    Locating missing cars in consist file

    Hello All,

    I am very impressed with the level of detail and convience put into this editor. It has definitely become my go to. I did however find one nuisance which is when I have missing rolling stock in between cars, it loads the train with only the rolling stock that is found which is a bit deceiving. Is there any way a red square or some indication can be placed that shows you have missing consist items. If so it can be much simpler to swap out the missing cars.

      From the menu choose "View" place a check by "Consist Units" This will create a new column list of the contents of the selected consist. Missing items will begin with "[BROKEN]"

          In the "consist units" display, some items are prefixed by "[F]". What does that mean?

            I'll give you a hint: It is a four letter word.

              Apparently Goku's Translation program translated "Odwrócić" to "Flip" instead of "reverse".OdwrócićOdwrócić

                You should know that it was named "Flip" by MSTS devs:

                Wagon (
                WagonData ( PP-PKP-2008-117-Bdu PP-PKP-Bdu )
                Flip ( )
                UiD ( 1 )
                )

                  I like the idea of a red box where the broken or missing unit is...
