Gradual Percentages for set/releases open/closed for angle cocks an Handbrakes. Edit: hold on angle cock %.

An option to allow Cab vibrations an car body soft-hard to occur only on conditions related to conditions such as track curve, grade changes, track switches an highly recommended... buffer forces from accelerations or deceleration with accelerometer an coupler settings behavior pointing to comfort/discomfort levels.

a resettable distance measuring counter in the F5 Hud in feet travelled are at the top of my wishlist for 2015. Currently the F5 hud just shows distance travelled in yards and miles but is not resettable.

Adding this feature would be really easy. The problem is to decide where to add it. What would be the user interface for it, what key to use to reset it, etc. I'm not sure, but HUD is not the best place for this control, as currently it is told that HUD is intended for debugging only.

Would it fit in addition to the Track Monitor and/or a ORTS Parameter addition to the cabview where we make a template an rename it to a ORTS reading so MSTS won't cry just like the fonts tweak since MSTS has no problem with. MSTS Bin had us reset it with shift+F6 or was it shift+6...



I think I will pull my wish for now about angle cock % as I have found my solution as if it was my conductor cutting in the air slow enough but it still affects some things I have to experiment.

MSTSbin had such a functionality?! Noone has mentioned this before. Where mstsbin exposed the numbers, and what key was used there exactly?

Yes it was in meters in the 3rd extended hud display.

Hi Peter,
If I may, here are the Bin keys:
MSTS Bin Function Keys
Reference page 14 of the Bin Manual.
Ctrl+NumPad
1 = ?

2 = Introductory Train Ride On/Off

3 = ?

4 = Alerter On/Off

5 = Collisions On/Off

6 = Distance Reset in F5-3 Bin HUD*

7 = Toggle Right Door

8 = Toggle Mirrors

9 = ?

0 = ?

+ = Display Bounding Box

*Note: I have found the measured distance is about 20% short in tests I ran on a ~10 Km run of straight tracksections. I don't recall the date but I did write this up at Trainsim.com Route Builders forum 1n a Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) post.

i.e 1 Kilometer = ~800 meters.This was affected by the timestep setting in MSTS as I recall.

Regards,
vince

Edit add:
Reference to the Trainsim.com post re Bin Distance Counter which I had dubbed the 'Bin-O-Meter':good:

Ah, if it is part of MSTSbin, then nobody may argue against adding it to OpenRails. :good: I will have a go.

Please be careful with using Num keyboard - it is something we have still unused and what can be used e.g. for speed control...

[markus_GE]

NumKeyboard also can be a pain, if it is used by default, but your computer (most laptops) doesn´t have a NumBlock...

Cheers, Markus

AFAIK our current keyboard handling code is unable to handle the numeric keypad, at least not as separate keys, just maybe as replicators of the main keyboard.
