Switches are moveable pieces of track designed to steer rail vehicles in one of two possible directions. Depending on the session difficulty settings, switches can be operated in many ways:
- Using comms radio aimed at the switch
- Using station and route schematic maps with the Dispatcher license
- Using switch setter gadget
- Using mouse cursor in mouse mode
- By manually interacting with the switch lever
When crossing a switch from the diverging end, it needs to be aligned to the desired direction of travel. When crossing it in the opposite direction, however, the switch doesn't need to be aligned. It will automatically change to the track that the crossing wheels are coming from.
Il existe deux types de panneaux associés aux aiguilles : celui d'annonce et celui de direction.
Le panneau d'annonce a une forme en « Y » rouge sur fond blanc, indiquant une aiguille à venir et la fin de la section de limite de vitesse actuelle. Il a une plaque d'appendice blanc en dessous, indiquant la distance restante jusqu'à l'aiguille, en kilomètres. Par exemple, une distance de 400 m serait marquée comme "0,4".
Le panneau de direction est situé sur l’aiguille elle-même. Il présente une ligne blanche diagonale sur fond rouge, indiquant la direction dans laquelle l’aiguille est positionnée. Basculer l’aiguille fera tourner le panneau qui pointera dans une direction différente, en accord avec la direction donnée par l’aiguille.
When operating long trains in reverse, a distance tracker gadget can be very useful to navigate switches.
