Panel.cfg
The panel.cfg file allows to create 2D panels by defining which elements to use, like speedometers, pressure gauges etc., and where they are to be placed.

Overview
The panel.cfg file is a plain text file encoded in any arbitrary encoding, however, UTF-8 with a byte order mark is the preferred choice. The parsing model for numbers is Loose, however, you are encouraged to produce Strict output nonetheless. The file is required to be located inside the train folder and is expected to be named panel.cfg. The file is interpreted on a per-line basis, from top to bottom.
The panel.cfg has been superseded by the panel2.cfg. You can achieve the full functionality of the panel.cfg and more by using the panel2.cfg instead. If both files are present in the train folder, the panel2.cfg has precedence over the panel.cfg.
The cab is rendered as an overlay. This means that the cab will always appear in front of scenery objects. This is intentional, because this way, rain, walls and other obstructing objects cannot be accidentally rendered inside the cab. Furthermore, lighting in the cab is different than in the scenery. While the ambient brightness is reflected in the cab, the ambient color is not, and the cab always appears as if reflecting white light.
Syntax
Each line in the file can be empty (or solely consist of white spaces) and will be ignored, can mark the beginning of a new section or contain key-value pairs inside a section. All key-value pairs relate to the last section opened.
A new section is opened by starting the line with an opening bracket (U+005B) and ending it with a closing bracket (U+005D). The text in-between the brackets indicates the name of the section and is case-insensitive. White spaces at the beginning and the end of the line are ignored, as well as at the beginning and the end of the name of the section. Thus, the beginning of the section has the following form:
[NameOfTheSection]
[NameOfTheSection]
A key-value pair is indicated by giving the key, an equals sign (U+003D) and then the value. The key is case-insensitive. White spaces at the beginning and the end of the line are ignored, as well as in front and after the equals sign. Alternatively, white spaces surrounding the key and the value are ignored. Thus, a key-value pair as the following form:
[NameOfTheKey]
NameOfTheKey = Value
Some values are further split into multiple parts, separated by commas (U+002C). Instead of a comma, a colon (U+003A) can be used interchangeably.
You can use comments anywhere at the end of a line. A comment is started by a semicolon (U+003B). Comments, if present, are stripped away from all lines before these are processed.
The Panel Section
[View]
The View section defines the viewing angle conditions. Only one View section is expected in a panel.cfg file.
[View]
This starts the section
Yaw
Yaw = ValueInDegrees
ValueInDegrees: A floating-point number measured in degrees indicating the yaw. Positive values represent right, negative ones left. The default value is 0.
Pitch
Pitch = ValueInDegrees
ValueInDegrees: A floating-point number measured in degrees indicating the pitch. Positive values represent up, negative ones down. The default value is 0.
Defines the pitch of the view. Any value entered will be additionally subtract by 11 degrees, resulting in a slight downward pitch if ValueInDegrees is 0. If this key-value pair is not used, the final viewing angle will be -11 degrees.
The PressureIndicator Section
This section creates a pressure indicator. You can use as many of these sections as required.
[PressureIndicator]
[PressureIndicator]
- The following spelling variations can be used: PressureIndicator, PressureGauge, PressureMeter, 圧力計
Type
This starts the section.
Type = Value
Value: The type of pressure indicator to use. The default value is 0.
Options for Value: 0: The pressure indicator is a gauge. 1: The pressure indicator is an LED.
File:Illustration pressuregauge.png File:Illustration pressuregauge led.png
This defines the type of the pressure indicator. While both the gauge type and the LED type indicators can show two different pressures, this is not generally useful for the LED type as the upper LED shape will block the view into the lower LED shape.
- The following spelling variations can be used: Type, 形態
