On my home setup, I prefer a darker room with good spot task lighting, and I use either light text/dark background settings where I can in many applications, or "low distraction" mode in a word processor which dims everything but the page area and softens the contrast a bit there, too. After a day, my eyes are not happy with it. Our work order system, and of course MS Office, are all dark text on a light background. My preference for dark background with light text stems from the fact that I spend a lot of time at a computer all day under less-than-ideal office lighting. Maybe a simple toggle setting between both would be appreciated? Personally, I'm all in favor of the light text/dark background myself, but I know some folks prefer more conventional dark text on a light background. Geoff, interesting point on the background. Though any calculations are only as accurate as the.

Most use metric, but North America accounts for a fairly large chunk of popular MSTS content in some parts of the world. Unit conversions on-the-fly would be helpful, especially since MSTS touches on railway equipment from around the world. Very interesting, Goku! Nice work so far. Again, this idea is likely out of the scope of your project but I wanted to offer it in case you were interested.Īgain, thank you. The program would come in handy with 100+ car unit trains. Afterwards, one could add locomotives (and a caboose/marker) and the train would be ready to go. One could choose several examples from the rolling stock list, specify a length, number of cars, or train weight, and the program would create a random consist using only the selected cars. Specifically, for unit-train consists with 1 car type but several individual models represented, like your train of tank wagons in the second screenshot. Though it may be outside the scope of your project, a programmable consist generator would be useful. If possible, could you include a keyword search feature for the rolling stock lists? That way, one could search by type or carrier and temporarily limit the overall list of rolling stock. Thank you x 1000 for your efforts! Your screenshots look excellent and already include many of the features I would request.
