Hello Mike,

For the time being, Open Rails is using the Westinghouse braking system used in the United States until the software can eventually support other braking systems used in other countries through perhaps plugins.

Hiya Walter,

oh i see mate, fair enough then.

No doubt vacuum brakes will be implemented as the software progresses.

Thank you for the information.

cheers,
Mike.

Hello.

This is the MakingTracks Irish Enterprise route v2, Belfast - Dublin. There are embankment shapes missing from under the trackbed in quite a few areas of the route.

When run from within OR, but all is ok running in MSTS.

regards,
Mike.

Level of Detail for this Shape's in .sd file?

Greetings.

Hello.

My problem is the poor framerate, since the v.022 his decreased a lot. This is the content of my Open Rails Log.txt:

My system run in Vista, DirectX11. It may be that the cause of poor performance?

Greetings.

The shapes show up okay in MSTS, so i would think they should also be there in OR.

cheers,
Mike.

That's no help for those trying to work out why they're not. :P

Have you put in the ORTS options World Objects Density to 10?

[Redcoat_1812]

There are only four things i can say.........................

1. The route is complete in MSTS

2.Route Riter gives the route a clean bill of health

3.In OR the route is not displayed correctly, a fault which occurs with other routes.

4. Yes the World Objects Density is set to default in OR ( 10 ).

cheers,
Mike.

I'm not sure why DirectX 11 would have anything to do with it if OpenRails is using a game engine that uses DirectX 9?

Here are some screen of OR taken on a Vista/SP2 64 machine which is DirectX 11 capable -

Here are some more screen shots this time of OpenRails running on a Windows 7 64 machine also a DirectX 11 capable OS with a DirectX 11 capable video card-

Unless I missed it have you posted the specs on your machine, that will go a long way in trying to determine your performance issues.

Mike.

I haven't loaded it yet in v360 but with v128, Cascade Crossing had a lot of missing objects just like displayed in your screen shot.

I did load the Santa Fe Seligman route in v360 a few days ago and that seemed to be fine, go figure?

[Redcoat_1812]

Thank you for confirming that Dan, i will stop making these reports now.

As they are obviously annoying other members of the OR team.

regards,
Mike.

Hi Mike,

I don't know why you made the last remark. Just for the record, Dan has been providing very helpful analysis about OR, but he is not currently a member of the team. The Open Rails team is interested in hearing all feedback concerning the software and project.

[Redcoat_1812]

I beg your pardon, my assumption was incorrect.

Both in regards the OR teams apathy and in regards Dan's status.

regards,
Mike.

E-Locos

Find that e-locos will run in routes which are not electrified and their pantos can be raised, albeit not to their full height, you already know.

The default ACELA's throttle needs looking into, requiring 40+% before it moves. Other e-locos are sluggish too even when running in electrified routes.
