v360 thread

[kox]

Are there any bigger news about openrails? There is a bit of silence since the v360.

BTW do OR team need new programmers now?

Kox,
We're working away, up to v433 encompassing lots of improvements and exciting enhancements around Cabviews.

Open Rails is always interested in new programmers. C# programming experience is a must and working in the realtime game environment (XNA) is highly prefered. Willingness to contribute on a regular basis is extremely important. Please fill out the volunteer form on the Open Rails website - http://openrails.org/coders.html to get the process started.

I haven't experence in c# (just a bit from school), but i'm java programmer (and c# is the copy of java), and i have a little knowledge in electric traction physics.
I've tried that form few weeks ago, but i didn't get any reaction, and the form don't give any response for example "message sent successfully". You sure it works?

Very interested in what you have done on the cabviews. I have done two backgrounds for cabviews using 1024x1024 ace images with an aspect ratio of 5x8 to suit 1920x1200 or 2560x1600 monitors without aspect ratio distortion. They look very nice but I am getting a bit ahead of the game and am longing to find out how this problem has been solved.

Just thought I'd add a little additional support for Open Rails.
The dev team is actually working 'round the clock, 24/7 on the project. There isn't a day that doesn't go by that somebody hasn't posted a bit of progress.
Personally, I sleep days and am up nights and find improvement or changes at 3am that need to be attended to.

We may not always post publicly but, rest assured, we're all still working hard to make a better Railroading Sim.

Have fun!

When could we expect the next release before or after new years ?

Be patient - This is a project by volunteers who are doing us a great favour by building us this improvement of the original simulator. I don't think they need the added pressure of forced or expected date deadlines.

We're not sure yet; my personal feeling is it'll be January, but nothing's decided yet and things can - and do - change.

[drjayyy]

i'm not asking for an estimate just a "guesstimate".I've been playing MSTS a while and know better not ask for a specific date. Let the development team take as much time as they need.

[PORU333]

I may have missed the discussion of this, so forgive me, Coming back into MSTS and wanting to give the latest ORTS a try, I came into this issue.

[twpol]

You probably clicked "Resume" instead of "Start".

[PORU333]

Heh, that, and I didn't click the path I wanted. Whoops.

This is what I get for not paying attention and for being away for awhile.

error with one model

Hello.

I wonder why this happens. In MSTS works perfectly. I can not make screen captures when OR is in full screen (by pressing PRINT SCREEN).

Thank you very much.

Print Screen works perfectly fine in fullscreen here, but it is not something Open Rails handles, it is handled by the OS, so problems with it would be down to that and/or graphics drivers (I'm using Windows 7 64bit with an NVidia card).

One question - is the mandatory usage of the default track sounds (internal and external) a temporary measure? It doesn't sound particularly good, to be quite honest, which is why a lot of route authors omit non-stock based track sounds altogether (and some of us edit the route's sms files to contain nothing).

Also, it seems as though freight shapes disappear at some angles... ?
