Central Portal Control - Trainz+ 126280

[paulper]

Using Central Portal Control v3 added to my session, I was expecting the ability to add a portal and go from there, but no such option exists. It doesn't matter what route I try adding this session rule to, or indeed what portals I have used. Is there something that might be missing from my map?

What is a Portal?​

Portals come in a variety of forms - some resemble tunnels and others look like a section of normal track. One portal is a Track Marker. The basic portals supplied with Trainz can be configured to:- remove trains that are sent to them or pass through them (the portals that look like track can be used to let certain trains pass through while "swallowing" others). The removed trains can be:- removed permanently, or returned to the Session through the same portal or another portal after a set time delay add new trains to the Session. The new trains:- will have drivers with orders to follow can be randomly selected from available consists

Can all of the available portals fully perform the functions listed above?

I hope someone else in Class Room smarter than me can address this, I have never used this particular one.

The ones I used in the last 10yrs were simple ones. By Auran, with 3 options, take trains, take and return, and emit new trains.

The two Auran ones I use (
<kuid2:30501:22006:5> Portal Basic
<kuid:-25:1264> Portal)
can create, remove, or return trains. Trains returning have a choice.
They can return from the same portal or choose another portal.
They can also choose one of the following.
1) "Train is not loaded or unloaded."
2) "Train is loaded only."
3) "Train is unloaded only."
4) "Empty trains are loaded, other trains are unloaded."

I have started to place a blank baseboard some distance away from the route with 6 portals set up, one for each of the above, one for the exit of trains, and one for the returning trains. Other portals are placed to return the trains to the correct portals on the route.
