Mar-21-02, 07:15 AM (EST) "Missing power % box" Hello all.
I'm having a little difficulty with some downloaded engines, namely a Class 37 (EWS 37 I seem to remember) and a Class 153 (Regional Railways I think)... sorry to be a bit vague but I'm at work and my TS installation is at home.Anyway, usually when I change any control settings, a little box comes up in the centre bottom of the screen and tells me the percentage set. This is not now happening for the above engines. With the 37 it's not so bad, as I can tell what sort of power is being applied by the engine note and the position of the handle, but the DMU has a combined power/brake handle, and I find that sometimes I'm chucking the anchor out, when all I want to do is idle a 0%.Is there a key in the .eng files somewhere, or the .cvf files that swithches the tell-tales on or off? I've sorted out my editor problem by the way, so editting is no longer a problem.Thanks in advanceFodz
