Some viewers asked how I got the HUD that I've been using when streaming so here it is!
Disclosure: I got this DLC for free. I am not paid or directed to produce content. All opinions are my own.

I prefer the smaller version of the regular HUD. My reasoning is that you are to a degree at a disadvantage not being in the real cab and all the tactile effects real life would provide. For instance you can't twist your neck slightly, use peripheral vision and countless other minor things you do and don't even think of. So since I am constrained by the monitor (human interface) and need what some might consider "cheats" in the form of a more extensive HUD. They are in reality, a way to make the lack of real in cab presence are a way to account for the difference. Not that I won't at some point cut back on my HUD usage.

This will make me sound like an arsehole but I play on a 45" 1000R curved monitor so I do have peripheral vision :). Only when I'm streaming and recording do I limit it to 2K. Every person's HUD choice is personal and your thoughts are just as valid as mine for using one of the other HUD combinations.

Personally i like to just turn everything off. I may mess up everything sometimes but there is a satisfying feeling I get when I drive trains using only the onboard instruments and signs/lights on the railways. Same thing with hiding the objectives and time, forces me to to look at the schedule (by pressing T) and use the onboard clock on the trains. Or if I want more immersion, write down the schedule on paper or print it out and use that. Only issue I have is not knowing exactly how signal aspects work.

fair enough, I've been known to run hudless after I learn a route and its signals (which I don't often have time to do)

Hi, in the top left corner banner, what does the bar (like a barber shop sign 😊) represent?

@trainsimulatordriver 10 ай бұрын

that is distance to the next objective or time - when you approach an objective it goes orange and counts down until its empty that is where you reach the objective (either a stop or a go via) when loading passengers it starts white and counts up until it goes green then its time to shut the doors.

Personally I’d like to use the track monitor, but I’m not sure you can change the size. This is a deal breaker for me with my eyesight, so I’ll probably stick to the old method until one day they actually implement an accessibility feature for this accessibility feature.

No there shouldn't be, it's possible it's changed since this was made. You can set all the variants of what is and isn't there in the settings menus. I'll try to remember to check in game myself after work.

Great video thank you! I have made the switch to TSW4 from TSW3, and only discovered the minimal hud from a LNER driver playing with it. I have just run a couple of routes with it and love it however i am still suffering from the problem of watching the hud rather than the train! What advice could you give me to get myself away from the old hud habit and embrace the immersion of the train? Thank you.

@trainsimulatordriver 4 ай бұрын

The contrite easy answer is turn off the HUD. You can only realistically do this after you've learnt the route. Even without the HUD you'll still get the audio cues for objective completion(like knowing it's time to close the doors). I've fed back that I would like to move the HUD to the bottom of the screen so that it's more a part of the dashboard than it could be at the top.

Hey there, fantastic video, really useful for me as I have just returned to TSW. I had a free roam question........ I have been trying to set up four in line class 31 to pull a reasonably heavy freight load. The problem I have is only the lead loco is pulling. I have put the other three locos into neutral and let the brakes off but still they are not synced up. I have tried this with the class 37s and it worked a treat but can't get the class 31 to do the same. Any help with this would be excellent, I am really keen to use the class 31 as they pulled my local train when I was growing up. Kind regards.....

@trainsimulatordriver 6 ай бұрын

Not all locomotives allow multiple unit running. Just about everything American does. I think the 66, 57 and 47 (recent ones) do. The more recent German locos will. The 31 is very old I'm not surprised it doesn't know how to handle it.
