Train Station Incorrect/Unclear Display Link Data
thegrandslam2002 opened this issue ยท 1 comments
Describe the Bug
Using a display link on a train station produces unclear information. Given a circuit of three stations, a display board using the wildcard character "*" might look like this:
ETA Train Next Station Current Station
now T1 Station 2 Station 1
2 min T1 Station 3 Station 2
4 min T1 Station 1 Station 3
When using platform column size 0 (a setting which itself is unclear - as best I can tell, there is no difference between any value over 1), the issue becomes even worse:
ETA Train Next Station
now T1 Station 2
2 min T1 Station 3
4 min T1 Station 1
At a glance, this schedule appears to say T1 is currently at station 2, when in fact, it is at station 1. Even upon closer inspection, figuring out where the train actually is requires you to know the train's route already.
Reproduction Steps
- Create a basic train loop with multiple stations
- Connect a display link to a board and attach it to the station
- Set the board to display a train station summary and set the filter to "*"
- Optionally, set platform column size to 0 to see the second scenario
Expected Result
The train station columns should be swapped for wildcard boards so that they read like real-world display boards - showing location first, then optionally destination. They should not, however, be swapped for filtered stations, as when the board covers a specific station's trains naming that station repeatedly would not make sense.
