Test - 10072021.fsmHow can I make the flow items (trucks) stay in the queue until the NetworkNode is available/open?

I want to gather data on the queue but the flow items are not staying in the queue. Attached is the model for additional details.

The most control would probably be achieved by using a process flow to individually release the trucks from the queue (set queue to "Do No Release Items" in "Send to Port").

Then you could wait for the previous truck to reach the next network node before the next one is released.

A similar result could be achieved by closing the queues output on every exit (Exit Trigger -> Control -> Close Output) and reopen it in the arrival trigger of the next node. Although when I tried it, sometimes two trucks would be released simultaneously, still.
