There was no AI dispatcher. There was no "request permission" button. There was only me, the bauxite, and the cold, indifferent rails.
The scenario ended. A score screen popped up: I laughed. The ghost of the Győr signal had won—but I’d delivered the bauxite.
As I approached the first distant signal (a Hungarian Előjelző ), it showed green. Good. I passed it. Then, 300 meters later, the main signal— Főjelző —snapped to red. msts hungary
I’d chosen a night freight: , from Székesfehérvár to Komárom. Locomotive: V43 1133, the Szögletes Kigyó ("Angular Snake"), in its faded blue-and-cream livery. Cargo: twenty-one hoppers of bauxite. A simple run. Sixty-seven kilometers. Two hours at most.
So I did what any desperate MSTS engineer would do: There was no AI dispatcher
I closed the editor. Returned to the cab. Checked the map overlay (Ctrl+Tab). The ghost train was exactly 4.2 kilometers ahead, occupying the only passing loop.
The simulation loaded.
I slammed the emergency brake. The hoppers clanked against each other like angry dice. I sat in the silent cab, watching the red lens glow. No AI train in sight. No manual switch indication. Just… a red.
