player train timing

[johnnyboy99]

I've been doing countless hours of trial and error to see if certain AI trains appear at the right time in my activities. Especially doesn't help when you're trying to get a meet with an industry switcher or a train on an adjacent mainline or diamond
Is there a good way to calculate when the player train reaches a destination?

Is there a good way to calculate when the player train reaches a destination?

Don't know, but remember, everyone runs their player trains differently, some slower, others faster, so it's only a guess when a player train reaches a given point in the track.

Section 11.16.10 ( AI train Waiting Point modification through event) in the manual explains how to trigger an AI train when the player reaches a certain Event marker.
Perhaps you could use this feature to make your trains meet up. Once you figure out the instructions, it is much faster to do than spending hours and hours trying to match up your train meets by trial and error.

My understanding of activities is that AI traffic, at any given point, is there at the same time on every run. Is that correct? If so, it would be a great help if a timetable of sorts for AI traffic could be known, then the "hogger" could run the player train accordingly to hit those meets "On time".
