- GPA functions on the separate Zs3v with oppression from the 1000 Hz message from 80 km/h at the distant signal and a separate GPA module
- Group blocking signals guide the distant signal status from the following main signal

Version 9.5:

The signals contained in the package are new Train Simulator 2017 signals.
You have to endable the signals in editor.
Select provider Schuster and switch product SignalTeam-KS on.

The content was completely build new for a realistic german H/V signal system.
Many months of work put in signal system to make it work most realistic.

There are many options to set in a option file within. This option file named "DEs KS Option.lua".
Look at this, to see how to use these special options to change the behavior of signals.
Here's the path name: "...Assets\Schuster\SignalTeam\RailNetwork\signals\German KS"

To set a track as a yard entry, check the field in the signal flyout named "limited to yellow".
This is possible at all main signals. If possible, the signal show "Sh1" in this case.

If a common signal is next to a shunt signal, check the field "approach control"
at the link from shunt signal to this common signal.
Only if common signal is not at stop, shunt signal will be clear.
It's also necessary to check "approach control" for signals in opposite direction,
who have links to this common signal because the occupancy is deactivated then

A most wanted feature is realised in this signal system...
You can set shunt signals and distant signals between link 0 and link 1+ from main signals.
Use the demo route (within this packet) to check out this new feature!

Another new feature are some trigger who modify the behavior of signals in scenario.
These trigger named like "ST KS_Hp0-Trigger" are all set only in scenario!
Look first at the pictures in the german manual to set them properly.
With those triggers you shape a scenario special.


This is the first Version 7.0 of KS-Signals.

My thanks go to the Rail Sim-user "4711", for the work of the 3D models.
I also thank "StS", also from the German forum for the implementation,
the extensive testing and the creation of the scenarios of the test track.
All changes to the scripts I've ("Schuster") done.

The package is available as freeware on www.Rail-Sim.de
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
licence agreement
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The package is available as freeware on:
 www.Rail-Sim.de
and not on other platforms without my permission.
The signals may be used only at freeware routes.
The signals may not be distributed as a part of routes with their installation
but install it separate from the original package.

Use on Payware routes is not allowed and requires prior licensing by me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry but a extensive doku only exists in german,
but there are a lot of pictures which explain a lot.
You can find the file "Deutsche_KS-Signale_ST_V7.0.pdf" within the package.

Have fun with the new German KS-Signals wishes

==============================================
The following signals are included in the package:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some different post version:

1GM		straight middle hight
1GV		straigth variable hight
2LHK	left side high platform short extend
2LHL		left side high platform long extend
2LTK		left side low platform short extend
2LTL		left side low platform long extend
2RHK	righ tside high platform short extend
2RHL	right side	high platform long extend
2RTK		right side low platform short extend
2RTL		right side low platform long extend

gantry	to use at gantrys

Every post who begins with "2" has a double post. The track nearest of both will hide automatically.
If you like the other post, then put this char ' in the signal-flyout id field.

Every signal has all possible indicators already added.
Dist signals: Zs3v light, Zs3v plate
Main signals: Zs3 light, Zs3 plate
Main-Dist signals: Zs3 light, Zs3 plate, Zs3v light, Zs3v plate
Also the indicators will be hide if they don't need after reload the route.
There are all possible indicators build within the signal, on every signal object.

==============================================

Triggers
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


ST KS_Opt-Trigger Route
ST KS_Opt-Trigger Scenario
ST KS_Opt-Trigger Single

 - new Opt-Trigger to set options who are also set in option file different in a
   route or scenario for all signals or a signalsystem or a single signal
   To use these triggers, you have to take a look at the german manual, please. ;)

ST KS_Hp0 Trigger

- this trigger set a main signal to Hp0 although the route is clar to stop the train
  for ever or a few seconds
- set this trigger directly after link 0 from main signal before all link 1+
- in the left Id-Field from signal-flyout possible write a number like:
   "0" for all trains who blocked with Hp0 aspect
   "1" for the first train  who blocked with Hp0 aspect
   "2,3" for the second and third train who blocked with Hp0 aspect
- in the rigth Id-field from signal-flyout possible write a value of seconds
  like "40" after the Hp0 aspect is switched to Hp1 or Hp2 if possible
- example: "2" "20" -> stop the second train for 20 seconds
  (the time begins to run when the train stops)
- special new application:
  - manually main or distant signal bug possible (ID-field: "H0000" or "H0010V0011") check it out!
  - switch yard entries on or off (ID-field: "A2" or "A2,3" or "A-8")
  - switch follow main signal on or off (ID-field: "G0" or "G1" or "G1,2")
  - after passing a main signal backwards set this trigger with ID-field: "R" to
    make this signal clear if possible

ST KS_Hp0 Trigger 1T Scenario

- switch anim state with link 1, perhaps from a AI-Train

ST KS_Hp0 Trigger X

- set this trigger before link 0 to make a main signal void (white cross)

ST KS_HpX Trigger Route

- this trigger deactivate a main signal and set the marker light on
- set this trigger prior the main signal in drive direction
- Sometimes a main signal is set to deactivated if the block range is to short

ST KS_VrX Trigger Route

- this trigger deactivate a distand head on a main signal, if you set the link number
  in the id field from it
- this trigger deactivate the marker light from a distand head on a main signal,
  if you set an "R" and the link number in the id field from it
- set this trigger prior the main signal in drive direction
- Sometimes a distant head is set to deactivated if no main signal after

- deactivate the marker light from a distand signal with "R"
- deactivate the complete distant signal and let the marker light on with "X"
- the char "H" let show a higher number on Zs3v if the number at Zs3 is lower

Look for the german manual at page 40 for more informations.

ST KS_Sh1-Trigger Scenario

- set this trigger after link 0 from main signal and also after junctions
  but before all link 1+
- in the left Id-Field from signal-flyout possible write a number like:
   "0" for all trains who passed signal with Sh1 aspect
   "1" for the first train  who passed signal with Sh1 aspect
   "2,3" for the second and third train who passed signal with Sh1 aspect

ST KS_Zs1-Trigger Scenario

- set this trigger after link 0 from main signal and also after junctions
  but before all link 1+
- in the left Id-Field from signal-flyout possible write a number like:
   "0" for all trains who passed signal with Zs1 aspect
   "1" for the first train  who passed signal with Zs1 aspect
   "2,3" for the second and third train who passed signal with Zs1 aspect

ST KS_Zs3-Trigger

- this trigger possilbe change a speed limit entry for one or all links
- set this trigger after link 0 from main signal and also after junctions
  but before every link 1+
- you can input every value of speed limit like "60" or "120" or "30"
- after a comma you can input a link as a number on with the speed limit must be changed
- example: "60,2" -> cange speed limit to "60" on link 2
- example: "40" -> cange speed limit to "40" on all link 1+

ST KS_Zs8-Trigger

 - set a Counter Line Indicator for the line
 - only in combination with a Zs6 on main signal possible

ST KS_TAB-Trigger Scenario

- set this trigger before link 0 from main signal
- this trigger is useful if you must press the TAB key otherwise to change signal aspect
- if trigger is set, no messages displayed if passing TAB trigger and switching signal

There some helpful pictures and informations in the german manual.
Please use this for more understanding. Thanks.

Have much fun!
