xris Posted March 2 Posted March 2 (edited) Hello all, today I release Visual EDR, a live multiplayer timetable viewer I am developing on and off for little over a year now. It displays trains as lines in a time-way diagram like so: You see 144023 (bot controlled) and 93278 (player controlled) just meet at 18:44 close to Baby. 144023 has passed Baby at 18:02 and goes on to Piotrków Trybunalski while 93278 will have a short stop in Baby at 18:46. The color of the line shows 144023 is early (turquoise) while 93278 is on time. A click on the train reveals more information: 71528 departed from track 2 in Łódź Lublinek, passes Retkinia without stop and arrives at track 4 in Łódź Kaliska. Retkinia serves two lines so you can see 514024 changes from LK 14 to LK 539. Visual EDR can also display whole lines like LK1: So have fun with it, discover it's features (manual not included yet) and let me know what you think. https://www.net-k.de/simrail/ Features Live time-way-view of the EDR Color coded train delay (can be disabled) Improved delay calculation (can be disabled) Follows dispatcher automatically (optional) No need to manually find the station you are playing: If activated Visual EDR selects server and station automatically to follow the current dispatcher Audible proximity alarm (optional) Never forget a train again: On selected Lines, currently LK 1 (without DLCs), LK 4, LK 8 and LK 64, a nearing train is announced by a bell roughly 4km in front of the entry signal Privacy first No additional account needed. Your data stays on your machine and is processed locally. Only the current selected SimRail server is sent to my server. Credits go to @Bahnkaktus and @Krul for alpha testing SIGNALSOFT Rail Consultancy Ltd for the original design @Rokolell for his version of SRTD Disclaimer Consider this an open beta. Visual EDR should work fine with Firefox and Chrome on PCs capable to run SimRail. It may not be usable on mobile devices and it may eat a few hundred megabytes of your precious RAM.

FirstAid Posted March 4 Posted March 4 (edited) I knew I know the design from somewhere 😉 Well done mate. But whatever I try, I cant get more than 3 Stations into the screen, when playing with the aspect ratio. You mentioned that it is able to display whole routes, could you explain how thats done? Edit: Sorry, I didn't scroll down all the way, found it.... Edited March 4 by FirstAid
xris Posted March 4 Author Posted March 4 (edited) For everyone wondering: The main menu only shows stations (I should probably change that). The lines are found in the options panel at the end of the stations dropdown. I neglected the line view a bit because I personally think it is not that useful for dispatching.

Kaito Kid Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Hello! It looks that what I'm the best at is asking questions. 🤣 Would it be possible to have the stations in the vertical axis and the hours in the horizontal one? Something similar to this: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKZZM8YEL3Oyv1zzumWAQtKVkbL3VU7lm1OxV_na0xmzTP1EgU0b9ibmQ060TeE0oCIOsejS2IybXlxEqOpuG0jl1xYRQNlyY9oh9Am7IHY1fgBeiMsRQGUhnNUxN1Q8rwupc9UMfniDmB/s1600/MALLA.jpg From here: https://blog.comofuncionanlostrenes.es/2012/12/puesto-de-mando-y-ctc.html 1

Sorry for the late answer. I do not really see the use case. Are you sure you want to scroll vertically for time? Also my rendering code is a mess. Maybe I add that option if I rewrite that.

xris Posted 9 hours ago Author Posted 9 hours ago I decided to release a new feature today: proximity alerts. You may choose to be warned by a bell when a train approaches your entry signal. The bell rings when the train is ~4km away But not until the train is visible on the panel and only if it would probably stop at the entry signal (signal is at danger or signal state is unknown) Fast trains (aka. Pendolinos) on ETCS level 1 lines are alerted earlier to prevent them from hitting the breaking curve Currently the following lines are supported: LK 1 (Katowice - Zawiercie & Radziwiłłów Mazowiecki - Warszawa Włochy) LK 4 LK 8 LK 64 Which lines should I add next? Should I finish LK 1 or should I prioritize single track lines like LK11, LK 15 and LK 16?
