    So I'm making my own railnetwork and I'm having trouble with portals, I've placed a few down but I'm not sure how to name them or make them work?

    Is this functionility currently not avaliable in the current editor?

    After placing and connecting them to your track network, you can use them for Go To instructions in the timetable, you don't need to name them :)

    How is it possible to connect portals with track? The only time it worked, the editor crashed...

    Maybe there is a trick on how connecting portals with normal tracks? I saw that there was a black triangle and not a red one like on normal track, i think that it means that this end of track is inactive, but when i looked at DTG-routes, the track was connected although there is a black triangle...please help, i don't have any clue!:|

    So if you search Portal in the core folder you'll find something called DA_Portal_Europe_1600m.
    Using the snap to ribbon and move & rotate drag it until it lines up with the end of a track, I'm not sure if it autojoins so I usually cut a section just before the portal and reconnect the track that way.

    Make sure to use track properties on the portal track so it has a destination to go to, name it.
