train running times 10/06/2012 at 18:00 #32978

6 posts 		Hello,

I used to play Swindon years back and thoroughly enjoyed it and was excited to play swindid!
The issue I am having is with the train running times being in the information bar as some of the older sims used to do (presumably a trial?) when the headcode is clicked. I find it a real headache trying to plan train running at some junctions down the line and have ended up using the F4 screen!
Are there any plans to change this feature to the new version with the pop out screen?

Thanks and keep up the great sims!

In the F3 menu there is a tab titled ARS, under here there is a drop down box on the right hand side
"ARS Popup information" will give you the timetable information in the popup box

Hope this helps

The option to have TT info in a pop-up box or in the information bar is a feature of ARS simulations (the original, paged version of Swindon did not have ARS).

Can you be more specific as to what it is you are missing. Also if it's a question of regulating trains at locations have you had a look at f8 option?

Ahha!! that's altered the whole game!! As a proper bobby (or bobbyer if we're desexing it...??) I find regulating is a lot easier if you can see all timing points for the trains rather than just one point for sometimes. Been screwed over by TRUST a few times for this! "Never trust the TRUST"!! :)

Thanks

Hi Peter,

I have used that option too, good useful tool especially for trains not entered yet! Slight feedback would be it doesn't remember your last selection when you close the F8 screen!
Thinks the lads above have answered original question. Thanks
