Simutrans Manual - Display Settings Dialog

The display settings dialog allows you to change the visual aspects of Simutrans.

The display settings dialog

You can set a lot of options to determine what Simutrans will display, and how it should be displayed:

  • Show grid: Check to have a grid displayed on the ground.
  • Undergound view: Toggle underground view for underground construction.
  • Day and Night change: Darken the map at night, show lights.
  • Brightness: lightens/darkens the display.
  • Scroll Speed: Determines how quickly Simutrans scrolls the game screen.
  • Scroll Inverse: This inverts the scrolling direction
  • Pedestrains in towns:  Show random pedestrians in towns.
  • Pedestrians at stops: Show pedestrians leaving stations if a vehicle arrives.

The rest of the window is made up of system reporting information:

  • Frame Time: actual time of last frame, scheduled frame time
    Idle: if your computer is fast enough, Simutrans won't use all CPU time. The idle time tells you how much reserves there are.
  • FPS: Frames per second. Can be imprecise if sim loops are very low.
  • Sim loops: finished simulations loops during last second. Should be 3 or higher. If it stays constantly at 2 or lower, you reached the max of your system and Simutrans might not be able to process all aspects of the simulation anymore, i.e. generation of passengers and products may be omitted at times.

Up to date with Simutrans 102 and pak.hajo 1.05
