| − | Before you start to use Automatic Signalling or Signal Dragging you should check the signal density. You can change it in the Patch Settings -> Construction Tab or easily edit the drag_signals_density value in your openttd.cfg. Make sure the value is set to two.<br />

| + | |
| − | [[Image:Standard signal dragging.png|left|thumb|200px|Basic Signalling]]The first thing you should know is how use the basic signal dragging feature of OpenTTD: Build a signal (fastest Shortcut is A & S), left-click it and hold the button, drag it as far as you want to build signals. Release the button and the signals will be built. Very easy. | + | |

| − | [[Image:Automatic signal completion.png|right|thumb|200px|Automatic Signal Completion]]Now we are ready to build signals and know how to use the basic feature of dragging. We can go a step further. Again Build a signal and drag it. While you are dragging it a little bit press the CTRL button and release it. The track will be filled up with signals until a breakpoint which are existing signals on the track, stations and junctions.

| − | == Removing Signals ==
| + | |
| − | [[Image:Deleting signals.png|left|thumb|200px|Removing Signals]]It's also possible to remove Signals with the Automatic Completion feature. If you have build a track with signals, use the signal deletion function (Shortcut: A & S & R): click the signal, drag it while pressing the CTRL button and all the signals will be deleted. The breakpoints are stations and junctions.

| − | Automatic Signal Completion won't stop at: '''Tunnels''' and '''Bridges'''<br />

| − | ==Checking anyway==
| + | |
| − | After you have "signaled" a track, you should optimize signaling at tunnels, bridges and junctions, they need a signal right before or after the interruption. This will minimize train delays and therefor produce a better flow of traffic on high density networks.
