Hi Howky,
Selecting approach in dispatcher window, as you seem to be doing, bypasses signal logic, and could lead to dangerous situations. With this new feature you can allow a train to enter an occupied track section without neglecting safety.

However, the sigscr must be modified as explained here http://www.elvastowe...post__p__152482. Once this is done, a new option should appear when selecting the signal in dispatcher window, allowing 'CallOn'.

With the modification, the behaviour of CallOn functions is:

• Use on approach to stations
  
  • TrainHasCallOn() and TrainHasCallOn_Restricted():
    
    • Activity: call-on not allowed, unless manually selected from dispatcher window
      
    • Timetable: call-on allowed in specific situations (with $callon, $stable or $attach commands)
  
  
• Use on ‘free line’:
  
  • TrainHasCallOn():
    
    • Activity or Timetable: call-on always allowed
    
    
  • TrainsHasCallOn_Restricted():
    
    • Activity or Timetable: call-on only allowed if selected through dispatcher window

Regards,
César

Thanks for the information and for including the feature in your release. I have just created a Trello card.

And I've moved your card into v1.4 and merged your PR into the Unstable edition.

yes I have it undefined, like this, because the Open Rails dispatcher application did not allow it otherwise :)


But with us this signal is used as unsecured ride :)
so mistake can happen :)
