Missing train length info in other windows

Post by Dark-Water »

Hello,

It is possible to add the train length information to other windows

e.g.
- Train information window (click on a train, click on the sheet button)
- Train overview list (click on the train button in the top menu)

BTW: The length information has no tool-tip, so new players don't unterstand what the value (after the train) mean

And it its possible to add a indicator, on the "Train overview window", that show the user that a train station is to short for the current train
-> it would be help on train upgrade from single engine to double engine,

have a nice day

I think that is very difficult to achieve, as stations can have arbitrary shapes, and one platform can be long enough, while the next platform can be too short. I think something like a warning (like the negative income warning) would be better for that.
