OK, what's the secret to getting a subway or trolley to stop at every announced stop? I have one Trolley and two subway sets. All of them only stop on about every other announced stop with them running in auto mode. I expected them to stop at every announced stop. I've done all the usual things, factory reset, fooled with the configuration, etc. Since all three have the same behavior, I can only assume this is either normal or I'm not doing something right. What am I missing?

I'll trade you. I can test this if you happen to have a copy of the PS32 chain files for subway handy.
Edit, I found where you posted them, so let me get on this and get this fixed https://ogrforum.com/...5#157406524383747695
I've got a set of R32s and the boards came the other day, but cannot find my copy of the subway chain files.
Does MTH have a site for the chain files? I know the Steam upgrade kit links to the chain files, but since Jason W. left I haven't seen any new updates on chain files or how to get them.
The chain file I have for Trolley is from 2015, does that one support Subways?

Very strange. All of my subways stop at every stop in auto mode, even the ones that had boards replaced and chain/sound files uploaded. Years ago, I did reprogram one subway with the DCS handheld remote to only stop at certain stations. I wonder if you inadvertently triggered that.

Here is a link to my just posted complete collection of PS32 chain files for all occasions. These are the latest I know of.

Thanks GRJ,
There were several I didn't have currently.

Well, all were purchased used, but the one I had to replace the board and load the sound and chain files, and I'm sure I didn't program anything. I just punched PFA and then the trolley menu and picked out and back all stops.
I think I figured part of it out. You have to press the FOL key twice to get all stops. I did that and it said all stops selected and is now stopping on every stop. This must get latched somewhere because my Red Arrow was working correctly and then started not stopping at every stop. I suppose you just have to get used to the features, I'm just starting to tinker with trolleys and subways.
Now I can move on to programming the subways...
