Slow-Travelling AI into Portals

Post by RowanTrodd »

Hi All, (First time starting a thread-apologies for any unintentional faux pas)

This question has been bugging me for some time and I have yet to unearth a comprehensive solution:
I have a route which involves mainline portals having to consume trains at ~100mph, yet when I get AI drivers to drive the route, they always slow upon approach and crawl into the actual portal for consumption. I have tried Portal Basic, iportals, Portal-basic-HP and Re-rail Portal Basic without any luck. I can manually drive the train into the portal at whatever speed I desire, but the AI automatically slows to a crawl.

The only (somewhat) solution I have discovered is to build a long amount of invisible track attached to the 'back' end of the portal and signal it as normal. By Navigating Via a trackmark placed at the end of that track tricks the train into entering the portal at a decent rate.

Is there a solution less hacky than this?
Thanks in advance,
RowanT
