- 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.
