    I would like to change what a loco shows on the F3 HUD.
    It is not a problem with the HUD itself but what is shown.

    On the RWA 1144 it shows a percentage figure but you need to be in the 15 to 19% area for the quick release - moving the handle to 0% brake just shows as Hold.
    Screenshot (381).png In the picture you can see the Brake Percentage as 19% and to the right it show max quick release.
    It also shows different application info depending where the handle is

    The bin files for the loco have a number of entries depending on where the handle is

    Is there some way the info could be changed to show the Brake Pressure in the F3 HUD?

    The BR420 Emu shows the info correctly
    Screenshot (378).png
    This shows the Brake Pressure in BAR rather than a percentage

    Thanks

    Brake pressure is only possible in the F4 HUD (A ControlValue must exist for this in the engine blueprint). The F3 brake display only gets information from the "TrainBrakeControl" or "VirtualBrake" (if scripted) control, not the pressure control value, so it can only show control percentage or NotchNames ("3.5 bar" is a fixed string (eventually localised via blueprint or .lan file) that's tied to a notch percentage in the TrainBrake / VirtualBrake control's "Interior(Irregular)NotchedLever" setup).

    Thanks - I will have a look at the 1144 and the SHG version that shows the Brake settings in F3 and F4 HUD
