New Tracks and Under Tracks Ramps

[OTTODAD]

My friend Norbert Rieger is working on new tracks and switches for MSTS and then ORTS, having already created ramps for placing under multiple tracks which when running parallel with each other have different elevations.

Search the TS.com File Library for Rieger.

Here are his new DBtracks he has created already:

These are European ones to add to the US Scalerail ones, but having I presume illuminated at night switch indicators would use them in US routes too !

I hope they will be available for MSTS and ORTS while I am still alive !

Those look nice. I went to the page listed in the link but didn't see anything about tracks just other stuff which was not available for download. Any further info on this would be nice.

So far pictures is all there is.

But he has said in an e-mail that it will be many months if not years before the MSTS / ORTS versions will be available.

In the meantime his berms and ramps to match certain X-Tracks sections are a god-sent for routes like the MSTS OS-KLN which is being worked on by Frans, using many parallel tracks at varying elevations.

That gives me an idea. Going to test it in ORTS and hope that it's 3000 km tracks are not going to break it !

Did that and is looking good, albeit the loading window did not close and had to minimize it to the Task Bar.

Looking forward to stressing the next release of ORTS !

If you mean the black window with white text, that's meant to stay open; Open Rails reports the type of objects it is loading and any errors there while the game is running. The main window should work fine on top of it, but I guess it might get distracting.

That's the problem. In the case of the OS-KLN the main window is not on top of the black window as it is running other routes, like the Wupper-Express-11 and my Gold-Spike-X.

Alt-Tab shows it in the background.

@mdeming
These objects are available now on trainsim.com (search for "Bahntrasse")

NR_Bahntrasse v1 are static objects,
NR_Bahntrasse v2 are track objects

Both projects are not intended to be used exclusively with ORTS. My idea I mentioned to Otto is simply that it is worth to continue these long-term infrastructure projects because ORTS will make the program environment open-ended.
