Identifying Train Blocks

Post by rebusb »

Just got the stable update to 16.36

and the info window when you roll over track pieces no longer shows the block id.

Is there a new way to identify train blocks? I used that id a lot when debugging train signals.

See FFF 198 - I believe it appears when you're placing signals.
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.

There's a debug view that colors blocks on the screen. I can't remember how to turn it on.

There is some indication of where the train cars will be relative to a selected signal, but I am not getting the colored bars that indicate the extent of the rail block. There is no indicator of block info when rolling over the tracks in question.

I can see how removing the rail and block numbers from the UI makes it cleaner, but the block number is important info once easily accessed, now?

I will have to find that debug view I guess.
