Distance To Next Station in HUD

[joe_star]

Noticed that the distance to next station in the next station display has been missing in the past couple of releases. Anyone care to comment why this has been removed?

I found it quite handy to estimate running speed to the next station, especially when the station is quite distant and not yet displayed in the track monitor

What is the revision number where it is displayed?

I've noticed the same problem. I'm currently running x.1680

I have never seen a distance to next station in OR of any version.

[davebridges]

It actually did show up in the Track Monitor, in the area that now shows the Node....Auto Signal, etc.
That space previously showed Authorization distance, and when you were within a few miles from
a station stop, the distance to the station. It also showed the distance to a reverse point if you were
within about 3 miles of it.

I actually pondered the same question myself after posting up the topic. I could swear seeing it somewhere in v0.7 or v0.8. Either way, any plans to have this feature implemented?

[davebridges]

I know it showed up in v0.7, and I'm pretty sure it also showed up in v0.8, but I
can't be certain on that one.

In v0.7 the next station name/platform was displayed in the F4 window, but no distance, same in v0.8. The next station arrival time has always been displayed.

I was hoping the distance to next station would eventually be incorporated ala MSTS. My reasons are, like the OP I find it useful to estimate running speed to arrive on the posted arrival time. The time isn't much help without a distance for calculation purposes.

Same here, by the time it appears in the activity monitor (F4), I'm usually off timetable already. Not an issue with routes I am familiar with, but definitely helpful staying on time on new routes or unexplored sections of old ones!
