Does OpenRails still support RailDriver?

[hminky]

The switch throwing problem was fixed in the lastest experimental version with the keyboard but it still doesn't work with RailDriver.

I looked at the 0.8 manual if there was a change in installation and RailDriver isn't mentioned. RailDriver installation was in the 0.646 manual.

RailDriver still works but switches can't be thrown if RailDriver direction is forward.

EDIT: The switches sorta work with the keyboard. The switches change but flip back with a longer pause. LAME!!!

Switches don't work with all routes and all switches don't work with some routes.

One reason is that the switch is on the path of an AI train, which always want the switches be properly set. Some shapes may not have the animation properly defined so you may also do not see the movement.

Could you please open the dispatcher window to see if the switch is actually thrown (the dot should change color from black to grey or vice verse).

You need to choose to view the dispatcher window in the menu, and then use "Ctrl-9" to evoke the dispatcher in the game. The window is originally minimized, so have to find it from the system tray and click it.

Once in the dispatcher window, you can also click a black dot and follow the popup menu to change a switch.

I am running the Lasalle, Rockford and Central with no AI and all switches manual.

The activity was generated by Activity Generator.

The switches always change back.

EDIT: Come to a conclusion, with a high end system, Win7, RDtrainfix and a 28"-1920x1200 monitor why bother with OpenRails.
MSTS works well enough and does a lot more than the other sims.
