Thanks, lads.
Nice to see DM starting to make an appearance.

Oh...one thing - why has the text for the F6 pop-ups gone to black?

It's a bug, but we've fixed it in X.1544.

I would like to add my own Thank You to the Open Rails team for the latest X release if Seagoon doesn`t mind me tagging along. I have been a fan of Open Rails since I first tried it two years ago, but there was one minor issue with the newest release. There were areas of black terrain, sometimes they were just small patches and others large areas and that did take some away from the game viewing wise . The latest X release fixed that problem. With the improvement in signals and I am trying the optional DM feature myself I like Open Rails more and more ! I think now I am going to the deep end of the Open Rails pool and try some of my switching activities . Keep up the great work guys !!

James, I've just noticed that the corona of headlights/ditchlights can't be seen until the loco is, say, about 50 feet away (when viewing from '4' or '8' viewpoints.
The illumination ahead of the loco is fine.
Maybe it is connected to the "black bug".

No biggy - just an observation.

I have noticed that as well. For me if I had the Distant Mountain feature clicked on the head lights didn`t function properly. You could see the lights shine on the ground but no shine from the lights themselves or just a faint hint of lights shining. With DM off the lights worked fine. So far it seems the only locomotives that work fine either way have been the Scenic Sub ES44`s and at least one KCS loco that I think may be a repainted Scenic Sub ES44. Hope this is of some help.

In regards loco lights, please don't implement search lights on UK steam and older diesel classes.

We have this ridiculous situation in RW and it is completely wrong.

There should be no lighting of the ground ahead of the loco.

This is https://bugs.launchpad.net/or/+bug/1165341, a known issue with the experimental Distant Mountains enabled.

Thanks, James.
As I mentioned, it's certainly no big deal and is far outweighed by the improvement given by the work on DM.

I've noted these issues as well, however the boat load of improvements in this x release is just great. I'd still like to see the cone of light from headlights greatly reduced at night (its blindingly bright) and completely removed for daylight hours.

The problem of disappearing head light has been fixed in the newest release.
