Hello François,
1/ Would it be possible to place a train on an itinerary without being obliged to display the itinerary by the \"Show an itinerary\" topic?
The Reason of this request is that currently when we want to change the itinerary of a train it is a little bit to long: we have first to wait a train stop (such as at a rail station), then display the desired new itinerary, then place the train on this new itinerary at the right place where he is currently stopped (by \"Setting a train on an itinerary\") and finally configure the speed. During all this time the others trains continue to move!!!
If in a menu it was possible to assign directly an itinerary index to a train index. It would be faster. It\'s just an idea.
I would think about that while I\'m rewriting the whole Itineraries.
One idea:
You open the train dialog by clicking the train. There you\'ll find a button \'Choose possible itinerary\' or so. After clicking on that button you could choose all itineraries at the place where the train currently is. Or is that not fast enough?
2/ Currently an itinerary should be \"Closed\". Is it possible to dispose or define \"Point-to-Point\" itineraries?
No, not in the moment. But i could think about that for CaTrain 2.4 or 2.5. The problem is: What should happen with a train if it arrives at the end of an \'Point-to-Point\' itinerary? Should it stop? Should it use the old speed and just move on forward? ...
3/ Could it be envisaged to have a nicer method to leave a train from its itinerary?
In the 1.82 version, one method was to engage the reverse gear when the train was at a stop. (This possibility hasn\'t been kept in the 2.2 version).
Currently in the 2.2 version, in the semi-automatic mode, we could arrive to do it by modifying manually an itinerary shunting.
This both methods are indirect.
Hm, i understand it in the right way: You want a button where you could \'say\' Leave itinerary now - right? So, what about the idea, if i add a point \'No itinerary\' to the idea with the \'Choose possible itinerary\' button. Would that be fast enough?
Kind Regards,
Daniel
