Checking this new functionality, I have noticed that, once "Automatic platform and siding visible" state, it's enabled, if there is a label visible at activity start, this label disappears when the train starts departure, without label intensity effect.

Every station label disappears the moment you depart from the station, or miss the stop, because it is no longer relevant to the activity. I don't know what behaviour you think is buggy here.

Please don't change the activity, I am fixing the bug in Open Rails. :)


Okay, I have been busy and I haven't touched it yet.

It's correct, your code does it, but when the train is approaching the next station stop, the distance-intensity effect label is applied.
Sometimes, it is practical to see what station stop, we are leaving in the distance.
Visually, it would be a refinement to apply the distance-intensity effect label to the train departure too.

It's just a suggestion.

I could work on it.

You want the label to fade into the distance after you have departed from that station? We could probably just keep all timetabled station labels visible all the time, but that seems less useful. It's tricky to do a good fade out by distance when you could have multiple station stops within the visibility range of the labels, for example

I have always done the tests, with stations quite far from each other. Perhaps , with the proposed patch that I attach, we could improve it.

Always referred to the "Automatic platform and siding labels" mode enabled. I'll explain myself better, with the attached images.

Current code. The train makes it's first station stop at "Paradise Main Platform" and the last station stop will be "Paradise Evaro Hill Platform", but both station stop labels are visible.


New code. Only, current station stop label is visible.


Attached are the patch file and RunActivity.exe (x3998), for testing purpose.
