Consist Information

[SteveTr]

I am looking for a way to display Consist Information (details such as length, # of cars and locos, tonnage, etc.) both in Surveyor (Classic or 2.0) and Driver mode. I found under Edit Session there is a rule Display Custom HUD that perhaps would have shown the detail however this rule is obsolete in my version of Trainz22. I realize some info is available in both modes by selecting View Details, however the detail I really would like to see is number of cars for consist creation.

Thanks

If it says obsolete, then you have a newer version installed. Right-click on it in CM and select View Asset Versions.

It says Build Version 2.0

I think Stagecoach meant "List asset versions". This will show all versions so you can download the current one.

The asset (Display Custom Hud) is built-in and is build version 2.0. When I search the Download Station, it show 5 other versions by various authors. To take the guesswork out of the equation, will one of these rules work in Trainz22, and hopefully give me the level of details I am looking for?

I am not aware of a Display Custom HUD rule (or any other method) that will display the number of cars and/or locos in a consist. However, if you Ctrl + Right Click on a wagon in Driver mode and select the View Details option it will show the total length and tonnage of the consist.

Yes, in Drive mode, Ctrl + Right does give me some data (varies between JR and RRMod engines). I suppose this was just wishful thinking on my part. Thanks for the feedback.

Then that’s got be the Train Information list from JR

Train Information List Rule – JointedRail.com

jointedrail.com

Go ahead and download it and then Drag that CDP file into the Content Manager
This will show you Tonnage, length, Loads and Empties, Number of Locomotives for trains.

Success! Added the Train Information List rule, started an edit session, built a consist, started a Drive Session and under the Tools tab, drop down now displays User Rule Menu. Click on it and there is Train List. Click on that and nice interactive spreadsheet appears with some decent functionality.
