Automatic Train Control on any EEP Layout with Lua - v2.2 - 7
12EEP Lua ATC version 2.2 has been released. This video shows all the steps, from downloading up to having three trains driving around fully automatic.
One of the new features in v2.2 is the way trains can be reversed. There’s no need for speed reversal sensors anymore, which also eliminates careful sensor placement that was needed, as well as the visible speed hiccup such sensor always shows. Lua takes care of the reversal once a route has been given the additional specification reverse=true. This reversal method also makes it possible to reverse trains on a block that is not a dead end (future video).
