Not sure where to put this

[dredick]

Decided to give OR another try today (running Monon-2 v12) and OR generated some odd messages in the logfile which I believe to be an error with some files in the route and not with OR. Though too it could be how OR is interpreting the files.

I noticed too that the arrow keys don't work exactly like they do in MSTS. For instance, if I hold the down arrow key down long enough, I find myself back in the cab of the engine. Very annoying.

Anyway, is there a place I can post my logfile for persual by the OR staff?

The arrow snap back to the cab occurs in the 2 and 3 views when you drop below the terrain. Agree that it's annoying.

As for the route... OR will still load and run a route with shape and texture errors, unlike MSTS, so your hunch is probably correct.

Post here as a zip, or paste the raw text into a code block, e.g. [code] paste here [/code].

Alright, I have attached a zip of my log.

I see the cab view error, and a shape and texture error, and some issues with the signalling script... could be a mix of the sim not being able to interpret, or it could just be non-standard syntax that MSTS could parse but OR wont.

Did the route load?

Again, my experience is that some things that will bomb MSTS, OR will ignore; some errors, ORTS won't ignore yet MSTS will ignore... These looked like errors that ORTS logged but weren't bad enough to bomb...

[dredick]

Yes, it loaded and ran without a hitch. I've never had trouble with that route, it's one of the few that I have installed that has run "out of the box".

The cabview, shape, and texture errors I could probably fix, but the signalling script I have no clue on.

The script is not something I'd try to tweak just yet -- the next experimental release is said to focus on how signalling is implemented.

Now that should be really interesting!
