Speed Loss Running Saved Activity

[OTTODAD]

Preparing for testing the next beta of ORTS I have noticed that running a saved activity there is a continuing loss of speed I can do nothing about and again that there are no track joints sounds audible in the cab but are in the #5 passenger view.

This from my DB-Tracks routes MINI's Gold-Spike-X I have electrified with a -1000 meters overhead wire to allow me to run a high-speed ICE-3, here on the way from Shelby towards the mountains.

Observe it's Tracks Monitor: https://www.otto-wipfel.co.uk/video/...d-activity.wmv

To be looked into ?

Great frame rates and no stuttering like when running it in MSTS !

Could the F5 Hud be programmed with a toggle to show it in 2 parts, like the first 2 parts in MSTS, reducing on screen clutter ?

Otto,
if you are speaking about electric locos, I have noticed that restarting saved activities the pantos are assumed to be in the "down" state (look at the F5 HUD), even if they were up at save time. Graphically they work correctly, that is they are up if at save time they were up. So the internal state is not coherent with the graphic state. If you toggle them with key P you have them up on the F5 HUD and the train runs correctly, but graphically they are down. So in my opinion there is a bug that I hope has been removed in the ORTS version that is being released.

Using the F5 HUD, please make sure that the electricity & panto is connected - you should see a line that indicates if it is on/off

Nice!

After re-starting this F2-saved activity I can not use the P - Panto key although the panel indicates that is it UP and Electricity if OFF !

As Chris said a couple of posts up, that is fixed in the upcoming release.

I am responding to what he said here:

Sorry! I though you might have missed his other post.

No problem, Joe, just making sure that Chris and the ORTS team are aware of what is happening !

Otto, Have you tried Shift P? I have the same problem with some GG1's, so I put both up.
