Of course, in reality, the signalman should be able to see the whole area under his control at once if he so chooses - the number of monitors vs the number of overview screens should always allow this. In Simsig, on the other hand, there's no way (is there?) of spreading a paged sim over more than one monitor without opening a second instance of a sim and running it as a client. I find the ability to spread a scrolly sim over three monitors invaluable when running a busy sim single-handed - New Street fits perfectly, with just enough room to leave the simplifier open at one end .I'm also one of the minority who prefers paged. I do see a place for scrolly, but I think it is a little too overused. I certainly think sims of IECC areas should be paged like the actual area.
