Does the lead unit trigger in the activity, or does the whole concept have to be within the boundaries? If it's just the lead unit, then having a second platform item just off the original platform should satisfy the activity.

That may be true, but it would not work in all contexts (such as timetable mode). So what I was trying to say earlier was that I want to see multi-stops implemented in a way to avoid the need for duplicate platform markers (which I consider "faking it"). In timetable mode, it would just confuse OR..

Amtrak long distance consists were longer 20 years ago and the practice more common.

Code in an EOT device that doesn't have to be a wagon file, with all the associated brakes and wagon physics. It simply is a shape file that attaches to the end of the consist. As they are coded now ( as a wag file ) you can get wheel skid for instance.

Building off that - I'd like to see EOT readouts in cabviews on Wilmas. I usually run with the F5 HUD open so I can get EOT brake pressures, but I'd love for that information to be available for use in cabs.

I too like to see the EOT in cabs an be attachable an detachable. Or with Web Server get built into a custom screen of guages like a costome cab monitor on a devices.

Can the F5 HUD in web server be costome because I like to see the Odometer counter an mileage distances on it as well.

I'd like to see a Steadicam feature to smooth out track vector transitions....

Opened up a separate thread for that but it might not be in a place people look. If there's a better place for it to live, let me know and it can be moved.

Is it possible to implement a SPAD indicator to cab file? I need it to be added to cabin signal unit. Something like a CabSignal screen is hiden by those indicator textue when a train is at SPAD authority

Regards
Oleg

More than a few a years ago or so, one individual created a version of OR using Distributed locomotives. The concept of being able to control the speed of the locomotive that is in the middle or end of your train. I did try this and liked it. I have no idea why this never made it into the main distribution? I do believe this project is found under GIT hub.

I most definitely agree with Edward. Distributed locomotives is a must as I have seen the real deal an performance what the real thing does that company I work for just came out with a new rule. Rule to where DPU is recommended to be at a higher run then the leader when starting on a ascending grade to reduce the recent break into two's all over the system of PSR monster trains.

I saw that topic an think it should make it main distribution.
