Hi,

I thought I'd do my mainline Control Board style for a change, but am wondering a bit about the look of it. In edit mode I can see all the sensors:

In operate mode, half of them transform in to yellow dotted track:

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

There appears to be a need for a two step approach.

1) drag the sensor to the ControlDesk
2) shuffle it a 2nd time, even if you dragged it to what you thought was the correct place the first time.

I think this may be because sometimes there is a need for a "docked" v "not-docked" association
Docked = linked to the track image

Thanks,

I started shuffling but realised it was because they were sitting on top of track elements. Some of my track runs weren't long enough to fit the sensors in between.

Regards,
Henrik

Does anyone actually use Control Desks?

Next problem, sensor sections don't light up whne triggered unlike normal track diagrams. Why not?

Thanks
