Is there a way to stop the ringing-phone sound file playing one last time when you pick your answer and hang up the phone? I think SimSig is using the same sound effect for when the phone is ringing, and for the message going into the message-box at the end of the call... Also, would it be possible to work in a caller-ID feature - showing the location of the caller when it's a crossing or a yard, and either the signalpost number or the train description depending on era when it's traincrew calling? Thinking this could go alongside the phone button on the control panel or on the button itself if it were wider!  Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

Sounds like some testing is taking place today with the fault possibly found. Trains passing through the area are showing on track diagrams again which is some progress!
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway. Log in to reply The following user said thank you: DonRiver |

Yes - the perils of multiple tabs! Apologies. Although whilst in this thread, could the telephone ringing noise be made to toggle between 'ring once' and 'constant' - I like to know I have a new call when I don't see the icon flashing, but don't want to be notified constantly until answering - whilst the constant is naturally more true to life, a lot of SimSig calls are the modern equivalent of 'SG' which wouldn't come with ringing on the signallers base.

You can even choose which call to answer! Log in to reply |
