Quick question though. Is there any plans to have an option to disable the Income/Transfer/Loss figures that rise from the trains as they finish unloading. It seems that when there is enough vehicles on screen to do so, it does cause a monumental slowdown on the system.

As you know, if you click a train, it will give a quick GUI overview of where it calls, with little numbers over all its stops.

Is it possible, that when you click on a station, it gives a similar overview, but for all trains that call there - this would quickly help me identify where this station has direct links to, and spot any missing useful links for passengers to get to and from there.

Isn't this more or less what the cargo dest link graph overlay does?
The departure boards can also be quite useful here.
My todo list is currently very long, so developing this sort of feature is not likely to occur soon.
If you/someone else can develop a reasonable quality patch to implement it that may be a more pragmatic way to go.

uhm, that button already exists? at every station at the lower right you have little icons that open a list of all vehicles of that type that stop there (this has been in the game for years now)

Timetable is said to be incomplete although it doesn't seem like. My trams use dummy stations to find the right way but this prevents me from using said options. Could it be missing wait time at the go through station what makes timetable incomplete?

In vanilla, when I play at 2x UI zoom, vehicle payment animated texts cause a noticeable lag sometimes.

Or they're a symptom of something else lagging, not the cause.

Or it's just a coincidence.

But eh. Empiricism

I do not use Cargodist - I found it had a negative impact on CPU usage.

ino wrote:Now, I just realised this feature was added in trunk, and I am unable to figure out what it is so please JGR enlighten me. What is "through-load" ?

Really this needs an explanatory GIF. I will look into making one next week perhaps.
In short it's a different way of handling load/unload of long freight trains in short through platforms.
In my opinion it's more realistic and useful than the default behaviour.

You can try it out by turning on the advanced loading mode features setting. It adds an extra platform stop location/mode for freight trains.
