Show route set in cargo/passenger/parcel contract maps.

Something I'd love to see is a way to show the route that's already been set when looking at contracts. Say a screen that shows the set route on screen 6, plus the destinations for all the contracts on offer. It would make choosing contracts a little easier. Any chance?

Showing "The" route may be a bit difficult, if you have some more contracts running simultaneously. If helps to press SHIFT-6 to highlight all the connections, so you may have a rough idea.

Sorry, I meant the route that is currently set via the F6 screen, not the optimum route for individual cargoes.

Something like this?

This is almost ready as an OXP. The only question is, do I make it a piece of equipment you have to purchase on top of the ANA, or just make it a feature of the ANA.

For those you want to test this out, here's a link: DisplayCurrentCourse.oxz

Unless you think it'll confuse people I'd say make it part of the core game if possible.

Well, actually you have to have at least the ANA installed for any lines to show up at all, so it's really a case of whether an extra piece of equipment is require, or leaving it to be just a function of the ANA. For the time being this is what I've implemented, but it would be easy to change.

It should be a feature of ANA. It's not like players couldn't track it "by hand", so it's handy but not overpowering. May crowd the display after you get 10+ contracts like I used to have when doing contracts heavily.
