ORTS Feedback

[OTTODAD]

I have now created a new page on my web site which shows what I have found not to work as it should or does not work the way I think that it should and have posted a link to it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/or

http://www.otto-wipfel.co.uk/orts-to-do/

Users of ORTS finding more that does not work and needs fixing can e-mail me screenshots of whatever, describing the problem and I shall add it.

As items are being fixed I shall remove them from this page until there is nothing left.

Until then and after new routes using 3D objects have been created with a new ORTS Route Editor to take advantage of the ORTS graphics engine I shall carry on using the Train Simulators I am happy with, but shall continue to supply more feedback as and when.

Users who find errors need to log them on Launchpad. That way, the developers can email the person experiencing the bug for more information. Scattering the information around on a bunch of different websites or using intermediaries to do the bug reporting just doesn't seem particularly productive...

As I have said in my previous post all of what is showing on my web site has been made known to ORTS one way or another and a fix for is still outstanding.

Not all will want to register and learn how to report bugs in https://bugs.launchpad.net/or !

Scanning it to check the 114 Open bugs that have been reported, not showing any that have been dealt with, is also not an option many will want having to do.

My web site clearly shows screenshots and JPGs of what I and perhaps others have found and reported that is still outstanding.

KISS !

Seems like it would be simpler to report any bugs about OR to the team thru their website.

That could cause duplications of existing bug reports unless they spend a lot of time scanning all 114 reported bugs which are still open !

So adding one more would help?

Having had a break and thinking about this there is no easy way to keep tabs on what bugs have already been reported and have not been posted about in this forum.

Having an extensive range of MSTS routes and rolling stock it is likely that I will find more that is not working as it should and not wanting to scan Launchpad, not easy to search it, will just have to report it.

I have 2743 bug reports in my Outlook folder right now, since I receive all of them. I can't say every one of them is being worked on, indeed some have been dismissed as simply not worth fixing or for another, later version. Many are being worked on, some are on the back burner, some have been fixed, and indeed, many are problems with a particular route or model that simply don't have a solution outside of fixing the route or the model.

The devs at OR are perfectly happy with the Launchpad system, and that is the current method of reporting bugs, including among devs from one to another.

While I'm sure everyone appreciates the extra efforts that some feel are necessary, posting in a forum, or posting on a webpage is simply not going to assist in getting bugs fixed.

For the time being and for the foreseeable future, Launchpad is where bugs should be reported and tracked. Please be patient if you don't receive an answer right away, a small number of people are chugging through the bug reports as rapidly as possible.

Thanks so much for everyone's time, effort, and support of Open Rails!
