Minor glitch with electric locomotives.

When using the MILW electrics (on the RMD_East route, for example) it is necessary, after returning to a saved game, to re-raise the pantographs and also switch the headlight back on.
All electrical power is lost if this is not done, naturally.

Would it be possible to have the saved-game state also save the state of the panto's?

Thanks,
BK

Fixed in current development build

Problem with UK Class 55 & Class 37 locos

I have downloaded and installed a couple of UK Class 55s and 37s.
All the controls operate okay in MSTS.
When in OR, all the controls operate, with the exception of the throttle; 'A' and 'D' are not recognised and are ineffective.

If you would like the ENG file(s) please let me know.

Thanks,
BK

All fixed.

The Class 55 and 37 have notchless throttles in the ENG data so I simply copied and pasted the notched throttle data from the default Class 50 and all is now working.

Just installed OR a few days ago. Can't leave the computer. SHOCKED at how good it is. New appreciation for the brakeman. Wow. So now comes the question - I've got an engine that won't appear in OR and please bear with me as I'm also using this post to see if I can learn the right way to bring this to your attention and ask for help. The engine loads in MSTS. Selection of the route makes no difference - OR still crashes. I attached the log file - it describes two locomotives I'm trying to use in the player consist. These are SLI repaints which I obtained from Trainsim Library, zip file csxes44u.zip.

Also looks like I also ran out of memory for some reason. The log file is attached. System specs are Visita SP2. 3 GB RAM, Intel i7 2.67 Ghz, Graphics is GTX 260 (two cards).

Many thanks in advance. What a great job the OR team has done!

Some engines won't show because of some cabviews. Try using a different cabview for engines not appearing.

I believe that the SLI engines have problems in the current release of Open Rails, but this has been improved or fixed in the latest development versions.

Two questions which popped into my head yesterday when operating an activity set in the late night-time: will the next update include headlight illumination ahead of the loco and will it include a night sky populated with stars?

If not, certainly no big deal at all.....just curious.

Both of these exist in Open Rails; the night sky has stars by default, and if you enable "Train Lights" in the options the headlight will work just fine.

You can say that again, hahahahahahahaha

Sorry Brucie, you left yourself wide open to that one.

OR Crash - 3rd time - brakeman view

Hi folks:

Don't know if this is a new bug or not. When switching the FJ&G with BLW S2 engine (part of the NYC pack from them) I get a crash after a lot of switching, when I go to move the brakeman view to a new freight car after picking up the car, or when breaking the train to switch with a middle car. The log is attached. Hope this is helpful for everyone.
