Dispatcher - Timetable

[Neal_57]

I've come here from long-term usage of SimSig, so I'm using their TT's/Gameplay as a reference.

We need a more dynamic Dispatcher Timetable:

Ability to 'remove' handled trains or have them greyed out once they've passed through.
***Discovered that recording time of arrival/departure/crossing marks train in green, so indicating train handled***
Ability to sort trains by Dispatcher Post.
Ability to sort trains by Type, Number, Arrival or Departure Time.
Train Data to include Train Length & Maximum Speed.
Ability to offer Train to next Post EARLY or to HOLD until booked time.
Maybe a way to discern Up or Down lines? (Though that may just be a British thing).

Does any of your 'suggestions' happen in real life when dispatching on the Polish railway? 

If they do, then they will be incorporated, 

However if they are just a list of 'i want this feature'  or 'this other train game does it like this'.... then likely they will not, as SimRail is a realistic driving and signalling simulator,  giving the general public a taste of what it's like to drive a train or dispatch on the Polish railways, 

The parent company of SimRail makes the simulators that are used to train real drivers for their career on the railways, so if things seem weird, it's just a case of getting used to it, as that is how it's done in real life.

You can take a look at the community-made timetables. They work in real-time based on the game's API.

I think there are more but these 2 I know of.

Current in-game EDR is based on the real one.
