    Open Rails despatcher (dispatcher) screen

    I have searched for this subject....promise. I really have.
    But the Trainsim.com search engine is pretty poor.

    There was a time when I could bring up the despatcher view in a separate screen which, I think, was accessed once loaded by hitting the Alt+Tab key combo.

    But now I can't even find how to load the screen, let alone bring it up whilst in-game.
    The Ctrl+9 key combo doesn't seem to do anything.

    Could someone please lead me out of the wilderness and place me on the righteous path?

    CTRL+9 is the correct key combo to use, but it starts minimised, so you either have to be in windowed mode, or use the windows key to access the OR icon. Hovering the mouse over the icon should then give you a choice of windows. Alt+Tab will also work to give you access to the screen after starting it.

      Many thanks for the memory-jogger, Mr. Baldwin.

        Note that the F1 key in open rails gives a list of keyboard commands.
