Simulate delay for cab signal upgrades #7

Closed YoRyan closed 9 months ago

In the real world, cab signals occasionally display an unintended aspect for a brief few seconds. This phenomenon is called a "cab flip," and safety systems are programmed to handle it.

Due to the placement of track circuits and the performance of the onboard computer, there is also a perceptible delay between passing a wayside signal and the moment the train receives the corresponding cab signal.

It would be nice to simulate both of these effects.

Sources tell me that engineers don’t experience “cab flips” very often, so we’ll pass on those.
