Good afternoon all,

When fiddling around with the OR menu in Visual express I noticed the box for Duration and difficulty are dropdown boxes. But they're always blocked and empty when explore is chosen. Also it makes more sense if this data is near the activity description where it already is shown. In my view those two boxes are not needed anymore, or it should be made possible to filter activity's based on difficulty and give the boxes a use.

Cheers Jordi

If you are referring to the white area on the right with all the text, then you aren't quite right - the contents of that area is entirely up to the route, locomotive and activity creators. The MSTS in-box activities are pretty good at including difficulty and duration in the activity briefing, but 3rd party content varies wildly.

I see, but still, why are dropdown boxes used when they're blocked all the time.

Because they have a limited set of choices and fit nicely with the other UI they are next to. It doesn't sound like you'd be any happier if they were boxed-labels, so I'm not sure why it matters to you that they're drop-downs.
