Locomotive/train Map View change

Post by Mercury044 »

can you make the train map view zoom like the regular map does?

IE when you click on a train and can see it on the map on the right you can mouse wheel like you can with the regular map and have it go down to seeing the train in question.

it should still be locked to the train and go fuzzy if you don't have radar view of it but I believe it would help with consistency across views of the map

would also erase the need for the button to switch to view the train from the higher map view

thanks for considering

Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

not quite the idea I had.

I am more asking that the window that is a map on the right of the locomotive screen act like the main map (except for locking to the locomotive) so you can zoom down to actual view if there already is radar coverage

I think using the same detailed view mechanic in the train preview window would be more intuitive instead of having the "swap view" button in the top right hand corner of the window.
