Next Signal / next speed limit HUD in TS12 sessions

[manos]

Hi all,
I have created a couple of sessions based on the ECML route, but when I'm in the cab driving them,
I cannot figure out how to bring up the 'HUD' window which is available to the user in the default "ECML hull ecexutive" session that shows
information on the status of the upcoming signal, what the next speed limit will be, and distance to both of them.
Approaching smoothly a scheduled stop without overunning it when driving at my favorite HST's speeds certainly requires
planning ahead so that kind of information is critical in this case.
Hitting function-keys F5 to F9 does not bring up this driving aid anyway. Any suggestions?
regards,
manos

You have to add the 'Display Custom Hud' rule to your session rules. You can do that at Main Menu / Edit Session in Surveyor.

If you want a more descriptive HUD that shows the next junction and industry, use "Display mc Custom HUD v2", available on the DLS.

Jananton and Scottbe8, I really appreciate your help. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Still for the sake of completeness, I'd like to ask you whether there is there some other rule or way
to add next-STATION information to those HUDs. (name, distance to, etc).
Thanks again,
manos

If your driving towards an industry the name shows in the top part of the hud, so if the station is passenger enabled that will show also. The only other way is to keep an eye on the signal names and speed limits as these will lower as you approach a station platform.

I see fran1. Obviously you mean that, speed limits aside, the letters contained in signal names close to stations will be somehow descriptive or abbreviations of the upcoming station name.
Ok, that's it for now. Thank you too,
