OTTD - new approach to flip flops 1 to 2, 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5

Very nice!

I've always liked your ideas

Great work! Even when I don't fully comprehend your designs, I learn more every time I come back to them. I may learn this gate eventually, but right now I've been experimenting with the Vitus Gate you introduced to the broader public. Took weeks and multiple watchings to wrap my head around it. I think what caused most of my frustration was in trying to get the gate to function properly. Yes, you said to experiment with the "tails", but every time you make a change, it alters how the train behaves. I eventually figured out that all of the needed inputs and outputs should to be attached FIRST before trying to get it to run in the desired fashion. Then it started to click.

You don't even know how happy your comment made me. Sometimes I thought that everything I was doing here was in vain because no one needed it. Especially now that developers and the Reddit community are promoting the use of path signals instead of pre-signals. Thank you very much. This restores my faith that not all is lost in ottd ❤ I see you have your own KZbin channel. I subscribed. I don't have much time to play ottd and watch movies lately, but I will do it in the near future.

@@jewoGRFS yes, I have a YT channel. Not monetized or anything, and I'm not much for making videos. If I do make an OTTD series it will be tips, tricks and logic machines under the banner of Dr Strangetrains: or How I Learned to stop worrying and love OpenTTD.

@@jewoGRFS were you aware that the Vitus Gate works on an angle? Well, at least the NOT function does. I was working in a cramped space and needed another line to bridge in and turn at the corner of the gate, but there wasn't enough room for the inputs to squeeze in if I had my passing line in there too. So I thought, "could I save some room if I could build the gate on an angle?" It worked and I had the landing space I needed for the other wire.

[@beauxguss6321]

Correction, the NOT requires additional track. I made one that looks like a kidney, but it could be done just extending the long loop an extra tile. The short angle can be done as a rising or falling edge detector.

[@jewoGRFS]

Picture would be nice :) Anyway, Vitus design is quite universal and can be used with many other functions, even at the same time.

Very interesting design! I still prefer my design which only ever uses one NOT gate for any number of splits, but mine doesn’t work as a logical flip flop. (I only use it as a splitter)

[@beauxguss6321]

I managed to make my own unbalanced splitter design using two Vitus Gates and one engine on a clock. One of the Vitus Gates is just for the reset at the end of the cycle. The clock design is loosely based on the memory cell array that @LugnutsK shared in his logic series.

It is excellent jobs. 🙂
