Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to select a panel, and let the program/computer take over the other panels.
Wimbledon being a good example, allowing newbies like myself time to get used to the sim taking it in stages so as to a later date being able to take on another panel.

many thanks Pete

So what do you do on a sim without ARS ??

Pete as Zach said you can enable the ARS on the panels you don't want to control, only one word of warning here, there may be notifications of manual actions that are still needed to be performed on those panels

Try my best :). I'm not a big user of ARS. But on sims like London Bridge or Three Bridges I will choose some panels to leave on ARS so as to make it manageable.

Hi Pete,

As it stands, in single-player mode you own control of the whole sim and that's just how it is... but you can always leave parts of it to (mostly) run themselves using ARS or auto buttons, and of course you can always adjust the relative speed with F3 or even pause the sim to temporarily look over the other areas. That's not cheating when one person is doing the work of four :)

Thanks
Jamie

Don't forget the speed control keybinds, they can come in handy in a pinch:
F - Fast Forward - speeds up time to maximum speed for up to 5 minutes
N - Normal speed - sets speed to 1x, cancels any active fastforward
P - Pause - speaks for itself
