I see a future in set design, possibly. That's brilliant!

If you ever wanted to make this available for public consumption (upload a zip of this project), to learn from, and perhaps even add to, I for one would very much look forward to that.

Are any of those screen shots inside ORTS (runactivity.exe)?

Thanks for the kind words.

Features> I love features, I made my self this feature section to see what was activating and what was not, made it 10 states/frames long and had Multistate_Displays with 10 states for all.
Attached File  Features.jpg (78.72K)
Number of downloads: 7

future in set design> Well I'm in Design/layout, and the UI is made in InDesign so.
The 3 narrow speed bars that beside the speedometer with has Speed limit, projected speed and actual speed, turned out to be a great way to drive and keep within speed limit and accelerate quickly without overshooting.

Screenshots> Are from 1.5 (i can tell since the Odometer works) so no Reshade, since I can't get that to work on 1.5, and I'm kind stuck on 1.4 until that is resolved.
The texture is a 4096x2048 DDS DXT1

We have a new cab master>
My thinking was making it available later as a kind of how-to-make a 3D cab, but I'm still new to Blender and is missing some basic stuff -Today I learned CTRL+A Scale to reset back to 1.0 without effecting dimensions, for now I only got the cover and the intro 'Starting from Scratch' ready:

Maybe a .blend file of your demo 3D Cab.....would help. One day soon, maybe?

Thanks,
Steve

This should go in the Blender Content Creation Notebook.

I have been looking for a template for HUDs to learn from for some time now. I hope some semblance of this can be used in North American trains. It always helps to have a good example to work from!

Tak for dit hårde arbejde. Jeg sætter pris på din indsats.

Thanks,
Steve

Tested this one. Looks really promising. But rather large. Would like to have this on a separate window. Like I see in modern locomotives.

Ok, ok, I know, the fancier the more wishes...
