Not to be rude, but how many people do you think are really going to follow it? We already have 2 outside of Trainz reference items that it seems hardly no one uses. I'm just saying that having the host tell each and every new player where to find what and to read this and that, will be a pain for the host. And most users that don't have a printed copy of the reference pages we have made probably don't want to quit loading data, go get another page printed, and rejoin the session. The session seems to be getting like a mechanical object. The more pieces and moving parts, the more the chance of that part to fail. "Keep it simple, stupid" may not be a bad idea to follow. But if everyone wants to follow the idea of having all these guidelines, thats fine with me. I'm only pointing out this for the other users who might want to join in one day.
Just tossing my two cents in on the matter at hand. Not meant to offend or target anyone.
You can always ALT+Tab to minimize Trainz while it is loading. And even if you dont print out the industry charts that we have made, you can still write them down. The one that I made, and am reworking, is only for reference any ways. So if you dont know where some thing goes or is produced you can look there to find out.
Now if you really want to add paper work, I was at an op-session once where each train had a set of instructions. And crews had to carry a rule book, a map, and car cards. You also had to fill out paper work before even getting your train. Drop it off at the yard office. Then when ready to leave the yard, fill out more paper work and "fax" it to the dispatcher. (By fax, you had to put it in a drop box that lead to the dispatchers office on the other side of the wall. Then you had to wait for the dispatcher to call the yard maser on a yard phone. Then the dispatcher would call you on your radio. After all that, you might get to go out on the main line. And yet, that was the most fun operating a lay out I have ever had.
Not meant to sound rude.
But I do think that we should have some organization to it. Right now its more like a free for all with trains. And I want to move closer and closer to more prototypical operations.
