i read this thread, i agree with anybody who says the signaling is good, but i propose something for the people who do not want or can invest time in learning how to signal properly, i reference to TT and OTT for this.
trains should automaticly find a free/alternative path, because if i watch a train on his tracks i constantly see the yellowish information that its looking for a free path. this should 1. also work in stations (so the trains approach the first free platform to load/unload), and 2. if i place two-way signals on the tracks trains should automaticly find a free way, without me intervening by setting signals to one-way only. this works in original Transport Tycoon and in Open transport tycoon … its fun to watch… for me at least.
of course, as i said, as an option. options are good, and the game should be fun for anybody right ? and there is no fun if two trains block each other constantly and you get into debt because of that, esp if that blockage blocks the whole main network with 16+ trains … not fun
just my two cents
keep it up.
