Virtual Depot's

Hi @Goetz

I wonder if I might intrude on your expertise once more in order to establish what I am not doing in order to get my bus to exit from Depot 2 through my EV. 

On the face of it the process is quite straightforward. The bus enters depot 1 and is transferred to depot 2 where after a given period of time it should exit depot 2 in order to continue it's journey. This only happens at the moment if I manually release it, clearly not the best solution.

Kind regards

Pete

Ah, yes

You cannot transfer vehicles from one depot to another, Pete.

But you can release a bus from depot 2, which is held in depot 1.

That's why the send command has two fields for depots. 

The "virtual depot" at the top is your source (i.e. your bus garage)
The "target" at the bottom (defaulting to "current depot") is your exit spot.

Kind regards
Goetz

Many thanks for that. As always the solution is simple, the key is knowing how to interpret the clues. Poirot's little grey cells getting just a bit confused, again!!

Many thanks
