Newbie here. Sorry if this has been answered before, I did a search for "display switch id" and didn't come up with any results related to how to (or whether you even can) do this in the program. I notice in a number of screenshots throughout the site switch IDs on the route screen itself rather than a separate map/diagram. For instance, this shot from one of the Royston tutorial pages appears to show switch IDs in the interface. https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Media/Wiki%2Fusertrack%2Fsims%2Froyston%2Froystontutor%2F5r96a_out.png Is this maybe an old option or edited into the screenshot? I don't find anything in the simulation options to allow this. I know you can right click on a switch to see its ID, but thought it might be useful to be able to toggle it on (especially when first learning). Log in to reply |

Welcome The Signal IDs that are in that image have been edited on. Every sim should have a signal number plan in the sim manual on the wiki. Most should be a searchable pdf so you can use a find function in your pdf view (As these are produced by various members, not all of them are). When I first started i would generally have this number map open somewhere in the background to refer to if needed There are a couple small sims that have the numbers displayed on the panel (either fixed or switchable) but they are an exception rather than the norm Last edited: 10/05/2020 at 15:45 by y10g9 Reason: None given Log in to reply The following user said thank you: chabuhi |

Just a minor nitpick, when you say switch to me in the context of railways, I think switches and crossings - which are points, basically. The switch is the movable part. Points number plans are not a thing sadly, finding points numbers is much, much more of a pain

As TUT says, 'switch' is an alternative name for points. "Don't stress/ relax/ let life roll off your backs./ Except for death and paying taxes/ everything in life.../ is only for now."
