Jittery Speedo Needle

Yep, keep finding "problems" to report, but make sure you don't replicate your test the same...brilliant.

I am not "demanding" anything, but politely suggest some changes which I consider useful...

Well, if that's an example of a polite suggestion, I'd hate to be on the receiving end of an Otto Directive!

If it's only happening in time-acceleration mode, you're wasting the developers time even discussing this as an issue.

It is the ORTS developers Time Acceleration function I am commenting on, it having a problem with this MSTS default Dash-9 loco's speedo dial. It may have nothing to do with the ORTS program code but could be something in the data that loco uses MSTS ignores but not ORTS.

But it is certainly a waste of my time mentioning anything odd in this forum I have noticed when running MSTS routes and rolling stock in ORTS, but is no longer any concern of mine, all of my DB-Tracks MSTS and SR-OTTO Tracks TS-2015 routes performing to my satisfaction and seems also to please those who have downloaded them from my web site !

TO be honest, Otto... I think the jittery speedometer needle is a good thing. I've seen it happen on my ORTS installation too, and that's fairly accurate truth be told. Having worked around older locomotives at the North Carolina Transportation Museum, and seen vids and such on youtube... Sometimes the speedometer needle will indeed twitch a bit and act funny at times. True to life I'd call it. *Shrug*

Clearly with it happening only in accelerated mode I would have to agree with the overall view of so what. It works fine in realtime. This is a complete non issue. I would like to see the dev team stay focused on what REALLY matters. My airplanes if flight sim all have twtchy guages too when I accelerate the time. But I know and understand the cause and dont go demending it be fixed because I know it isnt broke.

Yet another Otto, "I found a bug that isn't a bug and I want it fixed right flipping now!"

Well, that's wonderful.....so why not stick with them and stop complaining about non-issues on items which don't perform to your satisfaction?

If one of the ORTS developers wants to comment, feel free to do so. Otherwise, the conversation is closed...
