Trainz Plus Beta TLR Phase 3 - 132833

Is there a way to run a passenger line without reallocation?

Currently not. I am double checking what are the conditions for reallocation vs repeat issue of the passenger line task to the same train.

Depending on the feedback, could look at requesting an option to add this to the Passenger Line configuration.

Loop line is defined as a series of stations that loop back around. If each station is visited once, it will complete the loop regardless where it starts (hence why by default mid line starts are allowed for loop types). If you wish it to start at one specific station and finish at another, perhaps its best you run as type terminate or disable the midline start for loop.

Once a passenger line task has completed, Dispatch Manager can re-issue the task to the driver, effectively driving the passenger line on repeat. This applied to all passenger line types (not just loop).

Once a driver is assigned a LOOP run, WHY should the driver be RE-assigned.??
The driver should just continue......

If the driver needs to be RE-assigned that the passenger line is not a LOOP.!

Currently, Passenger Lines do not allow infinite loops to be configured. This will be covered by schedules/timetables. It is a considerable amount of work and will not be part of the initial release.

With that said, for sensible loop lines (ie, for a line that is actually a loop, and not just something the player has edited the type on), it is highly likely that Dispatch Manager will re-issue the task (passenger line) to the same driver when he/she completes it.

Dispatch Manager will also use the score of a line to rate its importance, and this score can be manually edited (via edit line) to give specific lines higher importance - If several lines have equal score, Dispatch Manager will issue the line to closest to the driver.

I hear talk of a release, when can we expect to be told about this future release? Also, I find the line solution to controlling multiple stops fascinating. Are there plans to make this work for freight trains too? Right now freight movement is limited to extra trains doing bike messenger like tasks. Freight trains run by a schedule as well and it would be nice to say the Daily Morning Turn to Hampton be assigned by dispatcher too.

These random characters in the config.txt for the sessions are beginning to get annoying... never had them before this build. or was it the last one?

Lucky build 132833 is the first (and hopefully the last). Only seems to occur (at least in my experience) after editing in Surveyor and then saving.

That only happened once to me. After the initial ?#_ located at the bottom the problem disappeared on my system at least. Now that I said that, it'll appear again.

Also, the CTD I had hasn't reappeared again either. I know that they're not related, just one of those things I'd like to repeat so I can write up a bug report.
