DeepFritz Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I'd like to have a small indicator-light on my HUD that tells me if the sector I'm currently driving in has a human dispatcher or just a bot. Also, I think a "distance to next train driven by a human" would be nice. Both of these are infos I currently have to look up in the TAB-menu, which really breaks the immersion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugaCane Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 You say it brakes the immersion, when you press Tab but you are driving with HUD on? Dont understand your point here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The feature you describe, will come with the next patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont understand your point here. Well, there is no indicator inside the cabin that tells you if the sector you're driving in is under human control is there? Nor is there a gauge inside the cabin that tells you the distance to the next human player. So it obviously has to go on the HUD, doesn't it? I don't understand your point. You can switch it off, if you don't like it. @Friedjof: that's great to hear, thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugaCane Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 You don't understand me, do you? You talk about immersion, but you play with Hud onf?! So where does it destroy the immersion if you have to press Tab apart from the fact that it comes anyway? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz292 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 i use an old android tablet, sat in a mount next to my main screen, on this i display one of the many live SimRail train maps, it tracks my train on the map and shows all trains around me, with different icons to show if they are Ai or Human driven, same with the dispatcher posts. I also display the timetables on an e-ink reader... placed to the right of my screen as this is where it is in the EU07 that i drove all the time before the EN57 was released.

DeepFritz Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Nice setup. 👍 vor 2 Stunden schrieb SugaCane: You don't understand me, do you? You talk about immersion, but you play with Hud onf?! So where does it destroy the immersion if you have to press Tab apart from the fact that it comes anyway? Pressing tab blocks my view on the track. It also blocks all vehicle controls. It feels like quitting the game. Where exactly did I say that I drive with the HUD on, by the way? All I said was, that I like to have a function on the HUD that is currently not available. If it was available, I would certainly activate the part of the HUD that contains this function, because this information is important for playing the game and, for obvious reasons, is not available in the cab. I don't know why this is important to anyone, but since it seems to be so important to you: I actually have the HUD-timetable active because I play on a small notebook screen, have fairly bad eyesight and find it hard to read the "paper" thing in the cab of the EU07. I also use the F4-screen for a similar reason: To read all the speed limits, I have to drive fully zoomed in. If I do however, I can't see all the gauges anymore.
