• Bakersfield Sub
  • Adjusted the road-xing sensor next to PLS (LoneStar) to only activate when triggered by the tracks immediately adjacent to the crossing
  • Adjusted a couple more signals at Corcoran to hopefully help out Otto
• Barstow Yard
  • Eastbound AI trains departing from the N\E Departure Yard are now able to line themselves out when Otto is enabled (just like the north\west bound trains can)
• Cajon Sub
  • Adjusted signals at Slover, Dike, and Canyon to prevent an Otto problem
• Mojave Sub
  • Fixed a mile or two of floating track between Mojave Jct and Sanborn
  • Fixed a signal-misconfiguration at CP Gomez when coming off the wye (AI was stopping)
• Roseville Sub:
  • Fixed inop xing gates next to the WES\PDM industries near East Sparks
  • Fixed xing gates triggering incorrectly next to East Sparks Wye
  • Added missing dwarf signal for the east-end yard lead at Roseville Yard; this signal allows the yard lead to be used without fouling the mainline signals
  • Added missing mileposts east of MP 239 (Reno)
  • Fixed incorrect signal-link at signal 1266 Track 2
  • Smoothed out some jagged terrain just railroad-east of Colfax
  • Added missing Amtrak station tag at Colfax on DS Screen
  • Added missing number-boards and G-plates on several signals east of Truckee
  • Fixed mis-numbered signals (1432-1435) at Carpenter Road
  • Adjusted signals for Norden Track 2 so that Otto won't stop over-length trains at the tunnel
• Fixed an error calculating the total DB-Axles in the Shift-V display (single locomotives weren't counted)
• Adjusted the transmission shift-points for the Hyrail truck to make it handle better
• Fixed minor glitch when jumping aboard a car (sometimes it would jump to the neighboring car)
  
• New Feature: AI Train Symbol Timeout
  • In the Shift-F2 AI Traffic Generation menu, there is now a setting for Train Symbol Timeout Hours. This
    setting prevents AI multiple-spawning of a particular train symbol for however many hours are set
  • Default is 24 hours, Range is between 0 and 48 hours
  • Hours are counted in real-time since spawning, not simulator time
  • Set to zero hours to disable this feature
  • When the AI system considers a train for spawning from a spawn location, it will check to see how long it's been since the previous spawn of this symbol; if it's been over the number of hours set, OR if there's no other such User\AI train active in the world, the AI system will spawn it. Note: Dead trains are not considered as an active train
• You Squawked, We Listened: Customer Requests
  • The Chat Box now closes if the Train Tagger menu is opened (to prevent double-input)
  • Camera view direction now remains the same when Shift-F12ing off of a car\loco
  • Shift-Z HDG value (compass) now always shows relative to world instead of attached unit
  • The Shift-Z HUD now retains its setting after a train is relinquished\deleted
  • The Shift-Z HUD now shows "SS" next to MPH when the Slow-Speed control is activated
  • New Railcar Convenience Functions using the GroundCrew Action key [LeftShift-Space], or by holding down the Right Mouse Button and Left-Clicking the item
  • You must be within about 6ft\2m of the desired action, and looking directly at it
  • Available Actions:
    • Connect Airhoses (look just below the couplers standing in between cars)
    • Uncoupling Lever (look at coupler shank standing outside of cars)
    • Anglecocks (Open -> Closed -> Partial -> Open; stand in between cars)
  • The key assignment for GroundCrew Action can be changed in the Keyboard Menu
