Having headcodes change colour to denote delay status is very helpful for regulation, but is it possible to extend this feature to all sims, or just those equipped with ARS?

Also, do real IECC displays have this feature?

It's an ARS specific feature which I doubt will be extended to non-ARS sims.

It is a feature of the real ARS boxes but with NX-Panels you are lucky to get one TD per signal never mind a disco.

ARS sims update the train's predicted delay continuously which is why it is able to display this information. Non-ARS sims do have a delay attribute which could be used to display the colours, but not as dynamically as an ARS sim. I can't remember whether CCF updates if, for example, a train stops between stations for a long time, if the colour changes.

Not on the IECC display, but most signallers seem to have access to CCF either on their desk or within walking distance.

Thanks for that information. I'll put it on the internal wish list. Any idea how it works out the delay - is the delay simply the minutes ago that it should have passed the next timing point, or is it more clever, e.g. interpolating times between TD berths and timing points?

Sorry, Geoff, I really couldn't say with any certainty.
