Settings Tab

Looking at comments on steam/reddit and also several PMs, it seems people want things like despawn blocker to be togglable in-game.

I was thinking maybe a settings tab on the road customiser? Possibly with nested levels of settings (as time permits) such as:

• Difficulty
  • Traffic Jams
  • Traffic Pace
• Pedestrian Roads
  • Bus Stops (what most people are focussing on when using the 'disable central lane' option)
  • Allow trucks
  • Allow residents
  • Note: the global options would still exist and be used by default, the in-game options would override them

Despawn and speeds would be rebranded as difficulty settings...

Traffic Jams

• Easy (more despawn)
• Normal (game default)
• Hard (no despawn)

Aside: Auto-despawn of confused vehicles is available via ARIS Remove Stuck Vehicles mod, as is manual despawn of any vehicle (via vehicle info panel).

Traffic Pace

• Easy (fast vehicles/pedestrians)
• Normal (game default)
• Hard (realistic speeds)

I'll think about this later. I need a break from the UI :P

I'll add a shortcut for the despawn and maybe the realistic speeds in the next release, though.

Other global defaults could include:

• Default speeds for different types of road (eg. select road type, then select speed)
• Localisation - choose country/region to get it's roads / signs / speeds / etc.
