Two changes I'd like to make:
*move the _Model Loaded BC to occur just before _Run Start. This will allow it to trigger messages, etc. which it cant at the current time it<br /> is sent
*reduce use and eventually eliminate dependence on the 2 _PreInit<br /> broadcasts by modellers.
(followup: these BCs wont be removed as they are useful for modeller's setup use)<br />

Currently the following happens and PL sends the following BC sequence when a run is started:

START RUN ENGINE:

  • The model is initialised for run (phase 1)
  • BC _Preinit Start
  • BC _PreInit End
  • BC _Model loaded (if its an initial run)
  • The model is initialised for run (phase 2)
  • BC _Run Start
  • model pauses or continues depending on options

The 2 stage init process was from an era when certain objects could not be changed once the run was going but the modeller needed an ability to initially set them up.
