Peter noted two issues related to going out of and back into Operations.  One was that a job now moving on alternative symbols was not saved as such and the other was that the "last reporting time" was not being saved.

Today's Update corrects both these issues:

Thanks for the update correcting these issues Jim

I just finished a computer simulation and they worked perfectly.

There is one small annoyance which I can see why it occurs since I'm using ATS.  When the ATS shows on the Reporting Trains panel in Operations it occupies the train position of the base train.  This means that even though the reporting time is correct the sequencing of trains is now not by timetable time.  It is easy enough to click on the departure time column to re-order the display but every time you report a train it reverts to the train order listing.

Is there a way to make the display "sticky"?  In other words, make it stay ordered by departure time until the operator clicks on a different column?

The use of ATS seems to be working well even with the constant changing of assigned equipment.  Haven't done enough yet to say so categorically but everything is encouraging so far.

 

Cheers

 

Peter

Peter,

Thank you for the heads-up.

Normally the time is sorted and is "sticky" (as are #, symbol, location and next destination).  

However I just discovered that if there is an extra ("add to plan"), the code from 2012 kicks an error which bypasses the sorting routine.  I have corrected that.   Next Update.
