Train Speed Tracker

Measure how your trains really run on every line and find out what holds them back: the track, the train, the station spacing or the signals. WHAT IT SHOWS - Lines: one row per rail line, like the game's line statistics: trains, average speed, top speed vs. track limit, efficiency, engine use, seconds lost and a status (stations too close, slow acceleration, much braking, train slower than track, track limits speed, waiting for signals, top speed unused, near optimal). Click ! for the reasons with their numbers. - Line details: every section from station to station, the speed along the whole line with the track speed limit, and per section a bar of what the train was doing: at the track limit, at its own top speed, accelerating, braking, slower or stopped. - Trains: speed, peak speed, time and distance from 0 to peak, the speed steps every 10 km/h and the slowdowns with their x/y/z position, so you know which piece of track to fix. - Compare trains: every train you can buy is tried on the measured track for an interval of your choice, with trains needed, cost, income, profit per year and the difference to your current train. - Vehicle window: a "Speed & acceleration" section with the last run and its chart. - Quick start tab that explains every tab. HOW TO USE 1. Enable the mod for a new game or an existing save. 2. Click the "km/h" button in the Mods button area (top-left, or radial menu -> Mods). 3. Let the trains run a few minutes: each train is measured from its next stop on. SETTINGS The Settings tab shows how much data is kept in memory and lets you choose the runs kept per train, the chart sample spacing, the max samples per run, whether finished runs are written to stdout.txt, and clear all recorded data. Nothing is stored in the savegame. CHANGELOG Revision 2 - "Where the time goes" now shows the time spent: each bar splits the measured time of a section by what the train was doing (at the track limit, at its own top speed, accelerating, braking, slower or stopped). Before it showed the time lost against a train running at the track limit, which was easy to misread: a train cruising at 90 km/h on a 100 km/h track for half a section showed only about 10% grey, now about half of the bar. - The time lost is still shown under each bar, in the "Lost s" columns and in the ! reasons; the verdicts are unchanged. - Fixed: "Header#7" column title, cut table headers and a help line breaking mid-sentence. Revision 1 - First release: Lines, Trains, Compare trains, Settings and Quick start tabs, speed along the line, verdicts with reasons, vehicle window section. The mod only reads the game state. It builds nothing and does not change your save, so it can be added or removed at any time.
