Hi Folks,

To ALL involved with this project over the years - THANK YOU very much - I probably would have moved on to other things without your improved vision for a train sim - countless hours of dedication - and - daily improvements to your program... A major milestone is reached - all you guys certainly deserve a bow... For those who haven't tried ORTS - you don't know what your missing...

Regards,
Scott

Perhaps the column for "Stable Version" (left side of the "Download" page) is version 1.0? Updates were time stamped as of today, inclusive of the following page:

http://openrails.org/discover/version-1-0/

The logical conclusion, then, is that the "Stable Version" released today (or so say the time stamps) is likely 1.0. The last stable version was 0.9, released some time ago as I recall.

Hi Charles,

It's listed as 1.0 on the ORTS home page: http://openrails.org/

I'm sure development is not stopping with 1.0 and it will continue to evolve and increment the counter - you can control how your program is "updated" via the "Updater" tab under "Options"... There is a pretty comprehensive manual available as well...

Regards,
Scott

Ditto.
And I echo your sentiments and thanks regarding the work that these guys put in.
Most appreciated.

If you follow the link from the main page to the download, it is the stable version which has the date of 21 May. Ergo, that is version 1.

OH NO !! How am I supposed to get to work on my stack of Roundtoits ? Congradulations to the OR Team. Now, let us see how long it will take for the nay sayers to appear.

The stable version for download is now V1.0 (Replacing the download for 0.9). You can still download the ongoing Unstable versions and frequent Experimental releases -- Now we have the big milestone in place, and you can continue to try out the non-stop improvements as they come. Thank you to everyone who's contributed to OR -- no matter how big or small.

V1.0 would certainly be a cause for celebration in the ORTS camp. They could easily forgiven for taking a break for a while but still the updates come.

I think ORTS is a glimpse into how Microsoft could have (should have?) progressed MSTS 1.x .
Well, MS probably would not have taken the "open" aspect on board, but support for legacy software/content is right up the MS alley. A lost opportunity for MS.

I downloaded this new version, it works great!

I do have one question though, it appears to have updated the previous version I had, but it also put a NEW shortcut on my desktop that does not work. It did not over write the old one, which works fine. It was a little confusing though. When I checked the new version was in fact what I was running, so I deleted the new icon.
