And i can't use dynamic brakes too. It goes to set (0%), but no more. Throttle is checked too it's at 0%.

Same happens to me in Bernina EMUs as well as in Ruebelandbahn electric loco RLB_171-003.eng. Dynamic brakes worked correctly in version 0_6_2.

This may be the cause. Please make sure the notches in any combined throttle for eng and cvf match. See this thread: http://www.elvastower.com/forums/ind...post__p__78725

[csantucci]

Thanks Chris. The Ruebelandbahn loco however has no combined throttle (the Bernina EMUs do).
In the Ruebelanbahn loco the .eng block about dynamic brakes is as follows:
Brake_Dynamic ( 0 1 0.04 0
NumNotches ( 1
Notch ( 0 1 Dummy )
)
)
and the related .cvf block is as follows
Lever (
Type ( DYNAMIC_BRAKE LEVER )
Position ( 0 0 32 32 )
Style ( SPRUNG )
MouseControl ( 1 )
NumFrames ( 0 0 0 )
NumPositions ( 1 0 )
NumValues ( 1 0 )
Orientation ( 0 )
DirIncrease ( 0 )
ScaleRange ( 0 1 )
)

Is ShadowMap.fx is the only responsible shader for shadowing in OR? (i wonder because i just read railworks3 shadowing shaders because of the low performance, and it's 5x bigger in character number, and much more complex, with lots of conditional and branched parts)

Not quite - it's the shader responsible for generating the shadow map. The SceneryShader "applies" the shadow map when drawing the scenery - it does almost all of the visual work so is much larger and more complex.

I see but it have much fewer if commands (what the GPU's don't run well) than railworks 3 shadowing shader have, so probably that's why the OR shadowing have so little performance impact.

Clovis Sub Crashed

I created an activity in Activity Generator for the Clovis Sub, the one in the TrainSim library. 5 hours plus into the activity it crashed.

It appears from the log that a pop up window tried to open (Activity message or one of the HUDs). Did you attempt to change/bring up a F# HUD when the problem happened?

No I was just cruising along, not doing anything.

Harold

EDIT: I was running from a saved game point and ran the activity from there and got the same results every time and not at the same spot. Maybe up or down the line by a 100 feet.

Was this a continuous 5 hour session, or 5 hours with Save & Restore of the game? I'm hoping Save & Restore, because no one on the team is looking forward to testing 5 hour activities to solve a potential issue. :>)

I lost the original save. I loaded a fresh copy of OpenRails from a new directory. Ran from the save point and went further down the line. Saved that session. Now it won't run that save. Open Rails crashes. Forgot that the saves are all in the same AppData directory.

Since the log file won't upload here is the file.

Need a better save mechanism.

The Pop-ups didn't show up in the Marias Pass - Columbia Plywood set-out activity

Pop-ups show up in East Metro but after saving they don't show again which is nice. I hate those little messages, I prefer "sandbox", work order and map.

Got this when I clicked on Work Order in the F1 window along with a lockup:

We can reproduce the issue on our systems. There's a bug report filed.

The Pop-ups didn't show up in the Marias Pass - Columbia Plywood set-out activity

Just tested the activity and pop-ups do work. You get one immediately as you leave the main line with instructions on what to do. Some of the later messages are dependant on other actions.

Save & Restore has not been implemented for Activities in this release. We're working on getting those "little messages" working in the future :>)

[hminky]

It would be nice if they were optional, just having the work order and map is great, makes it feel like working a railroad. The "little messages" make it a game and not a simulation.

That is what I hate about "scenarios" in Railworks, that "go to destination Q2, go to destination Q3". Sorta like playing an RPG while reading a guide.

I'm enjoying running with high speed trains the french LGV-Med line (using OR).
I would like however to show this strange behaviour of the overhead wire above some rail sections (overhead wire being side shifted and not above center of tracks).

On MSTS the overheadwire is OK. If the OR team needs specific additional info, pls tell me what I should provide.

What kind of track is used? And where can the team download it?
