It tells you your Driver Achievement Level in a bar graph form. In your case you have an achievement level of about 0.5. ( about half way between award level 0 and award level 1 ) This will increase as you successfully complete career scenarios.

I wish they had made a better way to do the fly-outs. The type is still way too small and I'm getting tired of having to keep squinting. Dern whipper-snappers!

Thanks. Wow, I'm a .5!

I don't recall ever doing a career scenario.

Instead of simply adding a number to the left and right, DTG felt it necessary to add what appears to be buttons? *!rolleyes!*

Thanks for the answer though, as I was thinking the buttons were supposed to slide, but were broken! !**duh*!!
Cheers!

Me too. I guess the "buttons" are actually medals or some other shiny award.
This should be under the "career" tab anyway.

That's a me too from me also. I figured my score was not high enough for it to move. Mine looks just like Gary's, 0.5

Actually I do not play too many scenarios period. Grabbed some from the workshop and most were just basic point A to B's. I end up writing my own and play them while testing them. Then of course there is the route building. Don't get credit for that only time in.

I think the assumption must have been that it's obvious what the disc things are, although clearly this isn't the case!

If you look at the Profile tab the disc/medals/whatever are repeated all over the place, so I guess once you've seen that screen it might make more sense. Obviously it won't if you never look at the Profile tab!

My profile information is all wrong.
I can't possibly have the progress it is showing, abd it says I have 74 unique scenarios completed and 75 unique scenarios failed, although I have not played more than 2 or 3 career scenarios total.

Wouldn't be at all surprised! I think it's partially mixing up Career and normal scenario information on the same screen.

The reason it's showing the favourite route and loco in my screenshot is because I wrote a couple of Workshop scenarios for the ECML route using the Class 365 and obviously spent a while testing them... !**duh*!!

I've noticed that too.
I now have a huge number of scenarios that I supposedly didn't complete, when I know I did.
In fact my ratio of completed to uncompleted scenarios is crazy. It's now saying I've hardly completed any at all, when it's the other way around.
If it wasn't for my XP and medals, most of which are Gold, a person might think I'm a noob. *!greengrin!*

Also it says my preferred loco is the BNSF ES44AC, although I don't recall ever driving it (not sure I even have it), and anyway I spend 99% of my time in 1950s diesels.

Come on. let's try to think like simulators: buttons always worked on longjohns and flys, why not on a user interface??? Personally, I would have used zippers, though. **!!2cents!!**
