Could there be a way to auto replace your vehicles? set it to every X years and the game'll prompt you to replace?

I bet some one has asked this before, but seriosuly 30+ vehicles it gets really confusing fast!

It is already available, go to the vehicles list and click at the bottom right button, a new windows pops up that allows you to replace vehicles.

Hmm i tried that, but it seems that the cars still keep running...do they have to *be* in the depot or something?

Thanks for your help!

You set up the vehicle replace thing.
Everytime a vehicle of the proper type enters a depot -ZAPP- it's replaced.
It's up to you to get every engine to a depot.
You can use the "depot all" order
or you can force trains to enter a certain depot by
blocking the alternative (without depot) route.

There is a patch that disable's all servicing (going to depot) if breakdowns are switched off. If this is active, your trains will never go to depot, without express orders - make sure it is turned off, if you want the auto replace feature to wortk correctly

I like to have that patch on when I use autoreplace. Then I can auto-replace, say, eight trains on one route, without changing the other 12 trains on another route which I don't want to update. It's still a great saver of effort. Grab a train, send to depot, wait, click start/stop. All done. (:

When a vehicle is auto-replaced does it replace it with the same type?

I've found that when a old vehicle expires I more than often want to also upgrade it to the best current model. While auto replace is good I don't want old vehicles in use 60 years later.

Well, why not look at the autoreplace vehicles dialog yourself?
You will immediately find out what you can do there...
