what's wrong. I've tried to deactivate and activate the fleeting several times now, but it doesn't work. This have happened before, and then I had to restart the simulator. Now it happened again, and I don't really want to restart the simulator every hour. </p>
<p>Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Is there something I have forgot to do?</p>

<p>I have been running Koln Hbf and Koln Hbf 2012 for some time but have only just started to experiment with various keyboard commands, having previously preferred to use the panel buttons to set routes and operate the cover signals.</p>
<p>I can set routes from signal to signal using the keyboard without any problem, but despite following the Wiki instructions to the letter the cover signal keyboard commands will not work for me in either sim.</p>
<p>Have any other users experienced similar issues? Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Dear SignalSoft team,</p>
<p>My new PC runs Windows 8.1 ; I've tried setting up my licensed version of Köln Hbf (the only setup files I have here are v.2.3.0.44, and I was hoping that the Update tool would upgrade me to a more recent version), but the application just does not start: when I double click on the app icon, I immediately get the "Zentrallstellwerk Köln Hbf stopped working" error in Windows. I have tried running the application under various compatibility modes (such as Windows 7 and Windows XP SP3), to no avail.</p>
<p>Am I the only one with such an issue?</p>
<p>Thanks - Yannick.</p>

<p>Hello, all,</p>
<p>I've just updated to v.2.3.0.60 (Sept. 15th 2011) of Zentralstellwerk Köln Hbf., and there seems to be a bug I haven't noticed on the previous version.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Steps to repro:</span> Start a new simulation any time; create a route from signal P123 to track 141 in Hansaring.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Expected result:</span> The route is created and signal P123 opens to <strong>Hp Clear + Vr Caution</strong>.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Actual result:</span> The route is created and signal P123 flashes between <strong>Hp Danger</strong> and <strong>Hp Clear + Vr Caution</strong>. A train on track 123 won't proceed.</p>
<p>Or is it just me? Or is it something I don't quite clearly understand in German signals? <img src="https://forum-v4.signalsoft.info/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="https://forum-v4.signalsoft.info/uploads/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20"></p>

<p>You will need Cologne version 2.3.0.20 (or newer) in order to use the new multiplayer system. The other simulations (Post T Amsterdam, Bonn Hbf, Andernach, etc.) will continue to use Post T MultiPlayer version 2 until new plugins are made available that are compatible with version 3. This means that Post T MultiPlayer 3 installs to a separate directory, so version 2 is not affected.</p>
<p>There are some known issues that we will address later:</p>

<li>The S-Bahn signal automation lights do not yet work<br>

<li>The special end buttons near BBF may not work exactly as expected.<br>
