wanted to set a route from O to 2G (signals were still highlight), but a route D1 to 2G came in.

While understandable, but how is one going to learn the "trick of the trade" when one doesn't get the chance to try it out?

I noticed upon start in many scenarios that the player is set in a cab in pitch dark (during the night) with a train in front of the player. Not able to move. I assume this is caused by the automatic trains being stuck somewhere? If a player is pushed into a cab while the train is running... in the dark again... towards a red signal... that's a hard one to do. Gives a good curly toenails.... in one case I was not able to start any scenario again, as the "choose train list" stayed empty. One needs to restart the sim completely new to get the list again.

A second attempt was even better. I was able to set and release route in the electronic signal box of a four track easy station and guide through two trains. Even was able to go outside, walk around a bit and see the train pass and signal drop to stop. (and no, I didn't try to run under the train yet) That was nice experience and easy to do. Well done. Hard: finding your way in the dark. It's VERY dark outside. Maybe a torch available?

Well, that was a nice first try on the dispatching side of things. Tried an electronic signal box and was able to set and revoke all kinds of routes. But no trains came by. Then I tried a mosiac panel (lazy Lc) and got all moveable trains running through. Note that you must set the switches correctly first, before attempting a route with the signal button at the start. From there, it went smooth and train nicely passed by with proper sounds and illumination of the panel. One train was stuck (well, it lit red on the panel for occupied track. Not sure if it was a train) I received a question from Dąbrowa Górnicza Ząbkowice station, whether or not the "train 245021 on track 4 is clear", but was unable to answer. Tried "yes" and "tak"... but the send button didn't do anything.
