Now that you can drive a train, it is time to learn about the Traffic Control Console (CVL) and its operations.

Opening the CVL

Opening the CVL is possible with two keys: F1, (open the CVL) or F2, (open and give input).

The CVL panel

When you have opened the CVL, you will see a blue screen with the track (yellow lines) and section-numbers (white numbers). In this panel, you can make a path through intersections. In this panel, you also can see the actual sim time and where the trains are on the tracks.

Automatic junctions

When a path file is loaded, you can choose which junctions are automated and which not. You can do this by typing or the other commands.
