As we say here "one picture explains more than 1000 words" ! Now I understand the difference between point and location exit. And in the second picture, where the circles don't overlap does the annotation appear again when I reach B ?
Wow, the app gets more better the more I understand it. I was wondering how I could measure nearly exact distances so that e.g. I can set a point 50m before and another 50m behind a bridge. Just now I noticed that in the right column "Closest Locations" you can see how far away a certain location is. So I set a New Location in the middle under the bridge. The resulting point has the same coordinates of course. Now I walk back until I see in Closest Locations a 50m distance to this point and add these coordinates to the location. If I now erase the first point by unselecting Custom Radius and clicking on the small X, the Location itself keeps it's coordinates so that I still can measure the second point on the opposite side in the same way ! Don't Save before measuring the second point, otherwise the deleted point won't show up in the Closest Location List any more. To erase a point, there must be at least two points in a location. So if you made a mistake and want to change a point to a different coordinate, you first have to create the new point and then you are able to erase the first wrong one. Locations can't be erased (yet?) but there's a workaround. You can open the exported file with the windows editor or, much better with Notepad++ which is free of charge. As you can see, this is very structured: Every Location ist started and finished with </PointOfInterest>. If I erase the marked section, the London Paddington location is erased in the app after I save this file and import it. Of course you must obey the Golden Rule: Always make a backup of the file before editing something! Of course you can also edit all values that you normally edit in the app.
Question for the author: Is it possible to add ready-made presets for the arrangement of data displayed on the screen? Maybe I'm stupid, but I still haven't managed to get the display to appear in the upper right corner. Why not add pre-made center/corner locations + fine-tuning options for those who need custom locations?
You can delete, the button might need a better position though... Also points and location can have a collored ribbon in you're in range of the point https://gitlab.com/winzarten/tsw-route-annotations/-/wikis/Application-Overview This should do it.. I honestly don't think it could by much simplier then horizontal - right, vertical - top. Just don't forget to click apply below
Did some digging and this will be tricky to do for the expert locos (with other words, impossible). The 101 expert does not use track wetness at all. TSG has actually developed a custom wetness model, which is calculated independently from weather variables like precipitation, fog, temperature, etc… also, the wetness is not going away in an Instant, if you simply switch off precipitation, as it is a function of time. It should still work for the standard locos, though…
Hi Winzarten I have a small problem. When I'm driving in TSW, no weather symbols or data are displayed. I have also ticked the box for Show Weather Info in Overlay in the app. I have also tried changing the 0 at the top of the monitor to a 1. But no matter what I do, it doesn't show me any overlays in TSW. I don't have to tick Show Test Overlay for the weather overlay, do I?
Hi Winzarten Yes, but if you activate the option shown in the image, announcements about tunnels, stations, etc. will also be displayed, won't they? Because I only want to see the weather data in TSW, not any other announcements.
Yes. In the current version there is no easy toggle how to have only the weather overlay... I'll add it as an option.. But this should work: Setting the Right/Left Margin (based on where it is alligned) to something ridiculous should move the annotation out of the window visible area :-D
I love how much information this mod gives you whilst driving. I simply could not go without having it installed now, as it seems ‘empty’ and rather lifeless without it. I also love how it pretty much chooses and does all the weather transitions and settings for you. Fantastic work!
