    Patience

    Will be a while before I shall use ORTS as my main Train Simulator.

    And that's just about visuals and not functionality and never mind frame rates !

    Open Rails for myself.... Is amazing! I couldnt get MSTS to run very well, even with an added graphics card.

      Yeaaaaah, my main probs with OR are:
      1: No Distant Mountains.
      2: Alpha issues in #5 view, and some alpha issues overall
      3: Horn looping is, sucky.
      4: As you've shown, cabs can be...messed up.

      But all in all, pretty dang good sim I'd say! Just keep in mind OR is still in 'beta', so, we're not to OR 1.0 yet.

        Distant Mountains is now the only main MSTS feature left that is completely absent in ORTS. Let's hope the ORTS developers take into account this in their priority setting...

          Hardly a priority item.
          Functionality should take precedence over something as minor as distant mountains.

            Otto,

            Why make this post? We get it, you don't care for OpenRails. Do we really need another bash OpenRails posting?

              The switches don't work in many instances and back-to-back MU'd engines go haywire in switching activities.

              LOOOOOOOOOOOOng way to go.

              Then again most train-simmers just drive a-to-b and wave at AI trains so none of that matters.

              If more people pointed out the flaws maybe some would get fixed. I pointed out the MU problem and someone posted "Yeah, that happened to me".

                Hello,

                I will confide that I cringed when I read the first message in this thread as I and several others already and clearly know that Otto is dissappointed that Distant Mountains are currently missing in OR and that there are other issues that need to eventually get addressed. I saw no reason for a thread created to declare once again this disappointment and preceived patience. But, despite my personal reservations, I let this thread continue to be open, so long as the thread did not generate into personal attacks and another OR wishlist. I now believe that this thread has degenerated into personal attacks, already expressed views about how OR should proceed and disagreement about how to go about the process, and disappointment about certain OR functions. Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinions and if they want to use OR or not, but it gets to the point when its simply a rehash of already expressed thoughts. As mentioned, OR does not have the large number of personnel to address the implementation of certain features let alone resolving issues related to releases in rapid succession. It will take time to address these matters. As mentioned, the OR team has been discussing how to resolve the issues related to the interaction of switches, AI, and the player train.
