MrSuttonmann Posted October 19 Posted October 19 I have noticed that AI dispatchers most of the time completely ignore “pt” timetables stops. I was driving a freight on EN1 this evening and the AI signalled me past two timetabled stops and I ended up 10-15 minutes early. I’ve also had instances where an AI dispatcher will make me wait at the station before a “pt” stop and let other trains past first. In that instance, you end up being “late” arriving at the next station to then be “on time” leaving. The AI dispatchers should honour the “pt” stops at the correct places, providing the train isn’t late, as they are designed to let either higher priority trains pass at certain points where train length and/or loading gauge may be a factor, or for timetabling/sequencing purposes further down the line. Believe it or not, I want to sit for 20 minutes at a red signal where timetabled as it’s realistic. 2
the810 Posted November 1 Posted November 1 I agree with the first one, AI ignoring stops is a real problem causing lots of headaches down the route (I especially love it when I'm playing in Opoczno and Idzikowice is a bot, sending trains 10 minutes early when I don't have a platform for them, so they end up blocking the line). The second is less of an issue AFAIK. Moving the stop to previous station is okay and in some instances realistic. It's not just whether you're on time, but also status of other trains around you. In some cases it's desirable to move your stop elsewhere and it would be done IRL too. 5
