If you are struggling with getting to grips with certain sims Maxand have you considered joining a multiplayer session? Especially if you were able to use Teamspeak at the same time. Other players would be around to help you and you'd only have a small area to control, say Weston panel on Bristol.

I will admit that was how I learnt to play Simsig was by joining multiplayer games. Other players in the game where more than willing to share there expertise with me.

To Forest Pines: I assume what you mean is that you have become used to playing SimSig without an Overview and don't miss it.

Curious about where you fit the other windows you use during play on this smaller screen.
Not at all. I almost always use the overview on sims that have it - the only ones I don't use it on are Wembley and Euston. I use a fairly default-looking layout: the control box and Messages at the top, the Overview below them and the main view below that.

It gave me yet another idea. What if it was possible to scroll not just from area to area but from train to train? A bit like scanning the radio dial - as you hold the button down, it automatically finds each radio station in turn. Naturally you'd have to be able to do this in either direction. So much easier than scrolling using keyboard/mouse and watching trains flash by. In that case you wouldn't really need to rely on the Overview to jump to them. What do the developers think of this idea? :)
I like the sound of this. Quite often I'll miss out trains when scanning. Perhaps a little tooltip could appear when cycling through each train detailing the train's status (stopped, underway etc - not speed) and next timetabled location?
