[2.0.22] Fuel tab inaccessible from the Train Overview (O) window

Post by P.E.T.A.R. »

Hey there!

Before you duplicate to >> 120782, this is not about when a train moves away, I understand that when interacting directly in local view that this is expected.

Imagine the train is far away from the player, there are two different outcomes for the fuel tab being visible when using the Train Overview (O shortcut):
1) If you open Train Overview first, select the train, the fuel tab is not visible (even if we are supposedly in remote view).
2) If you go into Remove View first and then open the Train Overview, select the train, fuel tab is now visible.

As a player, my expectation is that when I select any train from the Train Overview window that I'm operating in remote mode and not in local mode (like when the train is close by). If I want to interact with a train directly I would click on it when in local view.

So for me this seems like an inconsistency, so wanted to check if this is really expected from a dev perspective.

This isn't a bug, but I will move it to feature requests.
Don't forget, you're here forever.
