Hello

It does not make sense to use timetable auto-separation for this group. I suggest you turn it off.

Now I have realised that there is a configuration option to put auto separation by default in all trains.

Automatic separation should be turned off

Automatic separation turned on or off, both approaches have their drawbacks. Is it turned off, freight line vehicles which typically should start when fully loaded will do this but for passenger lines where one wants to have automatic separation one has to remember to manually turn it on. If turned on, one has to remember to turn it off again for freight line timetables. In my experience, I tend to forget this quite often (in my case to disable it for freight line timetables), and I reckon I’m by no means the only one.

Ideally the setting would have an option to set it on for passenger vehicles and to disable it for all other vehicles. But I haven’t the faintest idea whether something like that is even feasible.

Tschö, Auge
