The OR team is entirely volunteers, not paid developers, so we may not move at the pace you expect or require. This issue has occured in only a small number of about 4,000 downloads in the first weeks. Until very recently we couldn't reproduce the error on anyone's system on the team. Now that we have, we're looking into the issue. Once we have something, we'll post it on the boards.Chris

Open Rails looks very promising..since we lost MSTS 2, this is the most promising rail sim i have seen, since both RS and RW are very complex when it comes to changing or adding anything...and both have become very much payware add on environemtns and I prefer the traddional freeware sharing of long standing traddion re games and sims and add ons from the community. It is so complex to make anything for RW that it is a professionals only world and i would rather support community efforts with the generous and sharing feeling.
Open Rails has some immediate imrpovements in terms of the visual impact and the development team is working hard to improve many aspects of it, and it will run much more detailed equipment and will have many other benefits from what i see from the posts and notes about it...
two pics from OR of default or current MSTS routes and equipment to give a feel:
this is the Default EUROPE2 route run by OR
and this is the Durango Silverton Add on Route by Charlie:
Lights and smokea re not enabled yet.
Charlies i had that error and it turned out to be use of an engine that was not compatible ie one of Capt Bazza's that had a tender that was in the form of a ENG instead of a WAG. Replacing that file with the correct format fixed that error and OR runs very happily now. Check your equipment. OR wont run with ANY such altered format equipment i think, but i am just a tester, not a part of the team. They do the best they can i think re replies on bugs, and as posted, they are all volunteers and doing all they can.Last edited by CrisGer; 06-07-2010, 11:51.Admin

I dont Expect a Response From OR. Why Should You?
Using the default Marias Pass with default equipment is the way to go for proper testing as long as the Marias Pass Route has it's misplaced sound sources fixed. There are a bunch and really, how could you ever tell that the presence of these errors could affect the OR Sim? All activity and route files must be tested by a full error free run of all Route_Riter AND TSUtils test routines.
It would also be a good idea to get a complete run of all ConBuilder tests. I'm using an old version 2.4.5
but newer versions are probably much better at finding errors on a users system.
This will ensure a solid platform for testing.
I mean if all test components are not known' to be error free how can there be a valid test.
On the subject of these 'complaints' about a 'response';
I have absolutly no expectations of a response from OR if I post a comment or a 'Bug Report'.
I do not expect either "a response" or in fact, any acknowledgment of any kind!
It's quite enough for me, thank you, knowing that members of the OR team DO peruse these fora.
I would like to see Nels archive the old! MSTS-X forum (down at the bottom of the MSTS section) and substitute "The OR Forum"
.
(psst, Nels, ask the team what they would like for a forum name)
This would make life easier for the OR team, one place to look for bug reports and please, no need for the team to respond to individules.
This is preliminay alpha development stage for goodness sake! If a team member had a question about a certain 'bug report' this would be the place to do it but please, no individule hand holding. At this stage of development I expect bug and will accuratly report them with all relevant system information so to aid the team. No Reply Necessary.............Vince ..............

How does one know that the responder to a bug report is "Joe Spring Butt" who has to post a reply to every message he reads or a member of the OR team? Recommend that the OR Team put somthing in their forum signature to indicate who they are.CharlesComment

The members of the OR team are listed on the web page http://www.openrails.org/Credits.html
It may help if members of the team added their name to their forum signature. In fact, it would help if all members added their name since user names often are not related to their proper name.Last edited by kraus; 06-07-2010, 14:27.Comment

Got a Bug? Thank you for the report. Bye!
If one does not expect a response then why would one care?
Just posting the bug report is enough.
I would recommend the team just acknowledge and mayby a 'thanks' but help?
I don't think they, the OR team should bother at this stage of development.
I'm fine with just posting a report knowing that they read it and hopefully it helps them. But to expect individule help? No.............Vince ..............

charles,
A user fixed his problem with the following http://www.elvastower.com/forums/ind..._0&#entry49105
Another user fixed the same problem with a reinstall of OR.
However, in our testing neither is guaranteed to fix the problem.Chris

Vince, have you looked at the bottom of the forum listings?

Moving day!
On further review, moving this thread down to the Open Rails Discussion forum since that's what it's really about. You guys looking for customer service keep in mind there ain't any, if this was a commercial project you wouldn't even know it exists yet in the current stage of development.sigpicComment
