Cab Animations in OR

[mikeebb]

I have a couple of diesels (the F59PHIs and cab cars from the old commercial Surfliner set, for instance, which I think were from 3dTrains but am not sure) that work great in MSTS but in OR some controls just don't move. For the Surfliner equipment, the brake handles stay at full-on regardless, even though things are otherwise (using keyboard commands) running fine. If I try to operate the brakes using the mouse, the train brake handle moves in reverse to the mouse movement, which otherwise works normally. The independent brake, also, works normally with the mouse but the handle never moves at all. Is this something that can be fixed by the user?

All other controls work as expected, and are animated as expected. Only the brake handles are not displaying correctly.

There are others with brake (especially) animation issues; these models are not the only ones.

Ideas?

Thanks.

It is hard to say without actually seeing the cabviews. Is there a free download link for the problematic content?

Using the mouse to operate the for instance 3DTrains Surflner #450 cab console controls has not yet been fully coded for in ORTS.

Explore Mode also has only 3 weather options at the moment, Clear, Snow and Rain, more to be added later no doubt !

Please note that I am only commenting and am not complaining nor whining !

Ask Marc Nelson to PM you a download link for a copy of one of his Surfliner powered cars !

It must be an OR bug.

Except for graphics and position, both CVF entries are near identical for both cab car and locomotive. I just tested and found the same problem with the cab car reversed mouse control and lack of train brake for either unit. Everything works fine in MSTS, however.

Thanks! I had a feeling they might be yours. Great work! Anyway, I guess I'll live with it (doesn't affect operation) and maybe file a bug report - a few other locos have control animation issues too.

Mark,
If you wouldn't mind, please open a bug report in OR: https://launchpad.net/or

It appears that the bug has been present since January, 2013.

One thing is sure: noone will be able to debug it, unless there is a test case presenting the bug is available.
