Introduction

The HUD provides the user with both basic operational information, and extended information that can be used for debugging the performance of their rolling stock. The HUD can be accessed to show basic operational information by pressing the F5 key. More detailed information that can be used for debugging stock performance can be accessed by pressing Shft + F5 multiple times to cycle through each of the HUD information windows.

At the moment the HUD windows are described for a standard steam locomotive. However most of the HUD windows are relevant to the complete train, and therefore will be applicable to diesel and electric traction. The windows will now be described in turn as the user cycles through them.
