An Odometer feature is available in OR, but the odometer cannot be managed by the cab.
Blueprint Cabview controls for odometer https://blueprints.l...cabview-control proposes to add the related cabview controls.
Waiting for possible blueprint approval to insert it in the official OR versions, the feature is now available in OR NewYear 106.
Following cabview controls are available:
- ORTS_ODOMETER: used to digitally display the odometer value
- ORTS_ODOMETER_RESET: used to reset the odometer
- ORTS_ODOMETER_DIRECTION_CHANGE: used to change direction (up/down) of the odometer.

Here what I have added in a test cab:

		TwoState (
			Type ( ORTS_ODOMETER_RESET TWO_STATE )
			Position ( 320 70 24 22 )
			Graphic ( AWSack.ace )
			NumFrames ( 2 2 1 )
			Style ( WHILE_PRESSED )
			MouseControl ( 1 )
		)
		TwoState (
			Type ( ORTS_ODOMETER_DIRECTION )
			Position ( 320 100 13 15 )
			Graphic ( pantografo.ace )
			NumFrames ( 2 2 1 )
			Style ( ONOFF )
			MouseControl ( 1 )
		)
		Digital (
			Type ( ORTS_ODOMETER )
			Position ( 377 100 26 17 )
			ScaleRange ( -99999 100000 )
			Accuracy ( 0 )
			AccuracySwitch ( 0 )
			LeadingZeros ( 0 )
			Justification ( 1 )
			PositiveColour ( 1
				ControlColour ( 255 255 255 )
			)
			NegativeColour ( 0 )
			DecreaseColour ( 0 )
			Units ( FEET )
		)

Accepted units of measure for ORTS_ODOMETER are METRES, KILOMETRES, FEET, YARDS and MILES.
It is no more needed to make changes in the .eng file.
The functions available for the odometer haven't been changed.

Thanks, Carlo.

Clearly described and seems a useful extension - I've approved it now.

This is such an excellent addition! However, is there a way to stop the odometer once activated? I can reset it, but I can't seem to stop it once it has been activated.

[Csantucci]

Thank you both!
The feature has been uploaded to the official OR github, and should be available in the Unstable release within half an hour.
Borislav, if you are using the odometer as a down counter, to check when the tail of the train has passed a certain point, you can set to zero the MinVailue of the ODOMETER control block. This way the odometer display, when reset, will run from train length to zero, and then stay at zero up to next reset.

Excellent, one of my wishes, thanks

[Borislav]

All right, thank you very much!

A few of my wishes
Already in HUD
but would like in cabview

Autopilot On/OFF display
Gradient as a ratio as well as percent (2% - 1:50 )
Consist length
Consist wight/tonnage
EOT gauge

Anyone else support this?

[Weter]

Sorry.
Real cabs don't have such instruments, do they?
Maybe, that new train-driving window can display that?

[ATW]

Some instruments do exist an I an amazed now that we have the counter. Still Some ways to go especially the Rear BP pressure representing an EOTD. Total consists Traction force maybe too.



Whether it be cvf extension or possibly Web Server design Cab instruments I like how far ORTS has come.

Some of these indicators do exist in Evolution Series locomotives. I am sure the same goes for ACe and M-2 locomotives as well.
