Open rails is very competent

[tuuliaki]

After spending about 200 hours and about 300 euros to another, perhaps the most popular commercial train driving Simulator at present, I launched Open Rails after a few weeks brake. Once again it became clear that OR is very good in every aspect. OR shines particularly in braking physics, uphill/downhill and coupling physics. Partly open file structure of MSTS + OR make it very interesting to use too. Without Oper Rails this hobby would be much duller. I've said this before, but here it comes again: thanks for developing Open Rails, it's a winner, I like it

Yeah - OR has ruined MSTS for me - there is no going back... Despite being a work in progress - there aren't really many reasons to continue with MSTS...

Absolutely! Just use the MSTS Editor now.Brian

Some neat and unannounced (at least for me) features (not bug fixes) - noticed in X2250 + :

1. You can switch back from "Manual" to "Auto Signal" with Ctrl-M without reducing your speed to zero, whenever you get back on the activity path. This works nicely when you are coming out of a siding after doing a pickup or setout in the activity.

2. The F7 display now shows the Traffic service name above the lead locomotive of AI consists - this helps a lot in developing activities.

Thanks to the developers again,
Sid

I agree. I haven't run MSTS outside of the editors in quite some time. OR has the it hands down for me. Between the super FPS, physics, and countless other features, it's the best. I've tried one of the pay ones, it ran once and only crashes now when you start it. It was deleted from my HD and I'm now an OR only simmer.

Big thank you to the OR team!!

I totally agree the day to night transition and vice a versa is so much smoother the signaling works better and it runs the routes so much better it has given msts new life. Keep up the good work OR people.
