Dispatcher information

[Stuz]

Hi everyone,
I have recently been experimenting with activities on the Monon Route. I had entered an AI into a single track and I was waiting for the meet at a siding when I noticed on the F5 key that Dispatcher Information was showing the approach of the AI train. Graphical information appeared to show the train distance counting down through each block as it approached. The one thing I could not work out was how far the AI train was away from my position. Eventually of course I could see it.
Are there plans to enhance this feature? I think it is a fascinating addition to ORTS.
Regards Stu.

Yea i agree Stuz, the Dispatcher feature is an Amazing feature, that i am looking forward ORTS improving upon !

I hope one day we will get something like openttd's dispatcher, just with realistic braking and accelerating distances, where you just need to set the unload/load stations, and the paths are handled by dispatcher, dynamically. But i don't know how it's possible now in msts compatible way, because as i know msts routes lack of track directionality informations, so double or more tracks can be problematic.
