At the present time, this is not on the TO DO list for the next release. However, it is on our longer term roadmap.

We are working on finishing the Cab Controls for Diesel, with Steam as the next in line when Diesel is finished. To be honest, our focus is on supporting Cab Controls that are not currently supported in OR, such as the Fwd/N/Rev Reverser positions, Alterter, Combined Controls, dials, gauges, and other stuff. In addition, we are working on the getting all the display options (text, colors, bar charts, etc) supported, too. No promises on the bell.

All Action Events including pop-ups are working in latest development build, just testing all kinds of scenarios. Evaluation for Activities is being worked on right now.

We're working on next generation signaling, interlocking and dispatching, this will replace current dispatcher info in HUD and address your other issues raised. No promises as to full delivery date, but it's moving ahead.

Thanks alot Chris an keep up the amazing work !!!
I am very happy with what has been done thus far

[lindsayts]

Many thanks for the last couple of replies chris, ypu have managed to answer at least half a dozen questions I had. Can't wait to see a good working dispatch and signalling system in action so I can do some real good activities.

Very impressed with progress so far.

Thanks ! ! !

The F4 HUD will show you how far you are from the station platform. I believe you must be within about 20 yards for the station to register, but I will check the code for an exact answer.

[apostle282]

Ok Thanks Chris, i try to use the distance indicator as a guide as a guide, but sometimes its not accurate an i miss stops because sometimes it works, only when i stop the rear car on platform ! which in those cases it is already starting to count distance from the next station !
Thanks again and Keep up the Great work !
