Hi, all,Is there a way I can give a signal a danger aspect (thus have the driver stop), then change the signal to a less restrictive aspect (either caution or clear) after a certain amount of time?
The goal here is to recreate the typical braking sequence when a block is busy or when a clear itinerary has not yet been created by the switchman.Thanks for your help,-Yannick.

If you can, download and look at Frank Inklaars excellent activity PTLCHC22.zip for Marias Pass 3.0.He uses an AI "trigger train" on the route to simulate the conditions that you want to create.Good Luck

God, it works!!
I now have a TGV2N going from Marseille Blancarde to Marseille St Charles, following an annoying loc for the first half of the route, and it looks very realistic. That's just brilliant.
Thanks, guys.
