Give a small suggestion.
When the game is running, Press Esc will cause the game exit immediately.
I think give a promote dialog will be better.Because i often press F1 for help, I often miss press the key Esc, and the game exit......

Since Open Rails runs as a Windows application (XNA game studio), it is controlled like any other Windows application. Meaning the ESC key will cause the application to quit.

Would it be possible to interpose a message prompt asking whether you want to quit, or cancel and return to the game?

ESC usually wants to exit whatever is running, in the case of an activity the activity itself after a warning has been displayed and it is up to programmers to decide what they want it to do.

I use Alt-F4 to exit whatever, not done easily by mistake and again many programs asking for confirmation !

I do think some method of pausing the game would be useful.

Why not do what we are used to MSTS does when pressing ESC, which when pressed again returns to the activity ?

The PAUSE key works in the latest release.

This is exactly what I intend to do; it's just not been implemented yet, like so many other things.

Take your time, guys, Rome was not build in one day either !

Go straight to Goal ;-)

Thanks James, that will save a few choice words when the Esc is 'accidentally' hit in the heat of the moment.

If you mean the Keyboard's Pause/Break key then it does not work with my WIN-XP SP3 ORTS 0.6.2.776 !

I would also add that there should be implemented a neutral position for the reverser !

Already in the current development release.

This is a known problem with Windows XP that we've fixed for the next release. Windows Vista and Windows 7 work with the current release.

[apostle282]

The upcoming release has it ?
