Hi all,
My thoughts on this particular topic are growing and growing, every time I build more stations... So, let me explain:
For those who play fairly realistic, this may relate to you a whole lot more. Yes it might not be fundamental to the game, but I find that every bonus feature improves gameplay and makes it even better than what it currently is! Pretty much what I'm suggesting is the ability to tell the game where our vehicles should re-enter or exit the station. What I mean by this is - in the game sometimes your vehicles magically 'jump' back into your station from a point on the road which the game determines to be the closest point to your station (at least that is what it seems to do). Whereas this may be way off to where it actually is. My question is, could we have a way to manually set where our vehicles enter and exit the station?
Say for instance, the game just doesn't want to make your vehicles enter/exit the station in the way you want it to - could there be a marking system (like POI's) where we tell the game where the entry/exit points to the station are? Another prime example is... When in real life, a station has vehicles exiting from the front but re-enter from a rear gate (this is very common here in my particular area of Australia, not sure about other parts of the world).
In saying that, I would recommend introducing 3 sets of 'POI' markers - 'station entry', 'station exit', 'station entry/exit''. That way it should cater for all setups!
Hopefully that explanation is clear... If this isn't actually possible as somehow this is determined by the independent map site, which would be strange as ultimately you're just using another road to access the station - then just let me know
