ETCS circular speed gauge
21+
-------------------------
22+
23+
You can add to the cabview a
24+
circular speed gauge accordingly to the European standard train control
25+
system ETCS.

.. admonition:: For content developers
33+
34+
The gauge is added by the insertion of a block like the following
35+
into the .cvf file::
36+
37+
Digital (
38+
Type ( SPEEDOMETER DIGITAL )
39+
Style ( NEEDLE )
40+
Position ( 160 255 56 56 )
41+
ScaleRange ( 0 250 )
42+
Units ( KM_PER_HOUR )
43+
)
44+
45+
It is also possible to display the full ETCS display using the following block
46+
instead::
47+
48+
ScreenDisplay (
49+
Type ( ORTS_ETCS SCREEN_DISPLAY )
50+
Position ( 280 272 320 240 )

Units ( KM_PER_HOUR )
52+
Parameters (
53+
Mode FullSize
54+
)
55+
)
56+
57+
The following DMI size variants are available: FullSize (displays the whole DMI), SpeedArea
58+
(displays only the left part with information about distance and speed) and PlanningArea
59+
(displays only the planning area and navigation buttons).
60+
61+
The information displayed in the DMI is controlled via the TCS script. For more details,
62+

Cab Letter-Boxing
29+
----------------
30+
31+
OR manages not only cab interiors using 2D images in a MSTS-compatible
32+
way, but also supports 3D models. Most 2D cab images follow MSTS practice,
33+
being 1024 x 768 pixels to suit monitors with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
34+
35+
.. image:: images/options-2dstretch_1.png
36+
37+
So, the problem arises -- how to display these 4:3 cabs on a 16:9 or 16:10
38+
monitor?
39+
40+
One possibility is to enlarge these images to fill the width of wider monitors,
41+
as shown in the image below.
42+
43+
In doing so, we lose a portion from the top and bottom of the image.
44+
You can use the Up and Down Arrow keys to pan and reveal these missing portions.
45+
46+
.. image:: images/options-2dstretch_2.png
47+
48+
Instead of enlarging the image, OR can also 'letterbox' it by showing the full height
49+
and filling the missing space with black bars.
50+
You can activate this mode in-game by pressing Ctrl+1.
