The feature as implemented by gpz could be considered for addition to OR NewYear MG (and to the official releases if there is an OK), if it is of interest. However what makes me perplex is the use of so many key combinations to have it working. I'd prefer to have a small pop-up window and to perform commands by mouse.


It would be an outstanding feature to Openrails, it'll take us to whole another level of simulation, I'm looking forward to this new feature! Thanks to gpz for the hard work on this, and i hope we can get this working as soon as possible! Thanks santucci, for the urge of taking this project as close to reality as possible!

Best Regards,
Thiago.

As you folks requested, Diter took a picture of the screen you're looking forward.

Check the attachment please.

Cheers,

Yep that's very similar here. It has multiple options then it looks. I will be glad to put up a simple example from the Manuel.

Based on the engine number (UP 8581), I would guess it's an SD70ACe

I would propose a simplier key command for the controls.

SHIFT + W = Fence up or to the right if already up with more than one DP set
SHIFT + S = Fence to the left of down
SHIFT + D = Throttle up \ dynamic down
SHIFT + A = Throttle down \ dynamic up

The last two working similar to the combined control throttle handle that is available in OR now which allows the use of the A and D keys to move from throttle to dynamic braking. To me it seems like the controls would be very simple if set up this way.


I second this key combo idea. ATW and I were just discussing this the other day...

Boa noite, fiz uma cab com o display de potência distribuída, mais os indicadores dos blocos A,B e C repetem os valores da líder, gostaria de uma ajuda de vocês para que esses valores mostrados sejam das remotas trazendo assim um realismo maior na simulação. Obrigado
