Much has been improved by the ORTS team, like the terrain here, but there are still many trees missing:
It also appears that downloading and installing MSTS add-on routes that have an INSTALLME.bat require an installed from CDs MSTS or copied from one Default routes and other data.
Unless they already have all their Terrain Buffers present, MSTS will create them the first time the add-route is being run, but if they have not been created by MSTS it appears that ORTS using its own is missing something !
It will be so much easier to just continue to use the installed from CDs MSTS and its editors so that ORTS can access its routes, rather than waste HD space creating a copy which contains only the MSTS folders ORTS uses, still requiring the MSTS Activities editor to create them for use by ORTS.
I am now going to take my RailDriver out of mothballs to see how its Train / Dynamic, Locos Brakes and Throttle levers perform in MSTS and hopefully also in ORTS.
The short player paths in activities causing the application of emergency brakes, shown by me in another thread, needs to be looked into, many having used Jim Ward's Freestyle activities with short paths which are now not working in ORTS !
Bob Murphy trying to remove these white blobs in Kosmos water seems to be hampered by ORTS not yet being able to use Kosmos environment and do not exist in MSTS default water.
