    I touched something what definitely shouldn’t - HUD. Few month ago when I came into TSW I somehow managed to configure HUD to my liking (show distance to the next target in the left corner, gradient, and current speed limit). That was really hard to achieve, but I did it. Today I realised that on some routes I need the next speed limit dispalayed on the HUD. And again I've opened the Pandora's box...
    Now I'm desperate, distance to the next target had dissappered from the HUD, and I can't get it back.
    I'm either have gradient and current speed or distance to the next target but without gradient and current speed limit. Things are even worse because HUD settings are located in two different places - some control HUD itself and some conrol the HUD in general (simple, minimal, normal) and the latter one overrides the more granular ones(but maybe I'm wrong, I can't fathom it anyway).

    I need help.. I want on my HUD - current speed limit, gradient, distance to the next target, and ideally the next speed limit. What should I do to have it?

    Have a look here, Train Sim World Settings Explained : Dovetail Support
    No one person can tell what to do without seeing the game screen, this includes what you are seeing.
    I can tell you that you can use the keyboard to turn some items on and off.

    Here is a Quick graphic I made, also you need to select the hud type you want but you really need to take time to look at the settings and see what is doing what, it's pretty easy once to get the hang of it. Experiment with a new test profile and learn your way around.

    Thank you for the answer. With help of settings explanation you provided I figured it out. Still curious why the didn’t put in the game.

    Settings description that you linked. In the game itself it's not clear what does what

    you can always contact support from the link I posted. And that link gives you all the info for every setting in-game the graphic I made is the keyboard binding shortcuts.
