Would it be possible to see seconds also shown on the clock? In the many many pictures/photos I've seen showing inside a signalbox, and on the one occasion I've been in one, they've got a clock on the wall (often digital) that shows hours, minutes and seconds. So, could we please have seconds in SimSig too? As usual, thanks in advance for all/any replies to this.

I did put it on Mantis wish list (#4665) on 25/7/2010, but guess Geoff has bigger fish to fry.

Actually probably wouldn't be hard to do. But it's time that I have a lack of right now, no pun intended.

If the message to advance one tick is sent every second then it would be more noticeable every time there was a latency spike. Last edited: 21/12/2011 at 09:21 by Zoe Log in to reply |

So the server doesn't authorize the client to run each simulation step then? Last edited: 21/12/2011 at 12:43 by Zoe Log in to reply |
