Patch 1.EA.040

This patch enables you to automatically toggle switches with senders at the vehicle and receivers in the ground, and to block the switching against other vehicles.

The new feature package will be explained in the lexicon today - for Map Creators and for Vehicle Scripters.

The actual gameplay can be explored on the new Diorama map.

  • The choice of direction is done with the arrow keys on the IBIS (GT6N)
  • A sensor in the ground is marked with a sign ("W") in the overhead line - if this point is crossed, the arrow on the IBIS must already have been pressed.
  • The switch is only set if another road is not already blocking the setting of the switch.
  • The use of the switch iron (G / Shift+G) DOES NOT cancel the route.
  • A route is deleted by the train with the sensor driving over another "delete" beacon at the end of the route.
  • Only then can a subsequent train set the points again electrically via a setting command on the IBIS.

The current range of functions represents the absolute basic structure of the whole complex. More functions, specialties and so on will follow! Your information is also welcome. :)
