DigiTrains 3.2 available on Play

Show the status of next signal

If you use multi-color signals which are able to show the status of next signal, you can use them in DigiTrains. To enable the use of this function first enable it in Dispatcher settings menu which can be opened on the top right menu bar.



Enable the “Enable to add start and end signals for routes in layout editor” setting.



After that, create a new route or edit one (as it is written above in Dispatcher game section). Now after the step where you select your route press save button and you will be asked to select the start signal for the route. After that you will be asked to select the end signal for the route. Then press save to submit your settings. During the process you can quit by pressing the back button above the layout. For start signal only multi-color signal can be chosen.
During dispatcher game DigiTrains will set start signals automatically based on the status of end signals:
·         if you change the status of a signal, which the end signal of an active route, then the start signal will be changed automatically based on the value of end signal (end signal address+0 and address+1 will be set to start signal address+2 and address+3)
·         if you select a route, then the selected route start signal value will be changed based on the end signal (end signal address+0 and address+1 will be set to start signal address+2 and address+3)


For Start signal you need to configure a multi-color signal. A multi-color signal reserves 4 addresses. The base address + 3. Be aware of this when add other accessories, not to use these virtual addresses.
