RCO Operations

[LYNNDYL]

This may have already been asked before, and I'm sure it would be a long way out, but do the developers ever foresee an RCO mode to play in switching operations?

I'm currently in DSRCO training for UP and am having fun with UP's Trainmaster simulator and Raildriver controller, and with a real Cattron system with an RCL in Texas. The feel and operation of RCO is different than working with a conventional setup, and would be a fun addition to ORTS.

It would be neat to see, and also neat would be to see PI Engineering develop their RCO controller for household PC usage.

Yes, it would be, but I doubt it will ever happen. I believe UP bought PI this summer. The Trainmaster sim for RCO is very nice, especially the physics. The L/V monitor and Buff/Draft monitor are great tools. I wish MSTS had them; perhaps ORTS will have something like that.
