OR guys, is it possible to customise the keyboard commands yet, please.

I had a particular setup for MSTS for 9 years and would like to use them in OR.

cheers,
Mike.

Not yet, but I've been laying some of the ground work for that to be added in recent development versions.

Hello.

A small question on the topic of plug-ins. Will they, for example, to use within Open Rails routes and models of another simulators?

If I understand your question, "plug-ins" will be specific to Open Rails ONLY and content that can be used with Open Rails. Our vision is to allow 3rd parties to customize the behavior of basic functions like physics or signals to conform to their local railways or era. This is not going to be available in the near future.

Hello.

Thank you very much for your quick response.

I have prepared a Spanish translation of help file Open Rails. Who do I have to get in touch to publish, if possible also on my page.

Thanks.

Thank you James, switching between TS2010, MSTS and OR. Is really mashing the old braincells up, trying to remember the correct keystrokes.

Thanks for the reply.

Mike,
The last two pages of the user doc have a neat printable table of all key commands for Open Rails. That should help in the short term.

Well, finally after a long struggle, i abandon Open Rails at the moment. I tried to update the OS to Windows 7 to see if that fixed the problem with frames, but Win 7 uses DirectX 10/11, is impossible to uninstall to return to Directx0.9c. Also, Windows 7 uses .NET Framework from 3.5 or more common 4.0, which is more advanced and powerful, but requires rewriting part of the code by OR, including support for global language.

And I'm not ready to abandon Windows 7. My computer runs much better than Vista (and XP is too old). I can only hope that sometime Open Rails developers make it compatible not only with the latest hardware, also the latest software ...

Sorry for my poor english and thanks for all.

Greetings.

As mentioned before there are plenty of us running OpenRails v360 on Windows 7 64-bit without any problems.

The screen shots in these two threads were taken on a machine using a DirectX 11 capable graphics card and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 -

I suggest you make sure that DirectX is up to date on your machine as the first step -

This is the problem that I get installing this package:



The message says:

Internal system error.

See the log file DirectX.log and DXError.log in the Windows folder to determine problem

In the end, the setup program closes and says there was an error. As indicated by these files, I think I have a problem with the registry key. Anyway, attached files here in case someone sees something.

I have to say I can not run Open Rails. MSTS But yes, as always.

Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience.

Hello again.

I solved the problem by reconstructing the missing registry key as explained here:

Fortunately I have not had to format. Open Rails works. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Greetings.

Taking about .NET and wINDOWS 7.

As I understand, .NET is not fully backward compatable. In my W7, I have both .NET Framework 1.1 and 4 installed.

I know when I was still running XP Pro, I needed three different versions installed.

Yep, you can install as many versions of the .Net framework alongside each other as you like, without ill effects. That way, compatibility between the different versions is a non-issue, because each program can load the version of the framework it prefers.

That seems to be the case.

Well, I fell out of OR stuff for a while there...

Here's a picture of my De-bug screen shot.

And my computer is an Acer Aspire T180 with 512MB RAM and a Nvidia GeForce 6100 nForce 405 Card computer
