    x.1567 -- Horn Looping!

    Discovered quite by accident... short horn bursts are now working.

    Very pleased with the new distance selection on DM's, but using that *and* superelevation caused a pretty severe impact on framerates....

        Now you can whistle off - toot toot - and get two shorts instead of a long and a short!

          NICE update, unfortunately frame-rates have taken a -severe- hit in this version it seems.

            I only see version x.1565 on the downloads page. Where does one get this great new feature?

              See the link for the source on the openrails web site, (its in the news entry for Nov 6,2012) when you download the src using svn you also get a compiled version in the "trunk/Program" directory.

              The instructions for downloading are on the src code page.

                Yep, a bit.

                  Thanks for the information. I'll probably just wait until the version is compiled and downloadable. I'm going to be real busy over the next 10 days and I don't need to be distracted by running trains for hours and hours. I've very excited about the short horn capability. It's been one of my biggest pet peeves of OR. Kudos and THANK YOU! to the OR team for their work. MSTS is only for activity and route editing now.

                    Mine seem to have gone up instead of down with this release.

                      I know this is all a work in progress, but I notice a considerable delay when I press the space bar, to when I actually hear the horn. It seems longer than the delay in MSTS. As for the frames, mine seem the same so far.

                        How long does it take a member of the ORTS team to compile the source code of a new experimental version of ORTS, I have tried and could not do it without having to jump through various hoops.

                        Uploading the source code to this web site is a complete waste of time, only a handful being able to download whatever to compile it:

                        https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=13KpEPxFVeVu_US4oHjwKjxQcH3_4Wib1zBmqEspuCK A

                        Instead uploading it compiled to http://openrails.org/experimental.html and updating it's list of bug fixes takes only minutes.

                        You want support and feedback from users of ORTS then you have to do better than that !

                          If you download the source using Tortoise, it includes a complete compiled Program folder.

                            I have found one horn that does not work properly in OR. It is the BLW EMD F7 horn used in the Monon sets. With previous OR versions it only gave a long blast like every other one. With this latest revision it will not stop once sounded. I am also getting a slight crackle in the EMD power unit sounds, a bit like an unsuppressed two stroke motor ignition.

                              It will probably be in the next weeks experimental release. It's not that big of a deal to get all upset over. I think the ORTS team is doing a fantastic job and they shouldn't have to stop and produce a compiled version every time they fix or add something. A few days won't make a difference.
