- The rest of the cab record is read when written: what drives the
vehicle, the doors' permits and departure signal, the brakes of the
whole train, a diesel's oil and temperatures, the cruise control and
the rest.
- Cab panel: the traction as fits what drives the vehicle (voltage and
current of an electric one; revolutions, oil pressure and temperatures
of a diesel; clutch or torque converter of a mechanical or hydraulic
one; nothing for a draisine), the equalizing reservoir, the main
reservoir pipe and the most braked cylinder of the train, the brakes'
setting and mode, a group of the doors, the pumps of a diesel where an
electric vehicle has its pantographs, the hand brake, the releaser, the
horn's tone, the radio's channel, the integrated handle of a unit.
- Events: every switch on and off, doors opened and closed, the departure
signal, the hand brake, the brakes' setting, the radio channel, the
cruise control's speed; moving with the doors open and an overheating
engine as faults.
- A vehicle with no lamps at an end (a draisine) is not judged on its
lights, and one which never had a voltage shows none.
- The hover label and the clock bubble keep to the left edge on a
narrow timeline instead of throwing in Render.
- A mark is told under the pointer only when it is drawn: within the
plot and the time shown.
- The device groups are clipped at their own width, not 4 px short.
- On a short window the cab card scrolls, so the list above it keeps
room for a few rows.
- Map legend: a title for each part, the texts in the text colour, the
speed bands said in full ("up to 5 km/h faster than the AI").
- Timeline: the key names every mark (station, W6, signal passed,
coupling, autopilot, command), the row of marks has its name, and the
mark under the pointer is told in a label. The key no longer sits on
the station plates.
- Cab panel: titled parts (controls, brakes, traction, lights, devices);
the AI's speed and the next limit no longer run into the controllers;
the lights of each end with the signal they show, and the one they are
to show when it differs; the devices in three groups (power, driving,
safety) instead of one long list.
- The stations, the signals passed, the horn points, the couplings, the
consists and the timetable progress of the user's train are kept until
a read adds something; the views asked for them every frame, which on
a long session with many trains took the window down. A read that adds
nothing no longer counts as a change.
- The lights are checked against the lamps the vehicles at the ends have
(written by the simulator from now on), as its driver checks them: Pc 1
without the upper headlight, with the auxiliary lamps, Pc 5 with the
rear-end signals. Only while the user drives: the autopilot's lights
are its own.
- A train off the platform counts at both ends: its head past the stop
point as well as its tail before the platform's end.
- A recording without the couplings keeps the timetable for any vehicle
of the user.
- A signal passed at danger is ringed on the map only once it was.
- In the tapes window a black box opens on a click or Enter, not when
the arrow keys go over it.
- The viewer's screenshot of a window not laid out saves nothing and
still closes.
The simulator writes a black box of each run to physicslog/*.blackbox
(blackbox_doc.md in the maszyna repository). Three new projects read and
show it:
- Eu07.BlackBox: the reader of the records, the recording as a whole
(the user's vehicle and consist at a time, the timetable shown, the
progress along it with arrival and departure delays, whether the
train stood at the platform), the light patterns Pc 1, Pc 2, Pc 5 and
Tb 1 with the ones the run asks for, and a summary of the driving.
- Eu07.BlackBox.Views: the player window, with the scenery map (tracks,
signals, W4 stop points with their heading and W32, the train, the
cameras), the cab, the timeline of speed against the AI's reference,
the events, the timetable and the summary.
- Eu07.BlackBox.Viewer: the window on its own, with options for the
time, following the train and screenshots.
The tapes window of the starter lists the black boxes of each session
beside the Hasler tapes and opens them in the player.
