I wonder if there is a session rule or a driver command to automatically set a car to load a particular commodity?
I have a route with few consists of tankers, for which I have to set commodity, such as diesel fuel, aviation fuel, petrol, using the commodity picker. At the beginning of the session I have to cycle through all AI trains, click on each tanker and set correct commodity. If I make a mistake, for instance, pick up wrong commodity or skip a tanker, the industry will attempt to load the first available commodity in the queue, instead of that required by the tanker.
I also have to re-set the commodity for each tanker returning from a portal, as it seems to clear the commodity which was originally set. The portal also allocates a new running number to the tanker. After few days of running the same session (in real time) my tankers reach numbers in range of thousands. Although I never got an overflow error, this is pretty annoying, especially if I use couple to/ uncouple from command in the driver schedule. But this is another problem.
