Another thing: this is a siemens desiro dmu what have combined throttle and retarder (dynamic brake) controller, and seperate airbrake in real, and in msts too. But here in orts throttle isn't combined it's just simple throttle.

These kind of things are on the TO DO, just we haven't gotten to them. Thanks

BTW if you watch, that ai train also stops at the other side of station... on a level crossing

Can you try it with a short consist (say just one engine) to see where does it stop?

Regarding the car spawner problem in the Bernina route: I am downloading the route now and will give it a try. Carlo, Could you please tell me which .w file has introduced the problem?

That's not hugely helpful, unfortunately. Could you at least provide links to download the content and which activity you're using so that others can actually investigate.

It's freeware, but not a tiny route. It have 800+ km rail network.

The main install is "alföld 5" at the bottom of page and the updates are 5.x -> 5.x

For rolling stock and additional things (however xtracks and newroads and the updates are pretty common, so probably you need only the ActHU rolling stock packages), use the numbered links at alföld 5 download.
The activity is in default package, called "2017 szemely". The video what i made is from alfold 5.3.1 version but maybe this error also works with the 5 version, so you don't need to install the updates, just the standart pack and the rolling stock.

PS: I've noticed something. In orts the level crossings act as a non visual signal (i don't know why), but in track monitor that crossings where the train stops instantly show red, where they aren't stop those showing green.
here is the red signal on crossing (but i still don't understand why a red signal should do stops a train? (especially instantly))

Just in case it helps anyone the Open Rails log file "OpenRailsLog.txt is saved in the users Desktop directory. A path something like........

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Desktop

"User Name" of course meaning the name of the Window user as specified on system installation.

It was an error when a road tries to find crossing gates on it, and it tries to sort them so cars know how to interact with crossing gates. The error was due to two crossings are too close. I think compressing .w file may lose some accuracy, hence these crossings are viewed as the same.

I modified the source code a bit to catch this error, and the route is loaded fine without uncompressing the .w files.

Great, jjtang, that's real realtime solution!
Thanks

Thanks.

Thinking about it again, you don't really need the rolling stock, just the route. Just start an explore route with some rolling stock, with pilisvorosvar- nyugati or budapest nyugati path.

So I've had a brief look at the route and it is a signal stopping the train (for a SPAD error). Have a look at this picture and notice the distance to the next signal and its aspect in the Track Monitor:

Yes i've already linked a picture about that. But in msts that is never show stopping signal... even that is not looks like a signal in track monitor. On other routes (default routes) too, i see signal on level crossing in orts but those show green.

Watch this:

Same place same level crossing but in msts. And there is no signal. So the problem is, ORTS handle the level crossings as signals. But why?

For comparison here is in ORTS

I can't find your picture but more to the point, why were you continuing to claim it was not a signal stopping the train when you knew it was? You've wasted loads of my time if you did know all alone!

Open Rails Team:

Hey guys - just had a few minutes to test your latest work - and - I am duly impressed... It's come a long way from the last release... You guys nailed it with the lighting/shadows - started cruising the old L&HR down a wooded section - the trees creating shadows all over the train on a nice summer day - fantastic effect and vast improvement over MSTS... Love the new GUI as well...

One note: While looking through alpha windows - outside looking in - on some passenger cars - the far wall on the opposite side of the coach was invisible...

Thanks for the huge effort you guys are putting forth !!!

[kox]

Why i claim it was not a signal that stops the train? Because that is NOT a signal(and i didn't see that bug until i linked that screenshot)! That's a level crossing, but in OR somehow it behaves like signal.

BTW here is the comment with the screenshot https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showth...49#post1669049 #214
