Update 354 "touches" about 1/6 of the program. (I now have an additional 60 hours a week to do ProTrak and the C&NE.)  I will list the changes and additions in various notes here.

1.  For the list of radio-throttles the operator's name can be assigned to a throttle; and then the throttle can be selected by name (instead of the chip-address).   Suggestion by Jim Switzer.

2.  When running in "Daily" mode - corrections to the Daily Summary.   (Significant.)   If you are running in Daily mode you should download and install this Update.

3. What I call the "Fred" issue - a car routing issue reported by Fred Kaser, where a car is moved, from its location in a yard, all the way across the railroad to a second yard, then routed back on a different train, to and through the original yard and ultimately on that train to its destination.

The car-routing move was legal, and logical, just not desired.  

This addition (to checking the routing) checks for the two yards involved.   The second yard is the same yard in both directions.

~~~

If a similar inappropriate move is seen, but the two yards differ then you should ponder using the optional "Work assignments" for the ultimate delivery train, unclicking "pickup" at the "far" yard. 

 

More later,

                    Jim

Jim IF the above statement means that you have finally retired, WELCOME to the retired life. I and all of the ProTrak community wish you much happiness, peace, and a whole less stress.

Joe (happily retired in Orlando)
