New "Operations" UI
In addition to the new TLR systems, we've begun a major update of the User Interface. Initially, this is focussed upon the “Properties” and “View Details” dialogs.
New User Interface Windows
Updates in the initial stage include the following.
Driver Control Center
Minor updates to the user interface providing access to new dialogs. This window can now also be opened and edited in S20 (not in Classic).

Activity Logs
This is an entirely new, purpose-built, logging system providing detailed information about every aspect of your railroad operations.
The logs provide player-readable information, avoiding the inclusion of unreadable or spammy debug output
Each of the new UIs shows a time-stamped list of all activities that are related to the currently viewed item.
e.g.
30-NOV-2022 17:40:25, "Dispatched JR Justin to deliver Steelcoil 1x2m to MISO58 TRACTION S.A"
30-NOV-2022 17:40:25, "Driver JR Justin began execution of 'Navigate To' command"
30-NOV-2022 17:51:23, "Driver JR Justin began execution of 'Unload' command"
30-NOV-2022 17:51:44, "JR Justin completed Steelcoil 1x2m delivery to MISO58 TRACTION S.A"
Logs can be filtered, searched, and even copied to your clipboard.
