Italian Engines and ORTS

[rrroberttt]

With version 0.7 the routes made by the Italian trainsim community are working quite well. However, most, not all, of the engines made by them, does not work in ORTS. If MSTS compatibility for engines is not maintained, or at least offered as an option, then those routes will have to be used with rolling stock from other areas of the world. The diesel engines are the ones that seem to have the most problems.

Just out of interest, do the FS E646 & E656 type of locos work without problems in OR ?

I haven't personally tried any Italian routes in OR yet

Both engines work in ORTS. However, the FS e646 horn doesn't shut off.

Hi Robert,

thanks for the info mate. I have a couple of freeware Italian routes that i really like.

So i will have to do some installing.

Thanks again.

It would greatly assist our work if issues like this could be reported as specifically as possible; preferably including links to download freeware content when possible. What, exactly, "does not work" in OR? Do they all have the same problem or are there multiple problems? Does it crash on loading the engines? Do they display incorrectly? Do they operate incorrectly? Please also include the log file (normally "OpenRails.txt" on your Desktop) with reports.

@twpol:

Until version 0.7.0, there were some problems with some of the Italian routes. However, with version 0.7.0, the routes work quite well, except for the signaling, and we know that the signal system up to version 0.7.0 had not been implemented as of yet. The Italian trains, in particular, the diesel trains, refuse to move after releasing the brakes. On the site that I will provide the link to at the end of this post, you will find quite a few Italian routes, as well as the rolling stock. As I recall the electric trains, with an couple of exceptions, worked ok. On the other hand I had found only an couple of the diesel that would move after releasing the breaks. Now, this could be the same problem that I had seen mentioned in an couple of other post, something to do with notched (or not notched), that is not supported by OR. I do not recall the names of the files not working at the moment, the exception were the two mentioned above that I tried out for Nyland.

Here is the link: http://www.trainsimhobby.net/TSH/ You will find many wonderful routes, as well as the trains, both electric and diesel. Remembering that the diesels are the ones that are having the problems in OR. By the way, all trains work correctly in MSTS.
