any help would be awesome
Thanks

Online 		You can open multiple windows and then place them side by side, that works fairly well for me.

Online 		I think what you mean is eliminating cross-section divides - (lines with a letter), the answer to which is no i'm afraid. This is how the sim is designed (including in real life).

Depending on how your display is set up, you should be able to stretch windows of scrolly sims across your three windows.

4 posts 		I managed to do it, on the Victoria LUL line it gives you an option, scroll is an option which turned it on for me... weird

This is the exception to the rule. IIRC Victoria LUL is the only sim to offer this feature.

Victoria LUL is very unusual, in that it gives you the option for full scrolly or an imitation of a paged layout. Fenchurch St is the only other simulation to do this, all of the others have a fixed layout style. Of course, you can still create new view windows and move them around your screen(s) to your heart's content.

Online 		To do the switchable layout involves a fair amount of extra work. Layouts are generally designed to be a compromise between the people that want to fit a lot onto one screen and those that want it spread across multiple screens.

Online 		Can't recall why I came to do Victoria line that way, but it was a lot of work as has been mentioned: you have to draw the screen at least twice.

4 posts 		Does seem like a tedious thing to continuously draw them out, good work either way, loving the simulation so far

When doing this, is it possible to zoom in or out of the sim, to make it either bigger or smaller?

Can't change the size within SimSig its self. I don't know how windows DIP settings or anything like that would work

You can't change the zoom within SimSig, changing your screen resolution would have the same effect, although that's not something you'd want to do every couple of minutes. You can open an Overview window (Show-> Overview) which has a zoomed-out view of the entire area.
