Phone Suggestions
« on: April 14, 2020, 10:26:19 AM »
Hi DP. Just a couple of suggestions on expanding the phone call option.

1. May we switch the phone call from a ring tone to the familiar radio "tone" when someone wants to reach the dispatcher?

2. Having the option of assigning simulated yardmasters and dispatchers of adjoining territories and entrances to a specified entrance locations i.e.  an entrance/exit is labeled as mega terminal track 3 and another is named mega terminal track 4 so instead of the phone call originating a message like mega terminal track 4 is calling you one can assign a specific caller to track 3 and track 4 mega terminal like Mega Terminal yardmaster is calling and then he can say the the specific entrance location he is calling about. Then any unassigned entrances would just generate a call from whichever train is trying to call for ie a train working an industry and needs to come out on to the main out in the middle of nowhere. His message would start something like this. Train xxxx at entrance pine lumber then completes the rest of the message. Just think it would help make the incoming calls sound a little more realistic. Just something to build off of an already great idea.
