Congratulations on a great sim, but am I missing something? Everywhere in the manual there are references to signal numbers, but is there a way to display these on screen, or is there a map with them on? Otherwise, how does a rookie like me know where you're talking about? Lawrence Log in to reply |

Otherwise, how does a rookie like me know where you're talking about?Go to the F3 screen and on the Control tab uncheck the "right-click cancels route" box. Then when you right-click on a signal you get a pop-up menu showing the signal number and a context menu where you can carry out various activities related to the signal. The signal number diagrams are normally created by a public-spirited member of the community and added to the manual on the Wiki after the release of the sim. As Wembley ML is a newly released sim I guess that is a task still waiting for a volunteer. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply The following user said thank you: lawrm |

If you prefer to keep right-click for route cancelling, on some newer sims (Wembley ML included!) you can press Shift+Right Click which displays the signal number (as well as a menu for reminders etc). I much prefer this.

Right click brings up the menu, Shift right click to cancel the route. find it stops me from accidentally canceling the route when i didn't mean toIf you prefer to keep right-click for route cancelling, on some newer sims (Wembley ML included!) you can press Shift+Right Click which displays the signal number (as well as a menu for reminders etc).

I wasn't entirely sure which is why I didn't specify Loader - for some reason I thought a couple of the non-loader sims had it. I like the quick cancel ability for that 'ohno' moment when I realise I've set the route and can cancel it before it proves

" said:I wasn't entirely sure which is why I didn't specify Loader - for some reason I thought a couple of the non-loader sims had it.Hence my "essentially" - I didn't feel like proving/disproving that any pre-loader ones had them! However, as has been pointed out to me several times, the loader has actually been around for a surprisingly long time now, and "recently" doesn't work so well any more.

One of the benefits of the Loader set-up - when this feature was added, it immediately became available across all loader simulations without having to wait for each one to be recompiled by the individual developers.
