      Dear ORTS developers,

      I would just like to tell you that with each new version you bring more hope and joy into my heart for this beautiful simulator. This is something that will make us rail fans happy for years to come. All the things we have had in MSTS being able to use in a new simulator with much better performances - what more can I ask for?

      So thank you, thank you very, very much!
      Borislav

              If you mean having it loop shorter, yes.

                  Yes it has and is better if its been so long since you tried the experimental releases.
