When a driver is told to drive to a portal on a route does he drive to it and stop or does he drive his train right into and vanish?
When a REPEAT command follows a Drive to Portal command does the train start all over again at the same point where the schedule originated?
I have been messing with Central Portal Control but there are some limitations to generating AI trains in that fashion.
-I can not assign road numbers to locomotives like I can in trains generated in Surveyor mode.
-train vehicle selection is limited
-animation of portal-generated trains is relatively poor, heavy jitter and low cosmetic detail
-I cannot get into the cabs of portal-generated trains nor can I use chase view or line-side view with them, I can only
follow these guys in free roaming.
What I want to do is start Surveyor-placed trains at points near the portals on my route and run them into portals
at opposite ends of my route then repeat the whole shebang all over again and again automatically.
The whole idea of portal consumption of trains is to get them out of the way as much as possible and not congest my route or tie up my yards. They are only for
visual effect like the passive running road traffic.
