Hello !
Since X2940, odomoter doesn't appear on F4 monitor. But how can we do to display it ?
Thanks in advance.

But Ctrl+Z indicates only the length of train, not the distance from beginning..
Best Regards,

Total distance travelled of the player train can be viewed in at least the dispatcher information section of the f5 hud (shift+f5 to change pages), Can't be certain, but I think I've seen it elsewhere in the f5 hud as well.

Thank you for this tip... But my reflexion remains : why to do simple when it's possible to do complex ? Wasn't it more clever to display it on F4 hud ???
Best regards,

Hello, yes it probably would be simpler but, in my opinion, I agree with the notion that it made the f4 hud a bit overcrowded and messy. Yes I would use it, only very occasionally though, certainly not often enough to want/need it on screen all the time. Hopefully in the future the f4 hud will be configurable, then everyone can have what they prefer displayed.

Cheers,
John.
