What is the more realistic brake pipe charging rate to choose ? And what can we expect to see in the version of ORTS ?

You can adjust the charging rate for any piece of rolling stock individually in the eng file, both for MSTS and OR.sigpic -
From the Open Rails documentation:
"The default value, 21, should cause the recharge time from a full set to be about 1 minute for every 12 cars. If Brake Pipe Charging Rate (PSI/Second) value is set to 1000, the pipe pressure gradient features will be disabled and will disable some of the other new brake features, but not all of them.
Increasing the Brake Pipe Charging Rate (PSI/Second) value controls the charging rate. Increasing the value will reduce the time required to recharge the train; while decreasing the value will slow the charging rate. However, this might be limited by the train brake controller parameter settings in the ENG file. The brake pipe pressure can't go up faster than the equalization reservoir."
In discussions with real world engineers, this performance is very close to the real world. That's why the value was chosen.
Our latest update was March 11, 2011. Not sure what your asking - see what in what version?Chris

I'm sorry . I meant to ask what improvements could we see in the next version of ORTS ? You guys really did a good job on the last release. I know it's a WIP but keep up the good work.Comment

We're hard at work on completing the stuff on our roadmap page which should be completed for the next release - as well as some interesting stuff on MSTS compatibility front. Cannot say anymore as I don't want to announce something and then let the community down if we cannot deliver.Chris

A difference in meaning
I would hope you meant to write "if" rather than "when" when you said "when we cannot deliver" ;-)
