Release 4.5.0 - Schematic Routes Feature

New User Focussed Features:

• Schematic Route Buttons Feature:

  • 'One click' select/deselect of routes, changing all points and signals as required
  • Point and signal changes can be instantaneous or sequenced with a user-specified time delay
  • Once successfully set up, routes can be highlighted on the schematic in user-defined colours
  • Automatic clear-down of highlighting if routes are invalidated (e.g. point or signal changes)
  • Track-sensors can be used to automatically de-select routes when the trains have cleared the routes
  • Interlocking is preserved - If a route isn't possible the button will be disabled (with a tooltip)

• Removed constraint on interlocking with conflicting signals - more than 4 signals can now be specified

  • The Signal Configuration Window used to be 'fixed' at 4 conflicting signals per route
  • This now uses a new UI element where additional rows can be added/deleted as required

For this release, I'd specifically welcome feedback on the new schematic routes feature
