Increased HUD Modularity

[Lawliet]

Hi all!

I think increasing the number of specific HUD components to add/remove would probably be a good thing. I wanted to try running without HUD signals, for example. I found the only way to disable them also disabled speed warnings, station distance, and the countdown timer for passengers.

Thank you!

I would like to be able to re-position the HUD components, as well.

mee three,

Even if there's a text file we have to play with to adjust the HUD,  being able to turn bits off like the next signal aspect,  but also being able to move where they are positioned on the screen,

 

I am hoping once SimRail is fully released, someone with programming skills can write something that can grab the data that fills out the current 'timetable' HUD element, and have it so it can be shown on a phones screen,
Then add a few extra bits to the 'timetable' like distance to next stop, current speed limit, up-coming speed limits and distance to next signal,

Then we can drive with the main screen HUD-less and showing the view a real driver see's, and have a phone / tablet / 2nd screen displaying the bits from the HUD.
